Testing new Apple Keyboard
I’ve been testing the new super-thin Apple Keybaord here at work for a bit and found that my typing speed increased by about 20% vs. my Microsoft ergonomic keyboard. The travel distance and action of this Apple one is fantastic and the lack of barriers between keys means my fingers can fly from one key to another really well. Now, if this one was split and ergonomic, with the same key action and spacing, I’d be set.
As it is, I’m not entirely set and I need to figure out what my next step for keyboarding is.
So just how thin is it? Is it still responsive in terms of key action and feeling durable, or does it feel fragile?
This just made me wonder what you use for mousing? I’ve told people who pan the Apple mouses that “just like how the first thing power PC users do on a new machine is to remove the bloatware, the first thing Apple user do is to get a different mouse.
I’m not saying that’s true, that’s just what I say.
I love it – the low profile and the very light touch of the keys makes for more comfortable typing than I ever remember having on another keyboard. After buying one for home and using it for the past few days, I’m going to go out and buy myself one for work too. I’ve always liked ergonomic split keyboards too, but I never realized how great “low” is.
I do use the Mighty Mouse, though, mostly because I haven’t seen any other full-size Bluetooth mice that I like.
Hi. Test post :
!-!-!-!
I wonder if Apple will ever introduce a split keyboard design. Doesn’t seem to fit their style.
Beautiful looks, but in 3D hotkeys ex: Autodesk maya, unable to tip the usual hotkeys in the new mouse and keyboard…
Anyone knowsolutions? thanx!
