I'm doing some reprographic work for the next coupla weeks, which means I am using MACs, now I've got nothing against Apple per say, infact the operating system feels like 21st century stuff, but the FREAKING keyboards! Bloody hell, this particular one has 16, SIXTEEN F keys!! and then a load of superfluous audible keys, and an eject key.... seriously? Not only that but they don't seem to localise the keyboard so its got an North American layout which gets damnd frustrating when you are @ing or "ing!

I have an apple keyboard for my pc and i quite like it, you might want to check out applekey pro tho it lets u map a few of the keys that are missing like print-screen -
I use an Graphite Apple Pro keyboard on my Windows system too simply because they're great!
It even shows up as, and functions as a USB hub.Comment

That's odd, Jibber, my mum's Mac has an UK-style keyboard. I think they're really nice, apart from the lack of a wrist wrest.Comment

i always used them, and never thought much about it.
i assume @ is not above 2 for pc users, but it seems to make more sense having " down there with ' to me.
some f keys are very useful though...especially for expose, and the eject key is especially important on a G5, where its the only way to get the thing open.
you'll get used to it in no time.Comment

I think you can assign different functions to the keys too... I haven't tried on my ibook since the F keys do volume and **** by default...Comment

I love my Mac and unless there is a cosmic shift in computing I won't be buying a Windows PC ever again.
Having said that I find their keyboards do feel a bit cheap and plasticky.Comment
