5.0 out of 5 stars Big Surprise, February 4, 2009

By	J. Gohm (Prescott, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered this keyboard and was notified by Amazon that its delivery would be delayed. I went back to review the keyboard again to see if I wanted to cancel or continue the order. After reading a couple of bad reviews I almost cancelled the order. I had previously purchased and returned the Matias Tactial Pro keyboard which truly was unacceptable, and was about ready to forgo anymore mail order keyboard purchases. Fortunately I decided to continue the delivery and try this keyboard for myself. This is by far the best keyboard I have ever used. I have found none of the issues that previous contributers have cited. The F keys are set up in a logical and useful order that all but the most contrarian users would object to. I have been a Mac user for 20 plus years and find that this keyboard lends itself to all everyday requirements and is flexible enough to allow for customization when special requirements are necessary. Also the tactile response is first class.

4.0 out of 5 stars USB keyboard with batteries, February 7, 2009

By	E. Ramsey - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Oops, I should have researched this product more thoroughly. I am a happy user of the Logitech diNovo Edge Rechargeable Bluetooth Keyboard for Mac at work and thought that this was pretty much the same thing except for having a numeric keypad rather than the built-in mouse trackpad. So I got it for home. Nope, this is a non-rechargeable USB wireless keyboard that operates on four AAA batteries. Moreover, it appears to need the supplied Logitech driver software to make even the most basic function keys operational, such as the Eject key. So I'm returning it and will get the diNovo Edge for Mac instead (the Eject key works without the drive software on that keyboard).

I used the keyboard briefly before returning it. The keys are just as pleasant for typing as they are on the diNovo Edge--good feel and travel. The supplied USB wireless dongle is very small, which is useful. So for someone who wants a wireless USB keyboard for the Mac and is willing to install the driver software, this would be a very nice product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Keyboard, Minor Issues, May 1, 2009

By	Mike (NJ) - See all my reviews

This is a great looking and performing keyboard that matches my aluminum iMac beautifully.

Pros
+the best keyboard I have used in terms of typing comfort...it feels easier to type on this keyboard than almost every other keyboard I have ever used.
+wireless works very well, and usb transceiver is very small
+battery life > it comes with batteries and they claim it lasts three years. If it lasts 1/5 of that timeframe I will be happy.
+design > love the fact it matches the iMac and it doesn't have a large footprint on the desk which is nice as well.
+works well with the aluminum iMac 20 and I haven't experienced any technical issues.

Cons
- "Silent Keys" >> non-existent in my opinion. In the item's description, it claims the keys are "silent" using a patented technology. While they are quiet, I find them to be far from silent. Perhaps I type hard, but I can definitely hear the keys and the space bar. Despite this though, I find this to be a very comfortable keyboard and can live with the noise. If you are looking for a truly silent keyboard, than I beleive this is definitely not for you.
-reprogramming keys >> while this is definitely a negative aspect, I do not have a desire to reprogram the function keys and this really didn't impact my review too much.
-price > At $84.99, it is definitely expensive compared to the many alternatives on the market including the OEM Apple keyboard. If you are in desperate need of a keyboard for your Mac, this is the way to go, but for a replacement of the OEM keyboard, I am not sure if there is enough value in justifying spending the $85...to each is own though!

OVERALL,
I highly recommend this keyboard if you do not want to reprogram the function keys, but are looking for a great functioning, wireless keyboard that works well with your Mac and complements its pleasing design. As I said before, despite it being relatively quiet, if you are looking for a truly silent keyboard, than I don't believe this is the correct product for you.
