Reviews for Apple Wireless Keyboard - English

Would like to see a keyboard with:

1) Auto/manual adjustable key lighting
2) Full size with numeric pad
3) Recharging ability with USB cable connection or wireless.

Apple has always had always had awesome keyboards sleek up-to date (looking almost futuristic). But yes its aluminum and yes it's sleek... But bluetooth?

The good-
Fits awesome beside a mouse, it has a almost a fully loaded control, batteries last most of the time if you are not a big typer, It removes the little usb connector from the computer for the normal wireless key boards come with.

The bad-
Bluetooth, WHY? it just makes it not really user friendly when trying to connect to the iPad or iMac or any other mac that is bluetooth ready (DOES NOT WORK ON ANY WINDOWS COMPUTERS). You also loose 2 usb ports that are on the non wireless keyboards, also takes a-little bit to connect, but 2 batteries just raises the keyboard WAY more than necessary, Increased weight to be what it is.

Finally--- the way that Apple make products is amazing but this one was more like a hit then miss.Because you need a big screen to see what your typing when it is on you lap and you are far away, and then yes it is thin and lite but i don't really enjoy it as much as my numeric pad keyboard even though they both feel great while typing.

This is a decent keyboard. It looks fabulous. I get the design decision to make the iMac all about the display, and the sleek, paired down keyboard enhances the effect. It's responsive, and basically comfortable. HOWEVER:

If you need a 10-key, forget it. This keyboard isn't for you. So, financial types, and those of us creatives who like 10-key for logging time codes, etc. are outta luck.

Not at all ergo. The layout is pretty standard, but the keys are not contoured. It's so slim that the usual keyboard tray with wrist rest is impossible to use. So, it sits on the desktop . . . doesn't take up much real estate, but it's not at all as comfy as a full size keyboard.

Think it's probably fine for home use, but if you sit in front of a machine all day, you'll want a full-size keyboard.

types nice, looks nice, well-designed, poorly built - wobbly. when typing the thing would rattle and rattle against the tabletop.

here's a kicker - i bought the keyboard in the US, and took it to UK. went into apple store in UK to get a swap -- they refused to, citing trade agreements and throwing out words like "laundering" and "extortion".

okay, regardless of whether Apple US or Apple UK are separate business entities, this is simple matter of warranty of the same product. i wasnt returning the product - asking to exchange a defective apple product for a working apple product.

It is a nice keyboard. The style is great. However, I just don't feel that it is worth $69.99. At least give me a full sized keyboard at that price. Kinda' feel ripped off.

This is the first wireless keyboard I've used and sure like the lack of wires. Also, after 2 days, I like the touch better than I thought I would; however, the keys seem a little cramped compared to my old Apple Pro Keyboard even though the size looks about the same. Also, I know I'm going to miss the keypad. So, I'm not sure if I'll keep using it or not. I'll give it a little more time.

looks awesome, but be ready to change the batteries OFTEN!!!

I love the sleek design and comfort of this keyboard, but it's lack of number pad made me take it back. Perhaps I'm one of the only accountants using a mac (?!?!) but the number pad is a necessity. Why isn't there an option with wireless keyboards?

A page up/down, forward delete and 10-key are pretty much a must for me. I'm still having trouble adjusting, so may have to set this one aside, which is a pity.

Really like the feel and wireless capability, just too limited.
