[QUOTE="Cherokee, post: 542034, member: 28697"] I love the new keyboard. It's by far the best keyboard I've ever used. It's extremely quiet to type on. It feels like a MacBook keyboard, but the spacing of the keys is better. It's also quieter than the MacBook keyboard. It doesn't have a plastic-like sound. I like it so much, I'm thinking about getting one for my work machine. It didn't take me any time to get used to typing on it. Of course, I was using a MacBook exclusively before I got the iMac. That may have made it easier. None the less, I don't see it as much of an issue for anyone. It really is a pleasure to type on, IMO. The keys are responsive. I haven't noticed any problems with the keystrokes registering. If you have a really light touch it might be different. Normal keystroke pressure works fine for me. It's easy to clean because the keys are flat. The F and J keys have a raised line on them. The USB ports are a little bit of a pain to access because they are recessed underneath the sides. I suppose it will be easier to plug stuff in when I get more accustomed to locating them without looking. The USB ports will not work with my iPod. I have to plug it into the back. The cord is the perfect length for an iMac. There isn't much extra at all. [/QUOTE]
