I just got this keyboard from the Apple store on Sunday and after two days use I'm pretty happy with it. It looks way cool, has a nice typing feel, and I even prefer the white keys to the black ones in my MacBook Pro.

Anyway, everything about this keyboard screams "professional" with the exception of the on/off switch on the right hand side. It feels loose if I rub my finger on it. Is this normal? If it is I think I could live with it but if it's not, I'd want to replace it.

Anyone with one of these care to comment?
 
Dunno but mine feels pretty solid. I would say as long as it functions correctly u should be good.
 
Mine feels the same - loose.

Never really thought anything of it since I never turn it off. 😀
 
Thanks to everyone that responded. I'm going to head over to the Apple Store tomorrow to see if there's a problem going on here.

I did think of something... when I asked about whether the power button was loose or not I didn't specify exactly what I meant. When I tap my power button it's pretty solid... but if I rub my finger over it... it feels just slightly loose. Ya know... like when trying to seat something that doesn't quite fit the size of the container.

I hope that makes things more clear.
 
...I had the BT keyboard for 2 weeks while I was trying to get it to work on a netbook I had running winXP but it wouldn't work... on my iMac it was great but I didn't need a BT keyboard on my stationary machine...back it went... and BTW it was solid...
 
i picked up one of these this weekend and am typing from it now, its absolutely fantastic. my power button is solid too.
 
Ok so I finally got the wireless keyboard.. So far so good. Oh, and the On/off button is solid on mine too.
