Does anyone else really like Apple's keyboards?


I was just wondering if anyone shared the same opinion, I have a K70, but I also have one of the mini bluetooth Apple keyboards and I sometimes prefer the Apple on simply because of the look and feel, in combination with it being so nimble and making a much smaller imprint on my desk. My next keyboard will definitely be a 60-80% layout, so maybe a KBParadise V60. Does anyone else like typing on Apple keyboards?

The design is just so modern and simplistic, I love it so much.

Tenkeyless is as small as I go. I have two keyboards plugged in - my TKless MX Green keyboard and a rubber dome with a numpad for whenever I need it (rare). Can't go less than standard tenkeyless though.

I like them a lot, not like, for gaming, but on laptops and stuff they're really good

For daily tasks they are fine, though I do prefer keyboards with numpad since I use those as macros if the keyboard doesn't have macros.

yes and no. I think for a desktop keyboard they don't make sense, because I need the comfort of a mechanical keyboard, but they are better than a traditional membrane keyboard. for a laptop keyboard they are great, and for a system where size of the keyboard is important they are a good option, like for a kitchen PC or HTPC. the build quality is also top notch.

there's a lot of good about them for different use cases, but it has no place on my desk

I like the older one with a numpad and the arrow keys are way too fucking small

I just punched a small child because your grammar was so bad.

yes, as a long time apple user. I do like they keys. i can usually get to going fairly quick. much quicker as the range of actuation is much shorter than my rubber dome keyboard.

Not the metal ones you are referring to, no travel, hate the feel. (avid IBM Model M user here)

 

The vintage ones on the other hand are great. Build quality made in the USA! Dont make them like they used to!

 

Own a Apple Extended Keyboard II with Cream ALPS Mechanical Switches. Feel great with thick PBT keycaps.

oh yeah. you don't realize how great a numpad is until it's gone.

Tell me about in the only year of college I went to. I couldn't get used to the Mac keyboards, I can deal with their software but not their keyboards, I already dislike you but you just made it worse for me, and no I didn't leave college because of the keyboards lol.

that sounds like a sex thing :P

 

I just don't like super small keyboards where an alternate function is crammed into "Alt+Shift+End"F3"

I'd have to say the Pok3r does the great job, it has every bind you could ever want by just function+ a key

I'm assuming you mean you already dislike them (the keyboard)?

if you do already dislike me, I guess that's cool too. (and I'm sorry?)

It was more to be read as internal thinking. Don't take it personal though lol.
