My fingers love it. Effortless to type on and very accurate. I thought I would miss the numeric keyboard, but I haven't. I have…Read more an iPhone app to compensate should the need arise. Only problem is the batteries, which run out eventually. Hardly a big deal though.

At first thought was tiny, didn't seem much different to a laptop keyboard, and wondered if I'd miss the number keys. I don't. One…Read more of the easiest keyboards I've ever typed on, and the size just makes it look amazing on the desk. Keys have a great feel to them which makes it very easy to type compared to normal desktop keyboards which have very raised keys. Function keys are also very useful.

Brilliant!

At first I was a it hesitant, as it thought it would be a cramped to type on due to its small size, this is clearly not the case. …Read moreI purchased this keyboard along with the Wireless Mighty Mouse and they both work a dream despite the numerous comments about how they don't work well together.
On the down side, I feel that Apple could have included a numeric keypad in the product, along with an auto sleep function to conserve battery power, hence the four stars!
Overall, I find that both these products work a dream. they look great and work a great! Totally recommend them!(11 of 11 people found this review useful)

Brilliant but...

Having use one now for a couple of weeks it's proving easy to use and fast - going back to a conventional wireless keyboard is rem…Read morearkably clunky. The first few days it was a little disconcerting - like typing on bubble wrap - but you quickly adapt to it and your fingers - freed from the long pressing motion - fly.
The but? Obviously the small form factor. I can live without the numeric keypad (though would have preferred one) but it is the absence of a proper delete key that I find infuriating. It's surprising how much you come to use that one!(866 of 1216 people found this review useful)

A keyboard for people who want desk space!
Written by CB from CIRENCESTER

Yes, it really is tiny, though it looks smaller than it really is - its actually the exact same size as the old Wireless Keyboa…Read morerd minus its numeric keypad and navigation key sections. This new KB is really just a laptop keypad without the laptop underneath it, and so suffers all the restrictions of a laptop keypad, especially a limited number of keys. However, the key size, key travel and feel are all just fine, and the aluminium sheet construction is solid and robust - there's no flexing at all, and it's really nice to use.
For me, it's great because it seems to free up tonnes of desk space, but it's not for everyone. Especially people who want a numeric keypad, page-up/page-down keys, top/bottom keys or a proper Delete key (as opposed to a backspace key - if you run Windows under Parallels you'll have trouble with the CTL+ALT+DEL login sequence. Hint: Use the Parallels Actions / Send Keys menu!).
It will also play with your head and your self-esteem if you think your keyboard ought to match the size and grandeur of your Apple Cinema Display , Mac Pro or your ego, but if you've a MacBook or a MacMini this will suit you just fine and get you lots of attention wherever you use it.(562 of 917 people found this review useful)
