I'm looking for a good keyboard for a new mini. Basically, the previous generation Apple keyboard, but one that I can find new.

What's good?
 
sorry, maybe i am tired, but doesn't your question answer your own question? you are saying that you want the old style apple keyboard correct? so what am I missing?

at minimum, where can I find a new one. Or, where can I find one like that one, but currently being produced.
 
it is soo hard to find an old style keyboard new.. i went crazy for 2 weeks and could not find one for my mini... i finnally just bought a aluminum one:apple::apple:
 
Does the logitech one have the scissor type of spring? It's for my dad, and he hunt, pecks, and then pounds on the keyboard, and I want to be sure that it won't crap out on him...

I have one of the old full sized white keyboards, wireless, in literally perfect condition that I used maybe 10 times max. If a 100 is perfect condition, this is like a 99. I never used it because I found it too large and in the way, as opposed to the new aluminum one which I had been writing to apple about for almost two years and they hit it perfectly for my tastes. The point is I have one that I would be glad to sell to you if you live in the US. Send me a PM if you are interested. I'm not looking to make a killing here, just to get a fair price in light of the condition and demand. I put that out there because we on MR have a bad habit of only making an offer for pretty outrageously lowball figures.
 
I rather like the new aluminum Apple keyboards. I traded in the old Apple Bluetooth keyboard for the wired aluminum. I could never properly type on the old Bluetooth keyboard. Many times I would hit the key and it would not register. I find that I can type faster and more smoothly on the new aluminum one. But it's a personal preference, or course.
 
Thanks all who responded. I ended up just getting a PS/2 to USB adapter and will use an old IBM keyboard. Simple, effective, and $5.
