 Finally, a keyboard worthy of Apple September 16, 2007
Gene Leynes (Chicago, IL United States)

I just stared using this keyboard, but I already love it. It's a great update to the old Mac keyboard, and it's about time that Apple put some of their design smarts on their keyboard!
I thought it would be hard to get used to, but it isn't. I enjoyed using it right out of the box.
Pros:
+ The shallow keys lessen the movement and pressure required to type, which reduces fatigue and repetitive stress
+ Design leaves little room for dirt / debris to get into the keyboard
+ It's really quiet
+ It's really small, but the keys are full size and well spaced.
Cons:
+ As with all Macintosh keyboards, there are several important Windows buttons which are missing (such as the print screen, right click, break, scroll lock, and number lock buttons). I found a nice, free Windows utility to help with this problem though: SharpKeys. This utility allows you to remap your keys and use the extra function keys for the ones that are missing.
Someone at Apple must be a darn good typist. January 16, 2008

And that person must have had a lot to say about the design of the latest Apple keyboard.
At first glance, it looks like a touch typist's nightmare. It's too flat! The keys barely move! Where's the tactile feedback I need to get up to speed?
I scoffed when I first laid eyes upon it, but after a few minutes with one at an Apple retail store, I was hooked. While the profile of the keyboard is low and lean, the keys and their spacing are generous enough for big shovel hands like mine. The touch is reminiscent of a good electric typewriter, not mushy and uncertain like so many "quiet" keyboards. The keys can't bind against each other and the space between them prevents cruddy build-up.
Since it's also the stock keyboard for the new aluminum iMac, the keyboard provides USB 2.0 support for low power and externally powered devices when connected to other computers, including the white plastic iMac, any MacBook, the Mac mini and the Mac Pro. That won't be a big issue for most users who plug a mouse or trackball into the keyboard. You'll still need to plug your iPod directly into a USB port on the computer.
One more thing. . .
Apple has finally labeled the Command key with its name in addition to that mysterious cloverleaf symbol.
By far, the best keyboard I've ever used. September 16, 2007
Zachary Conlyn (MD United States)

This keyboard is totally different from any keyboard I've ever used before (except, of course, the MacBook keyboard, which is similar). The distance the keys travel is very short, and the effort required to depress them is likewise very small. So you can type faster with much less effort! It's amazing, compared to this, every other keyboard I've ever used is just a joke.
Not to mention the fact that this keyboard is very small and looks very elegant. The metal case feels very sturdy, too.
I couldn't be happier with this keyboard.
Outstanding Product May 19, 2008

I am a killer of keyboards. AND, since I use them so much, I'm also sensitive to good and bad keyboards.
As is my wont, I read the 1 star reviews first. I have to say that I cannot fathom what these people are talking about. The short throw on the key is what makes this thing so responsive. If one's fingers hurt from using a keyboard, you're using a manual typewriter or you're doing something dramatically WRONG. The short throw and silent response suit me just wonderfully, and the keys are MUCH better spaced than on my MacBook, the old Powerbooks or the Duo series.
I'm now into my fourth week with this thing. I'd estimate that I spend at least four hours a day ACTUALLY typing on the keyboard, no hunt and peck, but full volume documentation type writing.
I find, so far, the keyboard to be outstanding, my error rate dropped the instant I started using it (and did my "technical language") and my typing rates increased significantly.
In my experience so far, I can only give this keyboard my highest recommendation.
Once I've had it under my hands for 3-6 months, I'll update this review with the experiences to that date.
Great Keyboard.. for a PC July 27, 2010
Ian Monteilh (Los Angeles)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I havent read all of the customer reviews for this product, but I am sure that this will be one of only a few reviews for this keyboard as it relates to it being used on a Windows 7 based PC.
This keyboard is everything I hoped it would be and more. It is very compact, durable and sleek. But, it is also very comfortable and easy to use. Bottom line, this is probably the best keyboard I've ever purchased and used.
I did some research before I bought the keyboard, knowing that I wouldnt be using it on a Mac and wanted to figure out if there were any issues associated with compatibility/functionability issues with a Windows OS or non-Apple hardware. While I came across some good reading and some hybrid software that is supposed to fully unlock the keyboard and make all of the keys functional for a Windows-based PC, I was led to believe that the keyboard wouldnt work properly before windows completely finished its boot sequence or without the aid of that hybrid software. That information was wrong.
This keyboard works like a charm and didnt need any additional software downloads to make it fully functional with my computer. It works fine at the initial pc startup, so using it to set up your BIOS or when first installing windows isnt a problem.
I know that I am in the minority with it's use, but this keyboard is wonderful and will satisfy anyone looking to purchase one, whether or not its going to be used on a Mac. This probably isnt the review Apple had in mind when they made this product, but then again, maybe it is.
