New Apple Keyboard As today is a nice sunny day, I thought I would take a bit of a walk over to the Apple Store on Regent Street and get myself one of those fancy new Apple keyboards. The reason behind this (apart from that I could and it was a nice day for a walk) was that I was attracted to a laptop style keyboard on my main work iMac.

So, what do I think of it so far? I love it. Apart from all the funky keys you have on it (which I have so far to setup) it is more importantly very quiet!

Another nice thing about it is its responsiveness, its pretty fast and feels immediate.

It is of course difficult to describe a keyboard since you have to do it by feel, but so far I am loving this!

The only test I now have to put it to is the Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory test! Maybe a bit later on tonight, and more info shall be posted!

George Bridgeman's Gravatar They've got the keyboards in today? I went in there yesterday evening on my way home from work and they said they'd not have any in until probably next week!

I'll have to go home via Regent Street again this evening if they've got some now.

This keyboard feels awesome, I am typing faster and quieter than I have ever done!

Andy Matthews's Gravatar Looks like laptop keyboard keys. If that's the case then that would suck. I HATE typing on my laptop.

Matt Williams's Gravatar Why does the wireless version not have the number keys? Gotta have those for majority of development time.

Mark Drew's Gravatar I think the idea is that with the wireless, you would be using it on your lap, i.e. for the mac tv or when you are AWAY from your machine, i.e. for Front Row etc.

At least that is what Steve Jobs said!
