1. Great keyboard to match my new mac mini paired with a Dell ST2210 monitor. The keyboard has a small form factor and looks great. The Bluetooth setup was a breeze. After using the keyboard for about a week I noticed a small dent above the F3 key, it was hard to see but I could feel it. I called Amazon on a Friday afternoon and had a replacement keyboard on my desk by Monday afternoon. Great service.

2. This keyboard is a perfect match for my iPad. Since I have been using this thing I hardly take my Mack pro 17 inch with me when I travel. This really makes the iPad feel more like a little laptop.

3. Lightweight. Coolest design ever. Works even when far from the computer. I use it specially because I have my Mac mini plugged on my TV. It’s awesome to not leave the comfy couch to change settings!

4. I love my first Apple but I didn’t like this keyboard too much. I went ahead and order the Logitech dinovo keyboard and found it a lot better than this keyboard.

   For example, there is no numberic keypad and that is one thing I was missing about my PC. Many other small things that go a long way in typing and feeling the need to be typing. I felt myself avoiding typing with the older keyboard though it was delightful to look at, I felt the keystrokes slightly numb and dead. Another reason for return, I’m a fast typer who was missing the room to execute keystrokes slightly better and more accurately.

5. I had one of these keyboards and it was ok for using when on the road with a portable device. The keys weren’t a great feel and it’s small and cramped but better than using a touch screen to type with. However, and this is a very very big issue, the batteries get stuck inside the barrel where you put them. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t notice this until the keyboard was over a year old as I hadn’t used it very much but absolutely nothing would induce those batteries to come out of there. The opening is extremely tight so unless you got lucky and your batteries are a little slimmer than mine were (just standard Duracells), you’re going to find that they won’t come out. At all. Everything was tried but nothing worked. You can’t push them through from the other side because of course there’s no opening. You can’t shake them out, they’re in there too snug. So if you bought one of these already, I suggest you try to remove the batteries before your warranty is up or you’re going to be left with a paperweight.
