I love my Mac, but I am sick and tired of how Apple nickels and dimes you for every little thing.Constant connection problems, cheap springs in the keyboard so that the keys don't pop back nicely, gets dirty really, really fast, and since you can't take it apart you can't clean it out easily.Because of all that these need to be replaced every year or two, and these are just too damn expensive for something that needs to be replaced that much.Sorry Apple, I like your computers but I will get my accessories elsewhere.
Nevertheless of the sharp and futuristic design of aluminum apple thin-keyboards,this full scale old-school type keyboard is still needed by MIDI composer, Photoshop editors, writers.who depends on tons of shortcuts. Personally, I use more often than some of my midi controllers' button like PLAY, RECORD, FF, FW.Battery cycle is about 3 months even if it'd turned on always.Blutooth is connected very quickly in Leopard 10.5.6.And if you install SizzlingKeys (it's freeware), you can control itunes with function keys also.I might have to say it needs to be cleaned occasionally,because of tiny gaps between transparent cover and key caps.Yes, it's annoying sometimes, but it keeps my edit environment clean both.
Spill anything on this keyboard, and it breaks immediately.I've destroyed two by spilling small amounts of coffee on them. Even after immediate cleanup, the keyboards begin to freak out and start typing random characters, and since they cannot be taken apart for cleaning they become 100% useless.Save your money and get a cheap USB keyboard instead.These are junk,.
Like the clean configuration of the board and hardy feel of the keys. Works great, I was able to pair the keyboard up with my MacBook Pro in minutes. Nice unit.
The keyboard is nice and has the right side number keypad which thenewer apple keyboard donot.
