Well they don't have a Windows key, so I don't like it!

The Apple key does the same function.

I couldnt live with a non-ergonomic keyboard anymore.

I want a mother-of-perl keyboard.

Looks ugly to type on.

edit: but that's the whole apple business model, isn't it? looks > functionality

edit: indeed they do. sweet

I got this keyboard with built in touchpad that's bluetooth. It's made for the PS3 but works fine with my Mac Mini and Windows Media Center.

It doesn't come with a bluetooth receiver/dongle but those are cheap now days and if your PC/Mac has built in bluetooth, you're good to go.

Comes in handy on my PS3 also

It was the cheapest solution that I could find that had a integrated mouse function.

That's because Mac users don't code, they use WYSIWYG.

 

[vi edit]

If wrists could weep, my are doing it after seeing pics of that abomination. I'll take my MS Ergo 4000 with comfy padded wrist wrest thank you.

No way i much prefer the short key travel for coding - it gives a lot more feed back quicker since there's only about 1mm of movement and then hard stop. Awesome for vi and similar editors where most of the work is done with key commands.

Ohh pf split V keyboards are for weiners. Do some wrist extensions and curls next time you're at the gym. I've never had any problems with wrists being sore from keyboards, generally because I hit them much harder at the gym then when I work...

 

[SSSnail]

I use this combo

 

[wetcat007]

I bought one a while back because I tried it out in a store and really liked it. I don't have any apple computers that I currently use, however the keyboard works really well, the keys have a little more space between them which seems to help a lot for type speed.(not as easy to hit two keys). I've had it for almost a year I think, it's held up just fine, and doesn't get dirt stuck behind the keys like a normal keyboard would so it's easily to clean. It's also reasonably quiet to type on.

 

[Linflas]

No, I love my Model M keyboard.

 

[ultimatebob]

At least he isn't using one of those Apple one button mice... damn, I hate those things! Apple has had friggin' right mouse button support since Mac OS 9 (if not earlier), so I don't understand why they refuse to sell hardware that uses it.

If you're being serious, I'm about ready to hit you upside the head.

 

[irishScott]

An all aluminum keyboard is nice, but I'd prefer it in black/silver.

 

[CrazyLazy]

They like all apple artisy but give me carpal tunnel so yeah...

 

[xanis]

I love those keyboards. They have them on all the brand-new iMacs and Mac Pros at school. Then again, I love the feel of laptop keyboards, and that is what it reminds me of.
