enjoy🙂
 
I have a nearly identical setup. 24" Dell monitor, 12" Powebook and an iPhone. I think i need to get one of the new keyboards. I used to like the old keyboard, but I found i can type much faster with the powerbooks board.

Have you noticed an increase in speed on the new ones?

Sick. Yeah, I want a Macbook Pro though.. oh well...


yeah, the old keyboards were really sticky on typing. the new ones are a lot like typing on the powerbook or more like a macbook..
which I love, because I type a lot faster on them.

yeah, I like using it so far. I have the wired one too, so I'm already used to typing on that. It's just a little awkward that there is no numpad, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
 
nice comparison pictures. Helped me sway a little more towards buying it. Been a little hesitate after seeing some other pictures. Wish they had the full size option as well.
 
does the wireless one version have 2 usb ports?

if not i might as well say goodbye now 🙁
unless i get a usb hub.. but still 😉

The wireless KB is meant to be wireless, no USB ports. 🙂

BTW, thanks for the comparison pics. I definitely want one now 🙁
 
The first picture really shows how tiny and compact the keyboard is. I'm used to seeing a keyboard hog most of the desk space.

Looks so neat and tidy - I want one !
 
has anyone seen the wireless keyboard in apple retail stores today?

i have the 100 dollar iphone credit burning a hole in my pocket.

Not in the Boston area, called most of the stores around here.. nada. I have a hole burning as well.
 
I like your big screen more than that tiny keyboard!

What sort of tactile touch does the keyboard have? Is it like the MacBook or softer or harder?

Does it click?
 
I dunno now, no numpad...I like my Macbook pro and deal with it because well, it's a portable. But when I'm at my desktop, I want the full size keyboard. I was leaning towards the new wireless keyboard, but think I'm going with the new wired one now.

This is the KB you use away from your desk, that's why it's so small.

How often are you at home using your desktop computer but not sitting at your desk?

All the time for me. One of my macbooks is hooked up to a monitor in my bedroom which is in a wallunit. I just pull up my recliner chair when I want to use it. The keyboard is on my lap. I hate the big clunky heavy mac keyboard that I have now. I can't wait to get this new keyboard it will be heaven to me :apple:
