Cable-free. Incredibly thin.

Sleek and compact, it has low-profile keys that provide a crisp, responsive feel and function keys for one-touch access to Mac features. Intelligent power management conserves battery life by automatically powering down the keyboard when you’re not using it and turning it on the instant you start typing.

Customer Reviews
Close to perfection
I know it is Mac keyboard but some keys are missing which you have to map using third party software. I mean even Mac people will have problem using Home, End, Page up & Down + Delete keys if you have windows on Mac. Otherwise look, size, performance & comfort is top notch but price is high as other apple product (which is not fare that's why I never buy apple product) It is only small & thin keyboard in market which you can carry with your laptop bag so no choice but have to buy it.
BTW: Logitech was my choice for 4-5 years but size of this keyboard is not available from logitech.
Elegant, useful, nice spring to the keys
I am a new Mac Mini user and wanted a wireless solution that doesn't steal a USB port. I was happy to note that this was Bluetooth connective device, so my choice was an easy one. Upon unpackaging, the instructions gave straightforward direction on the device's battery requirements, which are modest.
I've owned dozens of keyboards in my lifetime and this is easily one of my favorites. It seems resistant to keyboard crumbs and looks great on the desk. Connecting to my Mac was a snap.
Of course, you could get a cheaper wire keyboard for a fraction of the price, but as something I use every day for hours, I rate this little luxury very high in actual utility. Highly recommended for that alone. My only caveat is for people who prefer L A R G E keyboards. If you have chubby fingers or prefer ergonomic keyboards, you should test drive one at your local Apple Store before buying.
Too slick for its own good
I bought this as part of an iMac package. It has been so troublesome that I will be replacing it shortly with a corded, full-size Apple keyboard. I have had two problems in particular. First, the keyboard skips numerous characters that I know I have typed. The result is that I am constantly spending extra time going back over and correcting what I have typed. Second, the layout is such that I am constantly hitting the Caps Lock key rather than the Shift key. I often don't realize that I'm typing in all caps for several sentences. Once again, I have to spend extra time going back and correcting. Since I'm about to start using my computer for work, I can't afford to stick with a keyboard this unreliable. While it has a very slick design, it's not up to the rest of the job.
