Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple Wireless Keyboard (M9270LL/A)Customer Review: One of the best keyboards I've ever used... Summary: 5 Stars
And I've used a LOT in my day. The tactile feel of the keyboard is only second to the original IBM PC/XT keyboards (Model M) that had the wonderful buckling springs. They were however quite loud. Still, this keyboard has a wonderful charm all of its own and in some ways I am reminded of my days using various UNIX/VMS terminals. It is a vague feeling of familiarity, even though I only recently bought my first OS X Macintosh.
Anyway, back to the keyboard. I primarily got this because I got a 17" MacBook Pro, and I consider it's keyboard layout one of the only deficiencies in that laptop. 95% of that keyboard is wonderful, but I am a programmer and I just absolutely NEED to have page up/page down/end/home as ACTUAL keys, and not as a Function Key modifier. So I got the wireless keyboard because it would fit into my backpack along with the MBP. I take it and the wireless mouse to work every day. This thing is very compact and well put together for a full sized keyboard. I love it.
The bluetooth module works wonderfully on this keyboard, and I've never had a pairing issue (unlike the mouse which I have to rediscover every time I turn it back on). It looks wonderful sitting on my desk as well. I know, looks aren't everything... but there's a certain wonderful charm to sitting down at my machine and just seeing everything "click" together.
After using various Microsoft wireless keyboards with their USB transmitters, the world of Bluetooth and the Mac is a much better experience. I can take this keyboard two rooms over and still be able to type. Try that with other wireless/non Bluetooth keyboards!
There is no lag, and I haven't run into any "sticky" keys, or missed characters. I've had it for a month now so can't testify as to the battery life.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this product to anyone with a Mac and a need for a wireless keyboard. Your keyboard is one of the major productivity enhancers when working on a computer (if you type a significant amount anyway). Don't skimp on it, no matter what brand or type you get.
