The thing about the current Mac keyboards...

Post #383,601 by static 11/17/13 3:34:54 PM Reply	The thing about the current Mac keyboards... ... is that they seem to be more form than function. Even on the laptops. I have to type slower on them, and I've noticed colleagues still struggling a little with accuracy (we've had them more than a year). I just plug in my Happy Hacking Keyboard. :-) Wade.

At $25 a pop, When my fine iMac arrived, my first glance at that slab of aluminum.. was a wince. And in such a beautifully-nested white box, so reminiscent of Japanese artful lunch packaging. Trying to type on it, another phrase popped into head (from school daze) Gehabt, kindern! Second flash was.. Ohh Kay, Steverino ... ya gots feet of clay--and here's the proof. Think it was third day I asked L. if she had any other 'Apple' kb I could try; pity that her two (!) traded alloy-art for a ~normal layout/keys but mushiness, with no feedback (either). I guess that many just keep on truckin.. Because it's so pretty and Steve did it. (Wonder if anyone has ever won a typing-speed contest on one; maybe a few Are super-adaptable.) Hey.. you make your living via what ends-up needing to be TYPED; hope you find something that actually helps in that. Life's too short to accommodate a crippled design in an essential daily task (though I once did own a Indian 440cc TT Warrior POS. For enough weeks to verify its POSness.) :-/ Luck..

What I have actually directly observed is mild frustration over the Mac keyboard compared to the Dell keyboards we used to have. Several of my colleagues directly opined that it was harder to type at speed on the Mac keyboard. Wade. Just Add Story http://justaddstory.wordpress.com/
