The keys themselves feel different from Apple’s too. The one exception to that are the icons on the keys that appear to be decals rather than printed directly on the keys like Apple’s keyboard, which gives them a cheap look and makes me worry about durability over a long period of time. But comparing next to the thicker previous generation Apple wireless keyboard (below, left), it fits in a little nicer proportions-wise, as Apple slimed down the profile of its latest generation keyboard when it switched to an internal battery in the new design.īut otherwise the look of the design mirrors Apple’s keyboard almost exactly and the build quality is for the most part just as solid.
It’s made to match Apple’s own wireless keyboard, but it’s a bit chunkier if you’re comparing side by side with Apple’s latest generation wireless Magic keyboard that it released last year (below, right). In total it gives you 22 keys, including the usual number pad with backspace and ‘tab’ keys, and an extra top row that includes undo, cut, copy, and paste.
#Full size wireless keyboard for imac pro
But I personally like and miss the speed of using a keypad for quick commands in pro apps like Logic and punching in numbers in spreadsheets (it’s tax time…), so I’ve been testing Satechi’s new Aluminum Wireless Keypad that recently arrived.
That’s probably because the majority of users probably don’t miss it with the top number row suffice for occasional number input, so it’s understandable why Apple doesn’t pay much attention to it. Its wireless Bluetooth keyboard, however, which it bundles with its Mac desktops and also sells separately, is shorter and doesn’t come with the old number pad. Apple has a truly full-sized keyboard with the number/keypad option, but it’s only available as a wired keyboard. Satechi’s new Aluminum Wireless Keypad is the numeric keypad add-on Apple doesn’t make for its own wireless keyboard.
