Reviews for Apple Wireless Keyboard - English

This is a great keyboard... for awhile. I've heard countless stories of them failing. Mine was brand new a year ago and now it doesn't work. This is one of the products that Apple has simply not mastered yet. Very Disappointed.

I do lots of typing, and I've found this keyboard to be very easy on my hands. I like the touch of the keys and it's great not having a keyboard take up a lot of space. As a left-hander, having the numbers on the right hand side was something I never used, so I don't miss it.

Many have complained about the bluetooth connectivity, but having used the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse for a little over three months, I can't be more happy. I was expecting the size and design of the keyboard to be uncomfortable, but I have no complaints. I can touch-type for hours without tiring and don't miss my large, clunky, and "ergonomic" PC keyboard. The responsiveness of the keys is excellent and there is no lag between keyboard and computer. The keys have a wonderful feel to them, soft with a slight grippiness, and the tactile clicking sensation feels more controlled than a typical keyboard. The whole experience of typing has certain je ne sais quoi. I have 70% battery life three months later (from the original packaged batteries) and that is with at least five hours of daily use.

I like Apple’s Wireless keyboard. It’s very compact and easy to use. Never had problems with Bluetooth connectivity or battery life.

So why did I replace it with a Logitech wireless keyboard? Because what made the keyboard so compact is also what made it very inconvenient for me; the lack of a numeric keypad and other important keys like “Home”, “End”, “Delete”, and page keys.

If you work with numbers and financial documents like I do, I recommend not getting this keyboard. Go with a full-size keyboard with all the useful keys.

On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, I give the Apple Wireless keyboard only 2 stars. There are better keyboards out there for less money.

I love my Apple Keyboard, but there is a fatal mistake. I cannot put it in my bag, because the buttons get pushed which turns on the keyboard, which runs out the batteries, and sometimes turns iTunes which is really embarrassing in the middle of class, or a work meeting. I have a case, but it does not protect the keys from being pushed.

I got one of these with my iMac and I love it, I have never had a computer with wireless anything so the wireless was amazing to me, the keyboard looks really good as well and compared to most keyboards the sound of hitting keys is very low. The batteries last a long time as well, I got my iMac in June and just changed the batteries last month and i use the iMac every day for at least 2-3 hours.

Love the keyboard, but wish it had the extended numeric keypad included like the corded keyboard. What gives? Let's do it!

love the keyboard. it works beautifully. but it has a truly awful, toxic smell. i hope it will wear off. if anyone has solved this problem, i would love to hear how you did it. i tried contacting customer service, but the process was so long and cumbersome that i gave up.

I bought one of these for my iPhone, and it has been great for taking notes and replying to emails. I have also used it with my EeePC, which otherwise has a small keyboard. It works well for anything that communicates by Bluetooth. My wife loves hers for her new iPhone, and I'm about to order a third for my son, who has an iPhone and iPad. It works splendidly with either one.
The keyboard is beautifully designed and runs for months on a pair of standard AA batteries. The on/off switch is unobtrusive and easy to access. Turning it off requires holding the switch for a few seconds until a small green light goes off, although it also can put itself to sleep.
One of the great things I just discovered about the keyboard is that it can serve as a remote shutter release for the iPhone and iPad. When the Camera app is open, just press the F12 (volume up) key on the keyboard. It works from more than 20 feet away.

Very nice keyboard. It's very compact and the keys have a nice feel to them. Batteries lost quite awhile. It has a very modern look sitting on your desk, way better looking then the clunky black oversize pc keyboards. I only wish they built one with backlit keys.
