I’m considering spending $80 on a new apple wireless keyboard. I’ve had the same old school, clear case keyboard for about 5 years now. Let me put it this way – it’s seen better, and cleaner days.
I’ve thought about taking my keyboard apart and cleaning it, but I can’t seem to find a tool small enough to take out the screws on the back. The chances of me making it “like new” again are probably pretty slim anyway. There’s coffee and soda stains all throughout the front, and it looks like a small bird has built a nest from the hairs on my head when I turn it over. I couldn’t bear to take a close up picture and expose you to that kind of horror so I snapped one from a few feet away.
I really like the form factor of the new wireless keyboards although I do find it a bit strange they’re only available in a mini version. The fully keyboard is not wireless. But with limited desk space and the fact that I use a laptop 90% of the day, small keyboards don’t really bother me. I am a little curious about the keys and the responsiveness while typing. Everyone knows good keypress feedback usually helps you type quickly and correctly. The extremely short keys on the Apple wireless keyboard give me the impression they would barely move. Does anyone know if that’s a problem? Any other problems you’ve experienced?
