    wireless keyboard

    • Written by from Houma

    I was very, very disappointed in the quality of the wireless keyboard that came with my new iMac. It is too small and too lightweight, it is difficult to type on because the keys are too smooth and flat. Also, the mouse was too small to feel adequate in my hand.

    So......I had to go out and buy a Microsoft wireless keyboard - that had the number pad on the right as Apple deleted that - and a wireless mouse.

    And now some of the functions don't work with the iMac even though the model I bought is supposed to be compatible with the iMac.

    Just really, really disappointed in Apple putting such a cheap keyboard & mouse with such a fine desk top computer.

    Apple Wireless Key Board

    • Written by from Pasig City

    It is a very useful accessory for my iPad. I don't know why some have issues with battery life. But I have used mine for more than a year daily for 8 to 10 hours except a few weekends and I have not replaced the original lbatteries I put in.

    Surprisingly disappointed

    • Written by from Summit

    I just recently bought the new iMac, which comes with this wireless keyboard. It looks nice on my desk, but constantly needs to be given new batteries. But there are no other iMac keyboards, really, so I guess this is just a warning to keep a box of batteries near your computer.

    Otherwise, the design is rather elegant and aplomb the way it can be moved from one spot to another without the cord! I hope I help :)

    ipad3 paired with wireless keyboard

    • Written by from Fayetteville

    I had to write a review on this product only because I tried another brand of wireless keyboard thinking they would be basically the same. They were not. I tried it out over night and took it back to the store the next day and got the apple keyboard. The apple keyboard was cheaper than the less popular brand and the keys were more responsive and registered clicks were spot on! I highly reccomend it! I love it with my ipad3! There are some features that don't work with the ipad, but for heavy typing for long periods of time the ipad3 was a bit frustrating. I find this keyboard very impressive and helpful!

    how did i get by without this? And why?

    • Written by from San Antonio

    I love my wireless keyboard so much I had to write a review. It paired easily with my old Macbook (sort of a Lazurus project) and my newer 13" MacbookPro. A whole row of keys and the battery on the old Macbook got fried when someone accidentally drowned it a few years back. Thanks to my new wireless keyboard, "It's alive!" I had to turn the new MacbookPro off while i was pairing to the old Mac and vice versa but the keyboard now works fine with both. I noticed some folks mentioned problems with paring.. I know I had to be patient...it seemed like it couldn't find it initially but now we are locked and loaded with no problems whatsoever.

    Also, the keyboard is light yet durable and angled which offers a more ergo-friendliy experience then even the Macbook itself. Works great with the Magic Mouse and no problems using with RocketFIsh adapter to 22" monitor. Thank you Apple for making such a stellar and affordable product. Worth every penny!

    Nice keyboard with some flaws

    • Written by from Cranford

    THe keyboard is made out of aluminum which gives it a nice look the only flaw is that the caps light will burn out so you can't tell if its on or off.

    Great, but why not full-sized??

    • Written by from Fairfax

    The smaller size is handy for throwing in a notebook bag and hitting the road, but at my desk I need the real thing. What I don't understand is why Apple discontinued the full-sized wireless keyboard. Why not have both? Rather short-sighted if you ask me. It's these types of moves by Apple that makes me wonder what they are thinking, or even if they're thinking, inside or outside the box.

    Excellent keyboard

    • Written by from San Antonio

    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.

    Numeric Pad

    • Written by from san francisco

    This keyboard is great. The gripe I have is that Apple has not built a full function wireless keyboard. A full function keyboard with a keypad by Apple does not come in wireless? Really?

    Needs improvement

    • Written by from LEANYER

    The key board looks good and works well. Issue which need to be addressed is the frequent disconnection and re-connection, with Imac, for reasons unknown even when new batteries are used. Even most trivial jolts can trigger a disconnection but most often the reason is not clear. Pressing the power button sometimes restores the connection and sometimes connection is established spontaneously.

    Love this keyboard!

    • Written by from Primghar

    I have purchased this keyboard mostly because I wanted to be able to type on my iPad, however I find my self using it on my iMac more and more. I have to take one star off because Apple doesn't offer a number trackpad which would be nice but I overall like the style of the keyboard. One other comment is that because this keyboard is wireless you do have to use batteries and I would advise getting the Apple Battery Charger for $29. I also think that $69 is a little overpriced but it is Apple so... Overall awesome product and you will love to get one as well!

    Keyboard is Perfect

    • Written by from Phoenix

    I use this keyboard and the magic mouse with my MBP on a stand when I'm at the office. It works exactly how it's supposed to. I'm surprised at the bad reviews on here. I've had my keyboard for years and never had a problem. I recently tried it on the iPad 2 and it worked for typing but not navigating. No biggie; not what I bought it for, but if you want it for an iPad it might not be what you're expecting.

    Terrible Product

    • Written by from Woodland Hills

    Apple has a real problem with their product quality. This is the second keyboard I've bought in the past two years. In fairness the first lasted for almost a year. The second didn't make three months before it would not connect. I'll have to try a third party one.

    Excellent Keyboard

    • Written by from Cumming

    This is a high quality and well designed device. The first thing to say about this keyboard is, it syncs up very easily and reliably to your desktop or iPad. It took me about 90 seconds to sync this keyboard, and that includes checking to see if there were batteries in the device. Ever since then, the device has continued to sync perfectly with no issues.

    This keyboard is small and light, but feels sturdy and is not bendable. Though the keyboard is very small, the keys themselves are fairly large. The design of the keyboard is beautiful, and fans of apples current aluminum look will like it. The device always "Just works" and you dont have to turn it off an on between uses, though there is a small delay when the keyboard has been idle before the first input is received. This is to be expected and not a hassle. Great keyboard and at 69.99 not a bad deal either.

    THE WORLDS BEST KEYBOARD!!!!

    • Written by from coaldale

    I had purchased one in MAY 2012, and I gotta say, this key board completes my iPad 2. Now I dont need a laptop right now because I can do all my schooling right here!

    Buy one. Live better.

    No delete key

    • Written by from Shickshinny

    I recently bought at the Apple Store in NY the new iPad and Apple Wireless Keyboard in Spanish to use with my Apple computers and the iPad. The iPad, great! but was disappointed by the keyboard because it does not have a delete key: you can delete letters, etc. backwards, but no letters or anything else to your right, something people who write do constantly. Can someone offer a solution? Thanks.

    Not All Function Keys Are Compatible With iPad2

    • Written by from Pinehurst

    Very disappointing to find that the only real use I can get out of this keyboard is typing into Notes or Pages. Still have to tap the screen to navigate around the Home Screen. Does not work with App. Will be returning this keyboard.

    Great Keyboard

    • Written by from Coral Springs

    I use this keyboard and the Magic Mouse on my desk because my 13" MacBook Pro is back touching my wall and my desk is like 2-3 feet long. It is good this way because I don't wanna reach all the way up. The reason that I didn't sell this with my MacMini is because I saw that if you connect something to the Display (ThunderBolt) Port and close it, you can still use the mac closed but with a mouse and keyboard. I am going to buy a MiniDisplayPort To a VGA of an old !5" monitor for my desk.
