Reviews for Apple Wireless Keyboard - English

This is a pretty cool device. I quickly made the purchase, totally overlooking the fact that it doesn't have a charger. It works with AA batteries:(. So, stock up on them batteries! Another drawback for me was that it doesn't have the numeric section like the USB keyboard. I do a lot of financing thingies, and while this shorter keyboard version is cute, it's no bueno for me!

The design is great and the feel of the buttons is different than previous models, but you get used to it rather quickly. No problem there. My problem is that it does not have a numerical keypad. I did not know that when I optioned out of the wired keyboard and chose the wireless one during my MacPro purchase. After the computer arrived and I realized there was no numerical keypad, I was disappointed but hoped I wouldn't miss the keypad that much. I found that if you used it in the past for passwords or any other numerical type of entry, you will miss it every time with this model. I have no idea why Apple doesn't offer two wireless models. One without a numerical keypad and one with. I am selling my wireless keyboard and purchasing one with a keypad. I lasted 5 months.

Was looking around for a bluetooth keyboard for my Vaio. The only product that I found being small, light, ergonomic and strong was the Apple Wireless Keyboard.

After using the product I love it. Its very well engineered, strong, lightweight and looks really good. On top of that the keys are really the best I tried to type with. Short keystroke and distinct.

The keyboard is missing some keys for Windows. However, that is not a problem. I downloaded a small free program that remaps the keys (like the Win key that I never use) to another key. Its all done by adding registry entries, so no resident program. Got all the functionality that I need and I am very happy with the product.

I purchased this device to use with my iPad. Pretty much the only initial annoyance with the iPad was typing. You have this large virtual keyboard, but I find that I can't type on it much faster than the one on my phone. So I picked up this guy and so far so good. fast sync with the iPad, small size, easy to throw in your laptop bag. Still on the first set of batteries after 1 month of use. Hardly travel with my macbook pro now.

I am a new Mac user... brand new... Recently switched from PC to Mac within the last month (after over 20 years on a PC). I had been used to full-size PC keyboards for so long, that when I saw this keyboard arrive with my new iMac, my startled self thought, What the HECK is this?? But it's really a HUGE improvement in keyboards in general. It has such an easy and quiet touch on it, and its "smallness" doesn't affect the speed with which I type/key. In fact, I type FASTER on this keyboard than on a regular-size keyboard and with less mistakes. I think this is because the keys are within easier finger-reach and it doesn't take a lot of pressure to key in the letters. I highly recommend it!

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.

I love this wireless keyboard, it was so easy to hook up it took me less than 60 seconds and I was using it with my MacBook. This keyboard has great range, excellent battery life, and makes writing a lot easier for me. I have no complaints at all with this product it is one of my favorite accessories to use with my MacBook.

Thank you Apple for a great product!

Bought this to use with my MacBook when it is connected to my tv. It weighs about as much as a paper clip which is taking some getting used to since I type in my lap. I'm baffled as to why it has white textured keys, I can't wait to see how dirty it will look in a year. The lack of a backlight is completely dumb and I would have purchased another keyboard if I would have realized this before.

Key board approximately 6 months old. Caps lock key faulty or already broken. No authorised repairers located in central CBD. Disappointing apple product.

So this keyboard has a great look and feels like a laptop. This is not a good choice for doing a lot of typing as the keys are too close together and don't give enough feedback - either tactile or auditory - when you type. Useless for data entry. I thought Apple wanted to appeal to the business and scientific community. The separate aftermarket calculator has gotten only two stars.
I made my own keyboard stand to put this keyboard in the proper angle and position to type with a wrist rest. Still not as good as some of the after market keyboards. Bluetooth can be buggy at times and depend on battery charge, USB less of a problem. If it came with an iMac, save it to use with your iPad, and buy an aftermarket wired keyboard if you do a lot of typing. I wouldn't buy it as a replacement keyboard.
This is a case of form being subservient to function.
