Sorry you hate your keyboard. It sure is a shame no other companies on earth make keyboards you could use with your Mac.

I have looked far and wide. And am still looking. I am very fussy with my keyboards. But on a sliding scale of fussiness with the good people on this forum, I am somewhere near the middle.
You know, like those who are overly concerned that the Space Grey of their iPhone does not QUITE match the Space Grey of their MacBook.
Yes, all of the new magic accessories work with pre 4.0 devices when connected over Lightning
I got the trackpad 2 yesterday, love it! While it looks and feels and function great, I wish it's smaller or at least narrower.
Taking up too much space, made using both trackpad and mouse feel quite tiring.
As I already have magic mouse, the new version with the ingenious design charging port not going to take any money from me.
The keyboard though, while it look nice but I still way prefer mechanical keyboard for typing experience.
I gotta hand it to apple tho, magic keyboard really has the best typing feel in the realm of laptop type of keyboard.

Does the Magic Trackpad 2 work with Boot Camp on its own? I know, no gestures with stock drivers, but is it at least working as mouse? Too sad the alternate ExtraMagic drivers for Windows got no support of the second-gen Magic Trackpad yet.
how are you going to lose productivity.the new mouse has quick charge you charge it for 2 minutes and you are good to go for 9 more hours.what you can't plug it in for 2 minutes to get 9 more hours?
DOes anyone have issues with their Magic Trackpad 2's right side having input lag? Only the very right side edge of my trackpad seems to lag when touched. Hopefully this is a software issue. Using El Capitan.
Does it do it if you plug it in? I've always found Bluetooth pointing devices to have annoying lag (nut the proprietary RF ones though). That wouldn't affect just one side though…
LOL! I need to checkout that keyboard! I saw it briefly and was impressed!
I am a big fan of the "cleanest shirt in the dirty laundry" philosophy
I really like trying new keyboards. Not without a reason, though, it's half interest and half trying to keep the wrist pain away. Anyway, Marco Arment wrote a review some time ago:

I use this as well, and it's one of if not the best keyboard I've ever used. I've actually been tempted to stockpile a few in case they ever discontinue it. I'm one of those people who can't type comfortably for any significant period of time without an ergonomic keyboard.
I remember when I had to do a financial analysis of Australia for a Geo-Perspectives course. Oh my goodness!
You guys get so ripped off because of exchange rates and (let's be honest) greed.
