Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this keyboard 6 months ago when I bought my mac mini. This was the only keyboard I could find that satisfied all five of my criteria:
1. Ergonomic
2. Mac Specific
3. Built in trackpad
4. Media keys
5. Wireless
LOVE: The keyboard worked exactly as I'd hoped out of the box and more. I absolutely love the trackpad and mouse click buttons on opposite sides of the board. This allows you to hold it in your hands in a natural position and use your thumbs to easily navigate around your screen whether you are at a desk or across the room. I couldn't have guessed how important this feature would become to me. The mac media keys are great, great, great. Full control of iTunes, as well as launch safari (back/forward buttons also), calculator, etc with dedicated buttons. The typing action is smooth, although the board is a little light, and the curved design is not as ergonomic as a split board.
LOATHE: The keyboard does a good job at staying connected, I only need to reset the connection an average of once a week. However, after a couple months, I started noticing a jitteriness in the trackpad. It would become hypersensitive, sluggish, or the cursor would just jump around randomly, and sometimes click even though I wasn't touching it. Also, while typing, some characters are dropped, resulting in multiple misspellings.
THE DILEMMA: The jitteriness (best word I can come up with do describe it) can drive me to the point where I want to throw the thing out the window. Then other times it works perfectly fine, and I am in love again. Every time I decide to replace it, I end up relenting because there aren't many alternatives. No other keyboard has all the features I have come to love. Apple needs to hurry up and design an ergonomic media board and/or a gyroscopic (wii-style) air mouse!
CONCLUSION: I would still recommend it, because of its features. But, be prepared for a love/hate relationship.
