Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Possibly the best keyboard i have ever used Comment: i have been using this keyboard for just over a month now and i must say its the best keyboard i have ever used. been a windows user i have tried all sorts of keyboards , ranging from dell to logitech but this is the nicest feeling keyboard out of them all. First of the keys are nice to the touch and are well spaced away from each other so you dont get as as many typos as you would on a regular keyboard, this is important to me because i am constantly typing up notes and coursework, so i need a keyboard that suits my demanding needs. Secondly people have been saying because the keyboard is so slim that it will slide around when typing , this however is not the case as the keyboard has a surpassing amount of weight to it and is not going to move nowhere when your typing. Another cool feature is the two usb ports located on the keyboard , which will be fine to power a usb port or mouse , doesn't work to well with other usb devices like external hard drives though.I have found myself running out of usb ports on my usb hub and having the extra two on the keyboard is a godsend. Also people have been worried about getting bum wrists because of the keyboard isn't really that slanted , i can say this isn't such a bad case as i have done a whole essay taking a hour of constant typing and my wrists where find and only a little tired. Obviously the design is gorgeous and goes well in any working environment. The only problem i did have however is it seems hard to go back to a regular keyboard after this , i can take me a few minuets to get use to the regular keyboard after i have been using the apple keyboard for a long period of time,But i wouldn't say its a problem, just proving that the keyboard is far ahead of any rivals So to cap this review of i would give this keyboard a solid 5 out of 5 , i have not had one problem with it and i am still extremely happy with my purchase and would recommend to anyone , casual or power user Customer Rating: Summary: How do Apple do it? Comment: Once again, Apple take a fairly mundane piece of kit and transform into something that not only looks super-cool but works better than the everything else out there. Beautifully thin but heavy enough to be rock solid in use, supremely easy to type on and incredibly easy to clean, it has all the function buttons you need including perfectly placed iTunes controls plus a USB slot for your mouse to reduce the tangle of wires on your desk. It's also cheap. How do they do it? Customer Rating: Summary: A big improvement over the old Apple keyboard Comment: After four years doing okay with but not loving an old-style Apple keyboard that gave me too many unwanted double keystrokes, I decided to give this new keyboard a try. I am quite a fast typist, but I couldn't type quickly on the old keyboard, or at least not with any accuracy. So, now I've been using this new one for a while, and it sure feels like nothing else when you first use it. It's so low to the desk it feels weird, but it also feels rather nice for that reason. The keys are very short travel, which I thought might be uncomfortable, but they don't feel hard on the fingers and the pressure needed is just right for me. I can type super-fast and accurately, which is the main thing. The flat profile means that your fingers can really fly over the keys, which are very smooth. You almost expect your fingers to slip off them but it doesn't happen. I think short fingernails are going to be important to get the best out of it. It sits flat on your desk and is quite heavy, despite the slim profile. So, pretty much full marks for accuracy, feel and comfort, at least for me. I don't type all day long so I can't comment on how it feels for really extended use. It looks very cool too, and everybody who sees it immediately oohs and aahs. Is that a real keyboard? Well, it doesn't look like one but it is. It looks incredibly small on your desk, but that's just because there's essentially no surround, not just because it's so thin. Unlike the old Apple keyboard, the two USB ports built in to this wired version are in the sides rather than the rear. They're recessed a long way under the keyboard, which is good for things with wires (keeps the socket out of sight), but not so good (and maybe impossible) for bulkier things that plug straight into the socket with no trailing wire, like chubby memory sticks. The USB sockets, as ever, are unpowered of course, but they are USB 2.0. Fine for plugging in a mouse, but not your USB powered fridge... So it works really well, looks great, and it's cheap enough. It's so completely different in feel to the old Apple keyboard that you just might find this is a refreshing change. I did. Customer Rating: Summary: Almost Perfect. Very Hard To Fault Comment: I reviewed the previous Apple keyboard about a year ago, and found 4 significant problems with it. The good news is, it seems like Apple really do listen to their customers, since this new keyboard solves all of them. Well, almost. The previous Apple keyboard had 2 USB 1.0 ports. This new keyboard finally has 2 fully working USB 2.0 ports. The only catch is, they don't work properly if you connect the keyboard to a white iMac. You can't plug things like USB Flash Drives or Digital Cameras into either of the USB sockets without getting a "USB Low Power Notice" warning. However, connect the keyboard to an aluminium iMac, and both sockets work as intended. The previous Apple keyboard didn't have any dedicated buttons for controlling iTunes. While this new keyboard doesn't actually add any keys, it makes good use of the F1 to F12 keys with appropriate labels. The F7 key skips to the previous track and rewinds. The F8 key toggles between play and pause. The F9 key skips to the next track and fast forwards. The F10 key mutes the volume. The F11 key decreases the volume. The F12 key increases the volume. But wait, there's more. The F1 decreases the display brightness. The F2 increases the display brightness. The F3 key shows all windows using Expose. And the F4 calls up the Dashboard. There's also a dedicated key for ejecting CDs and DVDs; just make sure you hold it down, instead of tapping it. The previous Apple keyboard didn't have a wrist rest. Wrist rests are typically used to bring your wrists up to the height of the keyboard, because keyboards are so thick. Well, this new keyboard is SO thin that it doesn't actually need one. The top surface of the keyboard is elevated just 6mm off your desk at the front! So that's one less piece of junk cluttering up your desk. The previous Apple keyboard scratched very easily, because it was made partially from clear plastic. Well, this new keyboard is infinitely more durable, being made from a single sheet of aluminium. The previous keyboard also scratched your desk very easily, as it had metal studs as feet. This new keyboard has 4 rubber studs as feet, which will definitely NOT scratch your desk. Overall, I really think this keyboard is almost perfect. The design is excellent. It has such a clean, simple, elegant shape. It feels very solid and well engineered, yet is very easy to pick up and move around. Some people don't like the flat keys, but they make the keyboard very fast and effortless to type on, plus they make very little noise. In short, if you like and appreciate the keyboards on the MacBook and MacBook Air, you'll love this. The only thing I don't like about this new Apple keyboard is that it doesn't have Multi-Touch... yet. I really wish it had an integrated Multi-Touch trackpad, possibly replacing the numerical keypad, so that I could put my Microsoft mouse in the bin. Multi-Touch trackpads are such a joy to use. Having to move your hand over to a big plastic lump, that needs a special mat to run on, seems very old-fashioned and unnecessary. I want to move the pointer with my fingers, and control my computer using gestures. Hopefully, Apple will make this a reality some time within the next year. Customer Rating: Summary: Great! Comment: I bought this to use with my macbook when working on a desk and I was surprised how ergonomic it is and how solid it feels. I love the short key travel and can really recommend this as a well built and well thought out keyboard. I also think its good value for money. More Reviews
