270174, Apple's keyboards suck. All of them.
Posted by Nopayne, Thu Mar-22-12 10:53 PM
Throughout the past week I've suffered through three different Apple keyboards:

iMac USB Model
This was the best of the bunch. This is not a very good keyboard. I found myself consistently cursing because the Home and End buttons didn't behave consistently. Ditto for the Page Up and Page Down buttons. Another annoyance is the placement of the command key. If you're going to bastardize the use of the control key then put its replacement in a reasonable location. I found my hand constantly contorting when trying to do simple key combinations such as command-c.

Macbook Pro Model
This is a slightly worse version of the iMac model. Its one saving grace is that they've opted to omit the useless page up/down buttons.


Bluetooth Standalone Model
What a piece of shit. I can't imagine who would buy this thing. I don't have it in front of me right now but it's got to be even more cramped than the MBP model. I'm actually considering asking for the shitty iMac keyboard back to get a break from this thing. This is an absolute fail.
