1 out of 5 stars A pretty but worthless toy!   December 26, 2008

This is a very pretty little keyboard. I have had mine for quite awhile now. I hate it!

The arrow keys, which I use often, are awkwardly placed. Other useful keys are missing entirely. The keyboard has such a low profile, that I have to place a 1/2 inch thick book under it, if I want to type with any kind of speed!

I'm here today to buy a real keyboard!



1 out of 5 stars Not worth it....   December 26, 2008

The keyboard offers nothing. Unless you need a lot less space on your desk ... there are no keys on it that you use on a regular basis (key pad, delete key, page up, page down) ... so unless you REALLY need more space (i.e. 5 inches) there is no need in buying it. The keyboard itself, however, does work well. I like the layout of the keys and the quietness of it, but in general I would much rather have those keys that I use on a daily (hourly) basis.

a nice small compact keyboard that travels well and will fit nicely into a laptop bag. love the feel of the keys and the blu tooth works perfectly, no problems at all



2 out of 5 stars Nice, but a battery compartment defect is rampant   December 9, 2008

I bought this keyboard less than 8 months ago. It's a nice keyboard--small desktop footprint, decent battery life, keys are fine if you like this style of key.

But there's a common problem with these keyboards. If you search Google or Apple's support forums you'll find hundreds or thousands of people with a problem that causes the keyboard to cease operation. Folks have reported getting a "no questions asked replacement" from Apple Stores. I haven't tried this yet but plan to shortly.

Apparently there's some kind of problem with the battery compartment. Mine no longer turns on. I've tried about 20 brand new batteries of various manufacturers (all ones you'd recognize). Some folks have suggested something about the compartment causes electrical contact to wear out over time.

So until I get around to going to the Apple store and paying for parking at the mall, I have a keyboard that doesn't work--I've owned plenty of cheaper wireless keyboards from Logitech and Microsoft; never had this kind of problem. Why can't Apple use a regular battery compartment?

But as long as it works, it _is_ a nice piece of hardware. It just sucks when it ceases operation.
