Overview
The Apple Wireless Keyboard features an elegant, ultrathin anodized aluminum enclosure with low-profile keys that provide a crisp, responsive feel. It also has function keys for one-touch access to a variety of Mac features such as screen brightness, volume, eject, play/pause, fast-forward and rewind, Expose, and Dashboard. Its compact design fits on your lap or on even the most crowded desk. And its Bluetooth wireless technology lets you use it just about anywhere within 30 feet of your Mac.
The keyboard automatically powers down when you're not using it and turns on instantly as soon as you start typing. This intelligent power management means you'll get up to nine months of battery life (based on average usage patterns). It also has an on/off switch for when you're away from your computer for a long time.

Perfect Solution

I got this because I use my macbook as a "desktop" hooked up to the 24" LED display. I could not be happier with this product. It …Read morehooked up easy, it is easily portable for when I am traveling and want to set the laptop away from me, and just has a very sleek design.
If you are accustomed to the 10-key, try before you buy. I've only used a laptop keyboard for the past three years so I am just as fast with the row of numbers than a 10 key anymore so it doesn't phase me.(4 of 6 people found this review useful)

Nice but .....

You know, I just love my Macs and I am very fond of Apple as well, but they forget that a lot of people use their Macs for busines…Read mores. The lack of a 10 key on this keyboard has forced me to "plug in" my old keyboard. Too bad. I love the design.

Good keyboard (unless you write a lot of code)
Written by MS from Poughkeepsie

I received my wireless keyboard with my new iMac a couple of days ago and I have to say, it's a pretty good little keyboard. The …Read morekeys are appropriately sized and the "throw" is nice for typing e-mails and documents. For general work, it's a good choice.
As nice as the keyboard is, I have to say, it's not great for someone who writes a lot of code. Unlike its full-sized brother, this keyboard lacks a control key on the lower right side of the keyboard which makes it difficult to perform common key sequences like ^A, ^E, ^F, ^B, ^C, ^D, and ^X in a terminal _aw_window. The lack of home/end/page up/page down keys also complicates things a bit.
That said, I'm going to stick with it. The small footprint is just too convenient!
