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?
 
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.
 
Can't wait till I get mine this Saturday... I'll report back about the button. :cool:
 
Ok so I finally got the wireless keyboard.. So far so good. Oh, and the On/off button is solid on mine too.
