Apple Keyboard with numeric keypad - British
Beautiful and better than wireless.

Firstly I have to complement apple on their service through various e-mails I received Apple decided that the keyboard should arri…Read moreve on or before 3rd of June (Wednesday) I ordered on Friday 29th of May and it came 1st of June Monday so I appreciate that.
The wired keyboard has the advantage of two extra USB ports and these are really useful in my latest Mac setup a really great product and far better value for money than the wireless keyboard(6 of 6 people found this review useful)

The evolution of keyboards

This is the top of the evolutionary scale for keyboards. I think I own about four of these keyboards for various machines and I wo…Read moren't use anything else now. After using one of these, any other keyboard will feel like typing on an old fashion typewriter where you had to hammer the keys down. As per usual, Apple leads on innovation, the rest will no doubt copy and produce inferior versions.

Work of art.

This keyboard is a work of art. Its near silent to type on, feels incredible, and works perfectley under Windows (if you would do …Read moresuch a thing!)
Also, their is only one problem. The caps lock is not very sensitive, and it becomes quite annoying as I use it instead of Shift.(8 of 9 people found this review useful)

Beautiful keyboard, not for everyone...
Written by AB from London

I bought this the morning it came on the site - my older apple keyboard whilst responsive was too clunky and heavy. and sitting 8 …Read morehours a day at it, I started to get tired wrists from the height.
Let's set aside the looks - they're fantastic. And the anodysed look closely matches my monitors and mac pro case - good job apple!
The response takes a very slight getting used to, but once you have it's far easier to type from and completely comfortable during long sessions.
This keyboard might still not be a replacement for everyone though:
the additional shortkeys at the top may be great for the casual user, but if like me you're a pro apps user, beware that such keys as the volume controls have been stuck onto the F keys. F keys that you may use constantly in Final Cut Pro.
You can turn the volume controls off when you use such apps, but personally I find it a little tricky to juggle between the two.
Just a word of warning if you are a heavy apps user, otherwise a very solid product that combines great looks with impressive functionality.

Fabulous, an absolute joy to use
Written by JJ from EASTLEIGH

This is the best keyboard I've ever used. A bit like the MacBook keyboard but more positive in use and the keys feel really solid…Read more and responsive. It's supermodel sized (wafer thin and no excess around the sides of the keyboard), quiet and is a full keyboard with a proper numeric keypad and cursor key cluster.
The one I'm typing on is connected to a MacBook Pro and I'm just about to go and order 2 more, one to keep at work to save me carrying this one around and another for my Mac Mini. It's just a shame the wireless version doesn't have all the keys otherwise I'd be ordering one of those too!
As for the comments about missing anti slip pads, the one that arrived here today has 4 rubber feet underneath and I haven't had a problem at all with it slipping around on my laminated desk here. All the keys work as expected as well.
Apple, Well done on a genius keyboard, I'm gonna miss it when I'm travelling with just the MacBook pro.(526 of 862 people found this review useful)
