Well I got an Apple wireless keyboard for my Macbook and I like it. There were mixed reviews some loved it some hated it. The freedom of a blue tooth key board seemed worth a chance. I put it on my knees under my desktop and it stills works.

It was easy to install and it paired easily. I like the action it feels like it's well made and the design is cool. The only thing I would change is the color. White is not practicle for me.

No cords nor usb plugins, I like it!!!

I've been wanting to get one as well. Is there a "print screen" key on it, or is that a Windows thing? I think the MacBook's keyboard is all right, but the keys seem too thin for me.

No key labeled as print screen

But I haven't tried to play with the f keys yet
There is an eject key and volume as well as a delete to the right key which I missed on mbp keyboard.

It 17.5 inches wide with a clear thin frame so it's full size.

print screen key combinations copied another site

In Mac, there is an easy key combination to achieve the same effects and more. Simply hit the Command key (the Apple key next to the space bar), the Shift key, and the number 3 key simultaneously. This takes a screen shot of the current screen and saves it to the Desktop as a pdf file.

Now, if you only want to copy a segment of the screen, hit Command + Shift + 4, and the mouse cursor will change from an arrow into cross hairs. Simply click and drag the cross hairs over the area of the screen of which you want to take a picture. When you release the mouse button, you will hear a clicking sound reminiscent of a camera shutter and a new file will appear on your desktop in pdf
