    New Apple Keyboard Sucks

    I got my second Mac Pro, just got here this past Monday. It came with the new thin keyboard. I don't like it, feels too much like a laptop keyboard.

    I've got the wireless one, which is even thinner. You have to position your hands perfectly, or lots of typo's.

        I've got the wireless one, and I love it.
        I had to force myself to use it at first, but now that I'm used to it, anything else feels like a mission control station for some old kiosk

        I type without looking at the keyboard without problem, just took some getting used to.

          I hate the new one too. I'm gonna stock up on old ones when I find it I think because apple isn't selling the old one anymore I think.

            I really like the new thin keyboard. I have no problem with it at all.

              I'm a big fan of the new thin keyboard. It feels so much like my powerbook keyboard, which I love.

                  I can't even type any more when I go back to the old clunky thick ones. New keyboard is much better.

                      It's Apple what do you expect.

                        That's only half of the quote. At least get it right.

                            I did get it right. I didn't change a thing. I didn't post half a sentence. I posted every up to the period. If i stopped after a comma then maybe you might construe that as misquoting.

                            More great Jobs quotes

                            "The PC wars are over. Done. Microsoft won a long time ago."

                            "It's rare that you see an artist in his 30s or 40s able to really contribute something amazing."

                            nice that he admits the truth.

                              I didn't say half a sentence. I said half the quote.
                              It was half the quote, and thus it was misquoting.

                                I see you're not questioning the validity of the other 2 quotes.

                                  No point. I can surmise from what you think makes a valid quote that you will always take pieces of quotes here and there to spin things any way you would like.

                                  You did a good job of making Steve Jobs look like an idiot rather than someone who can make products ahead of their time. Good for you.

                                        I hated it for about a week after I got it, but now I like it.

                                        its easier on your fingers and joints, and it was so easy to get crap, dust, etc.. stuck in the old one.

                                            I love the new keyboard. I use the wired one mostly but can kickback, put my feet up and make great use of the wireless one.

                                              I've been trying to get used to that keyboard too. I'm still not liking it as well as I liked my old one. I gave up on the mighty mouse piece of crap after about a week. I tried to give it a fair chance at least.
                                              I like pie.

                                                I like it. Takes some getting used to, but I like it.

                                                    I actually love the new one. Once you are used to the Macbook keyboard it's not that difficult to switch over to the new wireless one.

                                                          I love the Mac but I hate the keyboards and the mouse. It´s like they took a course in anti-ergonomics.
