Reviews for Apple Wireless Keyboard - Dutch

Rounded up to a two, but really APPLE is not using hardly any of its design skills on this one. AA Batteries, really? They couldn't figure out how to make it chargeable? because I'm pretty sure they have the chargeable-small-device thing figured out.
also, the thing starts warning me that batteries are low when they're still almost half charged. So now it's been warning me regularly for the last month and a half, it's pretty annoying. And there should be a keyboard lock built into it so it does not turn your laptop on when you accidentally hit a key (or which happens easily in your backpack.) Aside from being super-irritating I think this drains the keyboard batteries.To get around this you need to always remember to turn your bluetooth off on your computer when not using the keyboard, and/or take the batteries out of the keyboard. lame!
BTW the keyboard itself works fine to type on, but if that's all I needed I would buy a corded one and save some $

I didn't use it that much and it worked great for a while but this morning, it inexplicably died. I've had it for less than a year.

I'll be buying a cheaper bluetooth keyboard if this is what the reliability will be.

After all these years, Apple still can't figure out how to make their wireless product, you know... WORK.

i've had this keyboard for over a year, and it's a constant headache to work with it. First, the battery use. While most keyboards I've used only need batteries changed about once every 6-12 months, this one needs batteries changed nearly once a month.

Second is the performance issue. It has issues connecting to a computer it's paired to. It might just lose connection to the computer, without any apparent reason (note - this is not happening with any other keyboard we've tried). If you want to pair it with another computer - it's pain in the neck to make it go into pairing mode. There is no clear way to put it into the pairing mode - you merely turn it on, and it goes into pairing mode if it's not paired with anything, automatically. The problem is if it is paired - good luck making it go into the pairing mode to pair it with another device.

At this point I have switched to the regular USB keyboard, as this keyboard is just causing too many issues.

Over the last few years, we've had about 4 of these just die. Fresh batteries do not resolve the issue. I've had one that just suddenly a number of keys no longer worked. These are very gently used in an office environment. We just toss them in the trash. I just had one die yesterday. They look cool but don't seem to be reliable. Its just my personal opinion but I don't care for typing on them. I grab the previous style apple keyboards on ebay instead. Our marketing staff really don't care for them either

i am typing on the 3rd wireless keyboard i have obtained from apple. when i bought my imac it came with both mouse and keyboard; fine and dandy. but when small little problems happen such as not able to connect to bluetooth or watching 5-8 commands go off via internal keyboard when you're pressing the "s" key, thats a big problem. especially when it comes to hot keys and such. now i have spoke to numerous agents on tech support and they say that the keyboard isn't as important when you're trying to configure. that is somewhat true if you do not protect your software with passwords, encryptions, etc.
not for nothing but i would have scrapped these keyboards and about a 20$ wired logitech keyboard because at least problems like what i have previously noted would have greatly decreased. thank apple for the warranty.. thank myself for getting that lil bundle because i don't think apple accessories are covered a warranty. i could be wrong.
oh and as well, if you're a gamer (like myself) both wireless keyboards and wireless mouse will not be your friend. even at its most sensitive

first of all i'm an apple-addict. so the first two things i've bought in a few days after my 'the new ipad' were smart cover and in two more days apple wireless keyboard. and when i found smart cover quite useful i can't say so 'bout wireless keyboard. first of all - i think that batteries were actual in 90s, but not in 2012! apple always research smth innovating and leads in progress. somehow, not with this kwyboard. the second thing, that made me gone REALLY crazy 'bout itself was the next thing. when typing a message you can't send it by pressing 'enter' or 'go' or the same stuff. you have to touch the screen. yeah, i know steve said that we have ten stylos on each hand but! what for then 'enter' when using a wireless keyboard? i don't know. and the country i live in, Russia, there are much higher prices on apple products, then in usa. so i've just spent 3490 rubles (or smth 'bout 117 $) on nothing.
after a few minutes using your "innovation" i've put it a box it came from:)

I cannot do power typing on this keyboard AT ALL--I make numerous typos. So...I slide out my keyboard drawer, put a plug in keyboard that I had in the garage, and keep the wireless one in back of the keyboard. I love the look of the wireless keyboard, and what it's about, but can't use it!! I am very disappointed. Does anyone have an idea how to have a 'plug-in keyboard' that is totally compatible with Mac, and you can actually power type on it???

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.

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