Advantages: Good Multimedia Keys, Flat Desgin, Very Easy to Type. Disadvantages: Need's OS X Tiger with the latest update or higher, No good on Windows.
This AppleKeyboard has to be one of the best Apple have ever made. First of with the design, Taking after the Mac Book Keyboard style, it feels like typing on Laptop Keyboard. Typing is very quick and easy. The Keyboard is VERY thin and so it's very easy to move around but will stay where it's put.
The Keyboard also has multimedia Keys. These Keys work on OS X good and will work on Windows with Boot Camp Drivers. The Keyboard it self works Plug and Play in Windows but only the standard stuff work.
The Keyboard has Brightness, Exposé, Dashboard, Track skip, Pause/Play, Mute, Volume Keys and a Eject Button.
The Keyboard being so small does suffer from a small "L Enter Key" however I haven't found this to be a problem.
The Keyboard also comes with 2 USB 2.0 Ports on the Left and Right hand side. In trying these they haven ...
Advantages: Thin, Works on all computers (apple or windows) Disadvantages: Wired
Apple Wired Keyboard
I bought the Apple wired keyboard in the new belfast Apple store around two days ago! I bought the wired and wireless version, I also bought a Apple Wired and Wireless Mighty Mouse! I would rather have the wired keyboard than the wireless because the wired keyboard has two USB 2.0 slots on the top sides, the wireless does not have USB 2.0 slots it has the On and Off switch!
The good things about the Apple Wired Keyboard is that it works with any Apple or Windows computer. It has two USB 2.0 slots on the top of the keyboard. It works via USB, it is aluminium and very thin! It has Up, Down, Left, Right buttons. All the Number buttons 0 to 9 etc (the wireless only has the Letters no Up, Down, Left and Right etc buttons). It stays in one place on your desktop it does not slide around!
Overall
It is a very ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Apple keyboard
Advantages: Smooth keys, no places for dirt to reside, keys stay clean Disadvantages: USB port is underneath & bulky sticks will make the keyboard wobble slightly
Last March (2006) I bought an iMac, which came with the now old style keyboard. This keyboard was in a type of plastic 'container', which meant bits of food (lets face it, who doesn't eat at their computer!!), stray hairs (I'm balding and have a stressful job!) and dust. This 'container' really was that! All the dirt, grime, dust and others resided under the keys, and no matter how much compressed air spray I used or how many times I took the keys out to clean them, the keyboard always looked filty.
I have now upgraded from the previous keyboard, and the new one is very similar to the keyboard on the macbook...the new one is so smooth and easy to use, and was the best £30 I have spent!
Smooth keys, no room for dirt to gather, and sleek design!
Writing this review has been much easier, and as the keys are shallower they are ...
