Reviews for Apple Wireless Keyboard - English

Apple has recently converted me to a believer in the form and function of hardware and software integration. I purchased this product as a companion for my "new" ipad and have nothing but accolades. Online, the largest criticism that can be found of the wireless keyboard paring with the ipad is that it does not include the home button feature as some other products offer. This is interesting, particularly when you consider that regardless of there being a home button option or not on the keyboard itself, your next move will be to choose, by touching the ipad, the next app or function you wish to activate. To me, this negates the criticism as you need to touch the ipad again regardless. This product is exceptionally constructed, types easily and has met the highest of expectations. I am a heavy business and personal user, typing this very review with joy with my new pairing. The on screen keyboard is fine for minor tasks, however rapid typing calls for serious hardware. Apple wireless keyboard: Comfort, style, form, function - outstanding. Make your choice. I could not be more satisfied.

This keyboard is perfect for use with the iPad 2. I long ago taught myself to use the number keys at the top instead of a number pad which I found inconvenient since I had to shift my view to the right and look away from the screen. The small size of the keyboard fits well with the iPad 2 and yet it's large enough for touch typing without feeling cramped. It has a very solid feel, it should since it's backed by a solid aluminum plate. This product finally makes the iPad 2 useful for text entry. I paired it with my iPad 2 in about 2 seconds, no problems.

I think the reviews for this keyboard should be a full five stars. I had the dangerous job of typing 70 words per minute while in the Air Force for twelve years (that was 20 years ago). I've used a plethora of keyboards. I even taught typing/word processing at a business school. This keyboard feels good! I type fast. And, the no hassle bluetooth connection is amazing! I love this keyboard. I have two, one for my iMac and one for my iPad. Again, it is worthy of a full five stars!

I've been using mine for two years now, and I'm delighted with it. Solid construction, great key feel, stable, and extremely reliable. I hammer keys, and I have a long history of breaking keyboards. This one has survived my abuse with no problems. It has also survived a couple of coffee spills. Best keyboard I've ever owned.

Incidentally, I use rechargeable batteries and get about three weeks from a charge, I think, but I don't pay careful attention. I use the keyboard for most of my workday.

I enjoy my wireless keyboard and have had no problem with it. I am curious though, this model number is new? I know they came out with new mice, but what is different from this keyboard and the previous?

I really recommend this keyboard to people. I bought it yesterday and I love it. Many people complain about how they can't tell if it is off. To tell if it is off or not, just press the caps lock button before putting your device in standby mode. It will turn off when the deviuce stops using it. I hope this helps.

When I first opened the box I was mystified. How do you turn it on? Where do the batteries go? 8-) (I'm not a great one for reading documentation before I start using something.) As I discovered the 'on' button at one end, and then the battery compartment at the other, I laughed with delight at the cleverness of this design. Ingenious and effective design is why we are willing to pay more for our Mac stuff, of course

Some have criticized the keyboard for being too small but I got used to it quickly and find it quite comfortable. Guys with big hands might not be as comfortable. I have large hands for a woman and it is fine for me. The small size and bluetooth connection allow me much freedom for placement. I like the touch and the silence. So for me, it's five-star, and I don't give those lightly.

Now that I have one myself, some of the critical reviews seem nitpicky.
