When the package arrives you can feel the quality. FEEL it.

I loved this keyboard dearly. I used it for about a year daily at work, hours and hours.

However, the finish where my hands rest slowly began to discolor. Human sweat is nasty stuff, but I paid 130 bucks for a freaking keyboard. It should be the best of the best.

I still love it. But I love the memory of the day it came out the box.

-Edit: Gave it away for free since the finish became so bad.

Looks cool, VERY well built, but the orange letters on the black keys are impossible to see. Wish it was backlit, I returned it.

I recently bought a new "aluminum" iMac and it came with the new Apple slimline keyboard. I tried to like it ... really, but it hurt the tips of my fingers and I just couldn't get used to it. I'm a touch typist and I made repeated annoying mistakes due to the radically different feel.

I went to the store looking for a replacement and found the moshi. Mine is a big black slab of aluminum and it feels very sturdy and nicely designed (very Apple Computer like) and the feel so far is very good. I can type quickly and accurately on it and it looks nice, even in black, sitting next to my new iMac.

There is no software to install, and I didn't have any problems with applications or the OS (even Windows XP under Parallels) when I plugged it in. Some of the keys are oddly placed (like the OSX media keys) but I got used to it pretty quickly. The feel is more like a very good laptop keyboard with a little more soft resistence like a regular keyboard.

Hopefully it will last for me, but I have to say so far I'm very satisfied.
