 Good for a long time, then get out the DIY guides March 5, 2010
Alwin (San Diego County, CA, USA)
This was quiet, comfortable, easy to use for the longest time. Very little cleaning other than key polishing and light dusting of the aluminum. Then the B key started sticking, even though it was one of the lesser-used keys. I followed the DIY guides I found on the internet, popped the key off, blasted the well with compressed air, picked out the grit, washed the plastic, dried it, and put it back in. Only after repeated cleanings did it stop sticking.
Now I'm just waiting in dread for more sticky keys.
 Top Quality, Smooth & Quiet March 4, 2010
techsavvy (toodanghot USA)
I've tried several "after market" keyboards, including so-called heavy duty "Gamers" models. They have all fallen short on quality. Especially when the letters wear off!...
This Apple keyboard is excellent. Not expensive, but you can tell that Apple put the quality in there. Though shallow key throw, you get good feedback, even with it's silence. The only thing that makes a real sound is the space key. Not a bother, but it stands out from the silence of the other keys. nice wide spacing for big fat fingers for us guys.
Excellent Apple quality, and looks could not be better. Goes great with anything! I'm very happy I finally got this model. It will last for years.
You won't be disappointed if you get one!
 No cushion behind keys February 28, 2010

Apple may be good at making fast operating systems, but they are horrible when it comes to ergonomics. The keys on this keyboard have no cushion behind them. Hit them too hard and your finger will feel the vibration which feels like a shock. Hit it the wrong way, and your finger will actually hurt. The keyboard Apple used to make with the thicker keys was at least more comfortable than this. Apple needs to go back to the drawing board, and maybe hire some people from Logitech or Microsoft to help them make comfortable products.
Beautiful Keyboard - Improves Writing February 25, 2010
Edwin B. Arnaudin (Brevard, NC United States)
I got the Apple Keyboard to replace the original keyboard from my 2002 iMac. Those keys had yellowed to an embarrassing degree and more eyelashes, bugs, and crumbs than I'd care to admit had fallen through the keys and littered the transparent underside. I wanted a new keyboard so that I could use the iMac as a new-school typewriter to aid my fiction writing. With an internet connection, I'm prone to distractions, but the iMac removes that problem and the whole set up, including the new keyboard, allows me to write better.
Even though I haven't updated the iMac's OS since 2006 (10.4.7), the keyboard works wonderfully. I love its slim design and the spaces between each key (like my 2006 MacBook). It looks great with a computer nearly 8 years its senior and is a joy to use. It's also much easier to clean and will stay looking suave for years to come.
I recommend it with no regrets.
Good Keyboard, No stand alone Windows driver February 21, 2010
H. Webber (Southeast, KS United States)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this keyboard but had to return it. Typed paragraphs on it at store, and has a wonderful feel, so purchased it for my work computer. But, Apple has not released a stand alone windows driver for this keyboard, forcing you instead to install the virtual machine drivers (keyboard is one of them). For this reason it was returned. It also lacks a "break" key that most people rarely use but as a programmer I needed. They are apparently mapped to other key combination's in the driver. Not ideal, but would have lived with it.
