I love it. I bought it because it looks so darn attractive and comfortable, but wasn't sure if I'd like typing on it (who cares? It'd look great on my desk!). But it has surpassed my expectations. Now I can hear my music/TV while typing. It seems to help me type faster and more accurately now that I don't have to press so hard, just tap the buttons. Amazing design. Incredible! I love it.

Then again i wan't expecting much Apple hasn't got a very good track record with their keyboards. Save yourself the pain go buy a decent Logitech and spray it white if you have to.

I have already had a couple keys pop off and our imac is less than a year old.

Because I use a Wacom tablet (flush w/the table), I often push the keyboard up, out of the way. Would have liked the option to move the chord to one side.

I had a better keyboard on my zx-81. yeah it looks cool - but that is it. maybe its because I am not a touch typist but I find this keyboard horrible to use. Typically for the mac, if you don't like this keyboard there are no alternatives available. using a windows keyboard is annoying coz all the modifier keys are labeled wrong. this keyboard is bullshit. it has no tactile feedback whatsoever. like typing on a piece of paper.

I switched it out for cheapie, supposedly non compatible keyboard. Works great, except the function keys pick up some of the functions of the Mac keyboard and other functions not on the keyboard. No biggie. For touch, high speed typing, as in heavy word processing I found the keyboard an erogomatic nightmare. I switched it out for cheapie, supposedly non compatible keyboard.

As long as we're including a biometric scanner, FM radio, card reader, lamp, DC in, and an LCD, why not a wood-chipper, pez dispenser, and turkey baster? 95% of us want a keyboard that we can use to type things, and maybe plug a mouse, digital camera, or flash drive into. The other 5% are served by third party keyboard makers, for video editing inputs, fancy gaming setups, and scientific workstations. Apple's creation serves the masses quite well, and the lack of gadgetry serves to streamline the thing into the kind of high design that sets Apple apart from all other makers. Zahadum is crazy!

I am extremely relieved that you don't work for Apple hardware design or aesthetics - your concept is a messy, clunky and potentially ugly one. I never heard such a proposition... what a laugh.
