Customer Review: very pleasant to use
Summary: 5 Stars
sometimes the best results happen by accident. in my case, the accident was spilling a drink in my old g5's keyboard, which killed it and put me into the market for a new one. after a little shopping around, i settled on the new bluetooth wireless keyboard from apple...which nobody has in stock yet. much as i didn't want to buy this wired keyboard just to use it for a month while waiting for the wireless, i couldn't let my mac sit idle for that time either. oh well, i bit the bullet and bought it. just as well, it's the best keyboard i've owned in 25 years of computer ownership. yes, it is that good. the aluminum body gives it a nice, stiff feel. it's very quiet, but there's good feedback so you know when you've hit a key. the thinness and flatter keys put the keyboard at a good angle for typing, so my hands don't get tired. and eventually it will make for an excellent full sized portable keyboard for the kids' laptop. because i still want that wireless keyboard for my own use, now more than ever. :)
i've also had no problems using it with os x 10.3.9, even though it "requires" os x 10.4.10.
Customer Review: I love this keyboard!!!

First off this review is from a pc owner. I dont have alot of experience with Apple products. I went to the Apple store hoping to purchase an Apple TV. While the salesperson was getting my Apple TV I roamed the store and noticed this keyboard hooked up to all the Apple computers. I played around with one and found at first it was pretty difficult to get comfortable using the keyboard. Then after getting the hang of it I loved it!! The keys are so easy on the fingers and the way the keyboard is low and flat on your desk makes for a better typing experience.
I have not had any problems with the keys like the previous reviewer. They all work just fine. Since I am on a pc I asked the salesperson if it would work with a PC and he said it should but was not sure. Some of the function buttons will not work on a pc but that is a small trade off for this great keyboard. The usb ports will also not work on my pc. I tried hooking up my ipod touch and they just dont have enough power.
Simply put this is a great keyboard and I consider it a must buy if you are in the market for a new one.
Customer Review: Excellent feel

It's all about the click. I've been using IBM keyboard for a long time because I like the feel of it's sureness clicks. This Apple keyboard feels like combination of IBM keyboard and notebook keyboard. The good thing is it less noisy than regular cube keys keyboards and the assurance of click is superb.
The low profile and minimalist design really help to open the area of this keyboard, so you'll find some areas that are intimidating and less useful on regular keyboard such page up/page down, home/end and delete become more exposed and useful in this keyboard.
The key's surface is totally flat proves that you don't need the concave surface for you finger to stick on it but the material has more frictions than regular keyboards helps fingers on the right place.
Another thing is, this keyboard doesn't have numlock button which first I found a little annoying since I usually use the keypad number buttons but the arrow keypad is normally accessible and easy to use. Well it's minimalist so why make redundant things. Additional f13 - f19 is functional too.
Customer Review: A perfect addition!

First off, I have a Macbook. I use it for everything from photo editing, graphic design to word processing. Well, I accidentally spilled some liquid on it and despite my best efforts, several of the keys became useless. I plan on having the keyboard replaced, but I can't afford $250+ to have it fixed just yet. So I purchased this keyboard as a cheaper and temporary solution to my problems and let me tell you, it hasn't disappointed me. Just plug it in and it's ready to go. The additional USB ports are a much welcome addition as well. My Macbook only has two USB ports, so it's nice to have some extras, just in case. The keyboard is very quiet for typing, except for the space bar. If I press it on both sides, it isn't AS loud, but that just slows down my typing. Not really a big deal, but I thought it worth mentioning. It's very thin (as the images showed) and lightweight. It should prove easy enough to pack up and take with me as well.
So all in all, definitely worth the purchase. If you need or want a new external keyboard, I'd definitely give this one a try.
Customer Review: BEST. KEYBOARD. EVER.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a PC user my entire life. Never thought much about which type of keyboard I ever used. I work a tech job now and was required to use the iMac which had this exact keyboard with it. At first I was dubious about this keyboard. It didn't look all that pretty and I thought I'd miss the tactic nature of my home keyboard. My job requires I type all day every day at a break neck pace. I was surprised at how much I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD. My fingers don't press buttons so much as they roll over them. I probably type faster than ever using this keyboard. I also love how thin it is. Easy to to store up under the iMac to provide desk space back. Besides being attached to this keyboard at work I had to get one for home. I'm also a writer in my space time and I wouldn't do without this keyboard. I know they have a smaller version but I prefer this one. I like having the number pad and forward delete. Though I don't usually nerd out to tech I would simply say that this is the perfect keyboard and if you're considering it all, pull the trigger and get it immediately.
