 capslock key sometimes does not indicate the correct positionOct 31, 2009
This is the old version, which requires three AA batteries. The new one introduced on 10/20/09 uses only two AA batteries.
This keyboard is a good companion if your MacBook Pro (pre-unibody) is causing pains in your neck.
MacBook Pro (pre 10/14/2008) has a serious problem: it does not tilt back far enough. As a result, tall users or individuals with long torsos would have to raise the computer to a comfortable level to view the screen. This is when the wireless keyboard comes in handy. The small footprint--at the expense of removed numeric keypad--allows you to move the mouse closer to the keyboard, which alleviates finger/wrist/shoulder pains.
Those who don't mind having a USB cable dangling around may choose the USB version, which is identical except the addition of two USB ports on both sides/below the keyboard.
The only complaint I have is that the capslock key sometimes glow and sometimes does not. Its annoying. The only way to find out whether the caps are locks is through typing.
 Near PerfectionOct 14, 2009
I would have said perfect, but I don't believe in perfection. I bought this to use with my MiniMac and it is terrific. Right out of the box it worked (didn't need to set it up. It's sleek and looks great. Will definitely buy another when I get my second mini mac :) If you need a keyboard for a mac, just get this one - don't waste time laboring over other choices like I did.
Great Keyboard but some draw backsOct 06, 2009
This is a great keyboard and I have to say that it has recieved its fair share of use. I bought it to pair with my MacBook pro because the edge on it is somewhat pointed and uncomfortable (I have to deal with it all day being class for Law School). It does what it is supposed to and has had no problems (used now for 2 months):
Pros:
-Great battery life (as of the typing of this, the keyboard is at 75% life after two months of use at about 8 hours a day)
-Looks great
-Connection is great (Note should be made that it is used on a MacBook Pro so I have yet to use it on my Windows PC bluetooth)
-Set up was easy (again it is on a Apple so the pairing is very simple with nothing to download)
-Very Responsive (very little lag except when it is used after some time off, but expected b/c it will shut off to conserve power)
Cons:
-The low profile is somewhat difficult to get use to (the space bar is nearly level with the surface you are typing on)
-White Keys begin to show dirt very easily (can be cleaned using water or rubbing alcohol)
Final note that I must say is that there are a lot gripes online due to the lack of the number pad, which is true but one knows that from the start from the picture. If you are buying this for strictly typing purposes, that is what it is for (minimalist), if you need a key pad or have difficulty typing on a low profile, then look for another bluetooth keyboard.
Apple fantastic as usualOct 01, 2009
Had a corded Apple keyboard before - spilt some coffee on it and part of it stopped working. This new one works flawlessly, a breeze to set up and looks really great.
Only issue I had was having to play with bluetooth settings to download photos from my phone after installing the keyboard - it was minor and works just fine now. On the corded keyboard some of the function keys never seemed to work - I had to use the laptop keyboard to turn speaker volume up or down - on the new one they all work.
Great KeyboardSep 23, 2009
I really like this keyboard. It is nice and small but comfortable enough to type. The range of the bluetooth is great. I can sit on the couch ~15 feet away and control my mac mini. I have been using the keyboard daily for over a month and the battery life shows 90%. I love the short cut keys for volume, cd, play, pause, and skip. Its like having a apple remote and keyboard all in one. I would highly recommened this keyboard to any one who would like a wireless keyboard and like usual Amazon had the best price.
