Reviews for Apple Wireless Keyboard - Dutch

It's a good keyboard. The problem is that it doesn't have a numeric keypad. Apple clearly designed this keyboard for those who only surf the net, write emails, and looking at photos. End of story.

They didn't seem to take into consideration that there are many design and 3D programs that take effective use of the num keypad for either navigation and/or extra functionality of such programs. Sure ok, you can get the wired version, but would be nice to offer a wireless version of the keyboard with the numeric keypad as well.

Get your hands on it and you'll know that I'm not babbling. I would expect an upgrade, though, after 4 years.

The keyboard is nice and most importanly is very compact. No questions - I love it. It has one downside: power switch. I mean you can turn it off and on, but the stupid keyboard turning on by itself while I am carrying it my backpack on the way to school, and the most terrible thing it turns Itunes on, so I walk like a boombox (tanks God Ipads are not that loud) till I notice.

Got some water on the space bar and now the space bar does;nt work and there is no way to get into the keyboard to clean it.
No way to fix it, unless Apple sends me some instructions; which I doubt.
Otherwise it is a good piece of equipment.

I have found this keyboard great in all aspects except one, why isn't there an option for one with a numeric keypad like the full sized wired one?

Either that or Apple should 'Supply' an overlay for the trackpad instead of the over priced mobius thing, really, $40 bucks for a simple programme and a sticker.

Apple, make a bluetooth Numeric keypad, you could make one with a switch that allows it to double as a trackpad and have all the profits yourself.

Other than that, love the keyboard, I hated it at first because i'm a touch typist, but i've since gotten used to it and just keep a set of spare Nimh's in the drawer for all my apple devices.

I've had my keyboard for two years and I have never had any issues with it, ever. It pairs easily and flawlessly with my Macbook Pro, my iPad 2, and my iPhone 4S. This only thing that is missing is a numeric keypad. I hate having to use the number row above the keys. In addition, the keys are not backlit. Other than that, I have no complaints.

Bought this about a day or two after purchasing my 3rd gen iPad because I like my wrists in their current, RSI-free state. Tactile feel is good and it's easy to carry around (I got an Incase origami workstation/keyboard cover). So far, so good.

My favorite feature: the shallow, well-spaced keys make this thing really easy to clean. It's ideal for dog and cat owners, especially if you use the iPad in bed. Just blow on the keyboard and the hair is gone. This also applies to crumbs if you tend to eat at your desk. I wish I could say that about my full-size Dell and Apple keyboards at work!

Only complaints: Having bluetooth enabled all day does drain the iPad battery. When I'm at work, I've just learned to leave BT off until I need to use the keyboard. Not an ideal fix, but it works.

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!

This keyboard is good but needs more iPad functions. It seems like auto capitalization of the first letter in a new word does not happen when using the keyboard. Ability to switch apps would be great. Also things like being able to turn the font bold or underlined or italicized in Pages by using the keyboard would be good. esc key to exit apps. I'm sure there are more suggestions but these are mine. I also use this for my Windows 7 PC and it works good.

Overall I like it.

A great keyboard, and as others have noted, really improves one's typing accuracy.

My only issue is with the lack of a few critical keys--like a control key on the right side of the keyboard, and page up, page down, home keys. While there are key combinations that achieve the same effects, some are clumsy.

(I do not miss the number pad--and I do a LOT of numeric analysis--but the truth is, typing numbers is more accurate when done the "old fashioned" way with the number keys on the main keyboard).
