Advantages: Comfortable to type on, compact, stylish, has USB ports, cheap
Disadvantages: USB ports only 1.1, shows up dirt more than black keyboards

...display (which has USB ports) which saves on cable clutter. If you want to connect the keyboard to the base unit (such as a Power Mac or Mac Pro) or use a non-Apple monitor, then you can use the USB extension lead. The extension lead has a notch to use with only Apple keyboards because it is a USB 1.1 device. Usage -------------------- The keyboard is very nice to type on. Pressing a key has a nice firm feel and good amount of travel. Instead of having flip down legs which easily get broken, the keyboard is moulded with a nice tilt and is very comfortable to type on. There are also volume up/down/mute and disc eject keys. There are two USB 1.1 ports on the back of the keyboard which is very convenient for low power devices such as mice, bluetooth donges etc. They are not designed for USB hard drives etc. I experimented by plugging...

Advantages: Well made with a solid feel, Keys are easy to type
Disadvantages: Not much really apart from the lack of support for Windows OS

...Many people moan that apple keyboards are harder to clean... That's only because they happen to be white (instead of black). You just tend to notice dirt build-up it more, especially with the transparent sides! It has a nice good quality heavy feel to it unlike a lot of other flimsy keyboards out there!

Advantages: Typical Apple sense of style, very comfortable
Disadvantages: Gets dirty easily, no 'hash' key

...white, and this is where the Apple Pro Keyboard comes in. --> WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? Well, the Apple Pro Keyboard is distinctive for its sleek lines and gently curved base, which tilts all the keys on the top row slightly further forward than the ones at the bottom. The base is completely clear and the keys and plastic mounts are white, which gives it a really cool, clean feel. There are no multimedia keys, scrolly wheels or other extra features that you might find on PC keyboards, apart from the standard Apple volume keys. Helpfully it has both £ and Euro symbols, but unfortunately no # (hash, or poundsign to the Americans). This can be a pain when programming HTML, as I often have to switch from British to USA keyboard layouts just to enter the hash sign. --> ANY OTHER FEATURES? The keyboard also has two USB ports on the back... Read review
