    too small to use

    • Written by from Spruce Pine

    7 of 18 people found this useful

    I love all Apple products except this keyboard. Why save a very small amount of space by making a keyboard that's so difficult to use? The keys are compressed just enough that they are not in the spot your fingers are accustomed to, making it very difficult to type accurately. And, I have to add, that the small keyboard doesn't even look good with the larger monitors. Lose, lose.

    a little more apple thinking desired

    It is a cool keyboard, but it would be really great if it had even cooler functions like, you can assign a key to wakeup a specific computer, or switch to control different computers. There may be software made by a third party, but it would be great if it came as default.

    Why is APPLE still using the same tacky bland buttons?

    This keyboard is nice and small, but the buttons on it look tacky and cheap!
    Why couldn't they create a wireless keypad with silver metal buttons and throw in a numeric keypad with calculator button and volume control knob. I want to know when will Apple add usb ports to their wireless keypad, think of how cool it would be to hook up a flash drive to your keypad and send the info wirelessly to your computer.
    ANYWAYS THE KEYPAD IS TACKY AND ALMOST FEATURELESS, with the exception of the ON & OFF switch found on the side of the keypad.

    Not very easy to use

    If you're not a MAC user, then this keyboard will feel awkward and ergonomically uncomfortable. I like the look and the weight, but for getting out a lot of emails or typing, it was too difficult to use - lots of typos.

    I found the Microsoft 6000 Bluetooth keyboard to be the best - lightweight, thin, and with the classic Microsoft keyboard layout and feel.

    I love the keys on this keyboard. They have a perfect click and feel. But the keyboard feels cramped for everyday use.

    Got this with my iPad, which I love, but after couple days this keyboard becomes defunct. Whatever key I press, it continues endlessly.

    Batteries corroded and were near impossible to get out

    So I forgave the fact that it didn't include a numeric keypad. I also haven't been one of those users who had issues with the battery life. But I do have a serious issue with the fact that my keyboard stopped working on me tonight, and to my surprise, I opened it up to find my batteries corroded inside the tube and refused to come out. About an hour later I did eventually get them out, but not without a lot of trouble and elbow grease. These are the original Energizer Lithium batteries and I find it inexcusable that a user should have to endure this with stock batteries. Where's the QC these days!?

    No Ten-Key

    I do not like not having ten key on the right of the keyboard. Otherwise its a regular wireless keyboard.

    What a dumb design!

    The keyboard is so small that it is unstable on the desk unless you type with a feather touch. It lacks the number pad and function keys which are located in the deleted part of the keyboard, and generally looks like a cheesy toy on the desk in front of my new iMAC. I can't wait to get a cabled, full function keyboard .

    Too many issues

    • Written by from Edmonton

    Takes a while to wake up and connect with the computer, no number pad or page forward button, and too many batteries! If space is a concern, go ahead and get it. Otherwise, don't waste your money (again and again, with replacing batteries!).

    Disappointing again

    As with the Magic Mouse, beautiful in design but efficient tools are lacking.

    Number pad PUHLEASE !!!!

    Forcing a user to delete in a backward- caveman-style-only - PUHLEASE !!!

    After spending a significant amount of money in comparison to PCs because I am a Mac loyalist, I will now need to go backward - to a cable-connected keyboard and mouse, and spend more money so that I don't go BACKWARDs in efficiency - PUHLEASE !!! Apple, what's up with these deficiencies?

    But to speak to the beauty, and product feel, and design. Still loving it.

    This keyboard definitely looks cute but it can be very unpredictable - especially on the bootcamp side. Plus some of the keys are useless on the bootcamp side.

    hate the keyboard

    I hate this keyboard... I don't have big hands or anything, but the number of times my pinky hits the cap lock key instead of the A key really irritates me.... If the keyboard was like just 5% bigger I think it would work better.

    Wireless Keyboard

    This keyboard is strictly for people who hunt and peck. A real typist who goes at least 65 WPM can not type on this poor excuse for a keyboard. I wish I'd kept the old one on my eMac. I don't know if it would have worked, but I sure would like to have tried. I had to correct almost every word ib this messasge. Those two I will not.

    Not too good

    First, I could not turn on the keyboard because the on/off button was stuck. Then, I exchanged it for a new one that worked, though it disconnected occasionally. Then, I dropped the keyboard and since then the on/off button does not work again AND they won't exchange it because I dropped it.

    I got mines as a birthday gift October 2010, don't get me wrong it is great, fantastic battery life, works perfectly to this day however, there are two things that are wrong with it in my opinion:
    1- The keys get dirty really fast (white keys).
    2- It doesn't light-up like the original MacBook keyboard.
    Consider something else.
