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 love that keyboard I want to get it... Robatolla has it...

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.

well i think that mac keyboard is hot :)

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

That mac keyboard is pretty slick! as long as its wireless, any keyboard would do fine on me.

It's Apple what do you expect.

"You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them."

-Steve Jobs

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

"You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new."

I almost bought this keyboard yesterday, it looks pimp!!

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."
-- Fortune, Feb. 19, 1996"

"It's rare that you see an artist in his 30s or 40s able to really contribute something amazing."
-- At age 29, in Playboy, February 1985

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.

cool keyboard. i'd love to have that one. any keyboard is fine with me, just love the new style. :thumbsup

Looks almost as good as their one button mouse.

:disgust

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.

laptop style keyboards rock :)

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

It's GatorB, it wouldn't be a Mac thread without him in here hating on Apple.

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.

hey if you dont want it ill take it off your hands ;)

Jason Berardi, You owe me $500 something dollars. I'm gonna take a few minutes to bump your posts with this everyday until you decide to settle your debt with me. holler.

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

The mouse I just throw away and use a logitech mouse.

what is there to not like about the wireless mighty mouse

all new keyboards take some time to get used to, after awhile I bet you won't even notice a difference

Yeah, I'll get use to it.

I have a cool silicone cover over my keyboard on my MACBook Pro.. it took me a little time to get used to a new keyboard but i think it is the same for all keyboards .. and in my opinion the fucker looks sweet ..

i wonder what the macbook air keyboard will be like, must be worse than that

I love my regular apple keyboard

I used to have a laptop styled keyboard, but now I'm back to good ol fat buttons.

Doesn't the wireless version not have a 10 key?

a 10 key?!?!?

number pad on the right

Yes, the wireless version is missing the number pad.

hehe - I still can't used to my wireless white keyboard after typing on the the MBP keyboard so much.

I'm forever making typos on it cos I'm too used to just touching the keys with the slightest of presses....

Wanna swap? ;)

It is interesting to see the inroads Apple has made with people on GFY.

A couple of years ago when the was an Apple or Mac thread there would only be three replies if you were lucky.

Once you go Mac you won't go back.

yeah - the wireless isn't an extended keyboard - kinda dumb. I won't get one till it's an extended version

Looks fragile to me

so yeah i like punn he he he

i love laptop keyboards. looks pretty cool but kind of small.

Mac keyboard works fine and comfortable

Which one?
