Don't know what I would have done without it...

|| Apple sure knows how to make a simple yet highly functional product, and the Apple Wireless Keyboard is no exception. I use the device primarily with my mobile studio, which allows me to position my laptop and second monitor behind the keyboard for a more comfortable wrist position.

|| HERE'S A TIP: Don't waste your money on disposable batteries, I purchased Sanyo Eneloop Rechargeable batteries. They are great! I'm literally still using the same batteries in the AWK I bought in 2009 - totally serious.

Great keyboard

Apple has always been one of my favorite brands, and when it comes down to it, I prefer a simplistic look, yet a functionable piece of hardware.

L

good

battery life is great. From all the abuse the x letter has fallen off and the shift key on the left doesn't work too well so i always use the right shift now
