Hey,
I just received my new Apple Wireless Keyboard (the aluminum) and I'm loving it so far. I'm just wondering what kind of hacks or tips that people would give to using it, and how you use it, etc.
Thanks!

I find pressing the keys in the order you want the characters to appear on the screen to be a good idea.
Make sure the batteries aren't flat?

Makes a great pillow for mid-afternoon nap breaks. The keys leave an awesome imprint on your face.

Perhaps you might want to clarify what you mean by hacks and tips. If you want to customize key assignments or something like that, you could try using Butler or through System Preferences. Hope that helps.

I don't know, just stuff to do with it.

I over clocked mine. I can't believe how fast I can type with it. Google for how to do it.

Try it with finger puppets for a challenge.

Thats all very well, but does anyone know what you can actually do with one?

To press the ctrl and eject button to shut down with one hand means you have big hands.

I've had sex on it. Afterwards, I found it easy to wipe off the brushed aluminium without leaving any evidence.

I bought two, they make awesome shoulder pads in a low-rent sci-fi sorta way; just don't attache them with duct-tape like I did the first time, I lost my armpit hair!

Really? Hmmm, that could be the reason I need to switch from MacBook to MBA, coz the dried crusted semen is a PITA to get off of the plastic.

I love whipping mine out. Everyone in the office always ogles at it and wants to touch it.
Shame it hardly ever gets any actual use. I do like stroking it sensuously however.

it does have limited functionality and a small size though compared to my wired version

I put speakers in mine and a little TV, complete with hydraulics and a big mofo seat.

You people have a brilliant sense of humour....I don't think it's amusing the OP much though.....oh well...back to hacking my KB.

I hacked it the first day I got it by rearranging all the letters on my keyboard.
