Apple Wireless Keyboard Key Mapping

I wanted a wireless key board with the numeric keypad...I do a lot of date entry. Chose the Apple product over others because of past experience with Apple products. Also looked at other manufacturers and customer comments...this clinched my decision to buy the Apple product. It is a great keyboard and meets all of my expectations. One thing to note, previous Apple keyboards have tabs underneath that allows you to tilt the front of the keyboard up...this keyboard does not have that feature. I put a small piece of wood under the key board to tilt mine up.

This is the keyboard Apple should have made. Their keyboard features similar key strokes, but is only available without a number keypad for $99. If you want this type of keyboard with a number keypad, it is only available as a WIRED keyboard. But Apple's only wireless keyboard comes without a number keypad. Other features put the Apple keyboard to shame. You can connect up to 4 devices for starters. It takes 5 hours to charge that should last a full year. Apple's comes with replacement batteries. Pricing is the same for both wireless keyboards. If you want a fully-featured keyboard, you can't do better than this Matias keyboard.

Using the product with a Mac Pro. Works great out the box - may need some key mapping using keyboard maestro. Overall great keyboard and easy to read. 3 levels of backlighting and a luxury feel. Flawless under Windows as well so far. I'd recommend!

The Apple Magic Wireless Keyboard with Numeric Keypad has improved my productivity considerably. The keyboard is comfortable to type on and having the benefit of a numeric keyboard attached is great.

The Apple Magic Wireless Keyboard w/ Numeric Keypad is one of the best keyboards I have owned. It is very slim and feels reminiscent of the MacBook Pro I used to own. I love having the numeric keypad off to the side, as I use it a lot. Battery life is amazing. When I first got this one, I had forgotten to turn it off at the end of the day and left it on for a few days straight.....only to find that it still has battery life left. It charges quickly, with the included cable, and syncs automatically without requiring you to go through the normal steps like you would bluetooth ear buds or something. The only thing I wish the keyboard had - that it doesn't have - is backlit keys. I'm sure there is an aftermarket option somewhere that would offer the backlit keys, but this one fit my budget and is a very solid keyboard.

The Apple Wireless Keyboard is a convenient way of saving the use my keyboard on my Mac Book pro. I also love the grey steel color because it matches my computer. It truly makes a fashion statement. I bought the keyboard to save the use of my computer keyboard.

The key board looks and work exactly the same than my old Apple keyboard. I have already used 2 Apple keyboard and they do not last long... this keyboard is very affordable and it works great. Thank you to the B&H representative who suggested me to buy this product. As always, I feel very satisfied.

This is the wireless keyboard that Apple should have made. This keyboard by Matais is exceptionally well made and works GREAT; I LOVE IT !

The key board works well and it is nice to have the numeric keyboard back again. Pros: The keys have the feel as the Apple keyboard and the layout is a carbon copy of the wired Apple keyboard until you get to function key 15. 16 through 19 are missing as that where you pair the keyboard to one of four devices. Cons: Only a minor issue but has taken some getting use to... The Safari short keyboard short cut to go back or forward a page. ( fn+ or fn+ ) do NOT work. Not sure if others may not work as I only use a few of the fn shortcuts.

Being a long time PC extended keyboard user and even Apple II mechanical keyboard, I was having a hard time using the chiclet-style, no number pad, no DELETE key Mac keyboard that came with my iMac. The Das Keyboard solved all those problems. It is heavy (built like a battleship) and doesn't slide around. The click and feel let me know when keystroke is done. Easy to feel the edges of the keys and know where I am on the keyboard. Extra CTRL key on right is nice and both left and right CTRL keys are in the same relative position, not getting confused with the FN key as on the Apple keyboard. Having a DEL key in normal PC location is great. The round sound volume knob works fine for me. I don't have any problem with the 6+ foot cord to connect to the iMac - glad it is not short. The 2 USB3 ports also work fine for me and are appreciated. The only downside for me is the sharp edge at my wrists and no wrist rest. That is easily remedied at the store. A less expensive, PC keyboard would also have worked functionally and you have to decide what is best for you. Having the keys (CTRL, OPTION/ALT, CMD) labelled correctly makes the transition from PC to MAC easier. For me, the weight and feel and click of the keyboard was worth the extra cost.
