I think you misunderstood
I was asking how it changes everything
It looks like a keyboard with zero travel that lasts just long enough that you forget where the charger went
>>54487899
The integrated lightning connection means you can use the same cord for your iPad, iPod, iPhone, Magic Trackpad and Magic Keyboard. Never be without a charger again!
>>54487833
>>54487869
It looks the same as the old one tho
>>54487920
Fair enough about the cable, for those already in the ecosystem it's a good wireless keyboard
But why use it over another keyboard? Why should someone go out and buy it from their local Apple store, right this very second?
>>54487951
if you have to ask, it's not for you
that's how most apple products work
>>54487869
Why do dumb asses think less keyboard travel is good. Fuck this piece of shit. Also who owns a apply desktop they are a generation behind in hardware for twice the price at the best of times.
And its not good times for the apple desktop that trashcan is a piece of shit.
>>54487961

>>54487997
So...how do you right click? do you have to do that stupid shit like with macbooks where you tap the very bottom corner and HOPE it "knows what you want"
Piece of fucking shit.
>>54487869
>butterfly switches
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>54488511
Press down with two fingers.
>do you have to do that stupid shit like with macbooks where you tap the very bottom corner and HOPE it "knows what you want"
Macbooks don't do that stop lying.
Is the charging port perpendicular to the bottom of the keyboard? kek
>>54488532
Yes, they do. My friend owns one. If you press on the touchpad in the bottom right corner it will (usually) rightclick.
>>54488560
If it does that's because he's configured it to do so, that's not a stock thing.
>>54488560
That's not how Apple trackpads have worked since around 2008 to 2009. Your friend is using an ancient computer.
>>54488578
>>54488574
I cannot believe pressing with two fingers is how macbook pros actually right click by default in currentyear.
>>54488603
It's how most trackpads right click in the year 2016.
>>54487833
>>54487869
Anything that isn't a mechanical keyboard for a desktop goes in the trashcan.
Anything that isn't the keyboard on the ThinkPad T4xx for laptops goes in the trashcan.
>>54488613
I work retail and this is false.
>>54487978
Well said
>>54488627
same keyboard's on the X series, friend.
>>54488603
I cannot believe you have an issue with this
>>54488511
>So...how do you right click
No clue! Apple in their entire history of being a company has never shipped a single mouse than more with ONE button
>>54488627
T4xx keyboards are fucking terrible.
The plastic they use is cheap, so the spacebar WILL wear visibly, the keyboard flexes which hurts accuracy and the membranes they used are shit.
The classic ThinkPad keyboards were very good, except they decided it was a genius idea to throw Esc above F1. What the fuck where they thinking?
>>54487961
>if you have to ask, it's not for you
>that's how most apple products work
Amazing to me that this is your answer, and something you believe is acceptable by rational thinking people
>>54488662
Why the fuck does right clicking have to be relegated to a gesture? It's ridiculous.
>>54488697
Why the fuck shouldn't it be? That way you can right click anywhere on the trackpad. If this upsets you I can only imagine how you feel about three fingers to middle click.
>>54488697
Because people would rather have a large trackpad that is an entire button. Why do you think trackpads with the buttons at the bottom are going away?
>>54488697
because scrubs don't right click
>>54488012
this, can anyone explain why this is important in a DESKTOP application? why even mention something like that?
it's not like you're going to be carrying this keyboard with you often because it belongs on your desk.
>>54488692
He's right though. Products like an Apple keyboard are aimed exclusively towards Apple users. It's not aimed towards people who aren't using OSX on the desktop. They know that if you're an Apple user using OSX on the desktop, you'll probably want to but am Apple keyboard. If you aren't, then they don't care one way or another if you buy it. Stop acting butthurt that Apple markets Apple-brand peripherals to Apple users, it's just dumb.
>>54488757
I just feel like the reason it's even called a "right click" is because of the 2-button format of mice and other input devices. What do macfags call it now?
Power Presses?
Super Clicks?
Dubs Cliks?
Left/Right clicks are pretty standard stuff, I don't see the point of messing with a system that clearly works.
Also I PC game and all games that use first person have some kind of binding to right clicking.
>>54488736
>three fingers to middle click.
What the fuck? Who designed this bullshit? What kind of fucking manlets use this bullshit hardware? I now have to somehow fit 3 fucking fingers on a tiny ass mouse to open a link in a new tab? FUCK YOU APPLE, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER

Used mine for 4 years, before handing it over to someone in family. I can relate to the goodness of the keyboard. I could type on it for hours. Never felt the need of a separate Keyboard.
I don't understand why companies throw away good design decisions over looks.
>>54488889
That's nice

Introducing the new Apple keyboard, now with the key travel of our overpriced netbook.
>>54488914
Why are you getting upset?
>>54488913
Hey dipshit, I get it. I'm just saying I don't care.
>>54488926
Because having shit key travel is not a feature. Not on "muh thin" laptops and definitely not on separate keyboards.
This is objectively stupid. Who the fuck looks for portability in a desktop keyboard?
>>54488363
Bought the pavilion after having a mbp mid 2012 and I actually like it better. It's a fantastic laptop for the price. They skimped on graphics and she'll, but the actual important stuff is flawless.
>>54488913
>I don't use it, so it's useless
Maybe you should start using middle click.
>>54488945
>Glad to see it worked.

>>54488971
Glad to see it pissed somebody off, I just don't care that it wasn't you.
>>54488914
I love that /g/ will jerk off about how one of the benefits of a mechanical keyboard is that you don't need to fully press down to actuate the key switch, but the moment Applel sells a keyboard and advertises just that, they think it's the worst feature a keyboard could have. Honestly, apple haters are just as dumb as the fan boys.
>>54488817
"3D click"
>>54488913
open links in new tabs
close tabs
I use non-stop. My laptop has hardware left/right clicks so I bound two-finger tap to middle click. Makes sense in my brain, two-fingers to scroll, two finger tap to click the "wheel"
>>54488817
>I just feel like the reason it's even called a "right click" is because of the 2-button format of mice and other input devices
It is.
>What do macfags call it now?
"Right click." "Secondary click" is also acceptable

>>54487968
That's only true to an extent, with butterfly switch you don't need as much travel and get ergonomic/more speedy typing when you don't have to bottom out a giant gap.
>>54488627
this
>>54488989
If that's true then why would we buy topre keys where you have to press down fully.
>>54488697
Because unless you have literal left, middle, and right mouse buttons there's no better way to click than one, two, and three finger taps
Fuck clickpads

OK LISTEN UP.
I'm qualified to speak on the quality of Apple keyboards, being an Apple user since the ][ days.
The beginning of the end was the iMac days, and the ultimate discontinuation of the Extended Keyboard II. After this happened Apple stopped making 'real' keyboards - the Powerbook G4 Titanium was the last 'good' Apple keyboard.
Now the keyboards are glued together plates of plastic and aluminum, with NO long-term durability. I will not be risking what, probably at least $100 on another fuckin' wireless Apple keyboard that will break on me.
>>54488363
Get on my level, you can't even buy a laptop with a real keyboard any more.
>>54489962
ok
>>54488790
>They know that if you're an Apple user using OSX on the desktop, you'll probably want to but am Apple keyboard.
Almost every computer user I know has bought a nice mechanical keyboard eventually, this includes the many Apple users I know. Of course your average grandma probably buys whatever the Apple people sell her.
Remember anons, there was a time when Apple made some of the best keyboards on the market.
>>54487833
100 bucks says the charge port is underneath the keyboard.
>>54487833
Overpriced as shit
Not fully-featured, no numpad
White, which makes it prone to showing all dirt and collected fluff and hair
Doesn't have a backspace key, only delete
No End and Home buttons
No Page Up and Down buttons

Battery life is short for such a low power device
It has no backlighting
Sucks for gaming, latency is too big

>>54487869
These butterfly switches fucking suck, feels like you are typing on touch screen. These are so fucking bad it's not even funny.
>>54490270
>Not fully-featured, no numpad
Hot opinions. You still have those keys on the keyboard.
>White, which makes it prone to showing all dirt and collected fluff and hair
Black keyboards don't make the dust bunnies go away. Clean people won't have this problem.
>Doesn't have a backspace key, only delete
The delete key works as the backspace key. Fn+Delete = 'traditional' delete. If you've never used this key on one of these keyboards even enough to know the delete key works as a backspace key, I question your judgement.
>No End and Home buttons
End: Fn+Right
Home: Fn+Left
>No Page Up and Down buttons
Fn+Up/Down
>Battery life is short for such a low power device
Ehh idk it's rechargeable and works while plugged in.
>Weird cramped arrows position
I guess this is a matter of preference.
>It has no backlighting
Again, a matter of preference.
>Sucks for gaming, latency is too big
I can't find official documentation on it but people are saying that it works as a wired keyboard as well. As in, you not only can charge they keyboard when it's plugged in, but you can also disable bluetooth.
They still sell the old full-size keyboards anyway.

Oh and it doesn't even have backlit keys. Lame.

In my experience, every "thin" mac keyboard that moved away from normal fucking keys has been absolute trash. Every time I ever try and use a modern Macbook or Mac, it feels like I'm just slapping my fingers against a steel table with a hologram of a keyboard over the top. Shit beats the fuck out of my finger tips for some reason, when litterally every other manufacturers keyboard that I have ever touched have never been that bad.
Id rather use a public library Dell keyboard made and placed in said library in 2005 any day of the week than use one of those metal slabs.

I have a 2011 Dell XPS 17" and this things keyboard is the fucking tits. I have never once found a laptop keyboard that feels as springy and responsive as this shit. The key press obviously isnt as deep as a regular board, however it is still like 2-3 times as far as the mac keys ever get

I own two K811 for my two setups and I have to say that it's awesome for what it is. Pretty long travel distance and pronounced keypress feedback. Battery holds 3-4weeks of always on time and charges in just few hours. Never realised how much I would enjoy a wireless keyboard until I realised I can bring it to bed and use it like a remote. Shits cash.
this changes everything
I have this babe from Microsoft and it's alright. It has its pros and cons. It's plastic, but it feels dense and premium. The whole thing is very light, but it's a fully featured keyboard with functional keys and numpad.
Pros:
- nice, silent typing, it's like a premium laptop keyboard
- very compact and light, nothing flaky or squeeky about it, I wished it had metal plating, tho, for more durability
-very easy to clean up, since the keys are nicely spaced out and tightly sealed, so crumbs, hair or lint doesn't get stuck around the edges
- it's has OK latency for desktop typing, if you're within a few metres from your desktop
- it stays paired with the device, even if you restart the OS, but only if you reboot in the same OS
- can be used with any modern device that runs Windows, Android or OS X/iOS, I tried it with my Android phone and it worked very well, so it makes for a good HTPC/tablet/mobile keyboard too, if need be
- it's black
Cons:
- the layout for Home/End, PgDn/PgUp, arrows is very weird, it's vertical, which makes it sometimes painful to touchtype fast and hit the right keys - I hope MS will fix this in a future model
- occasionally it goes idle, probably to save battery life (which MS says should last at least 6 months) - this might improve if it's positioned to sit right in front of its receiver - it's probably a common issue with wireless kbds which operate on low-power settings
- so it's not the best for gaming, unless you just play casually and you don't mind sometimes hitting a hotkey and getting some lag from it
It's also overpriced (99 bucks), but I got it for 69 bucks with a discount, and it includes a nice mouse. The mouse is nothing great, but it's a decent mouse to use casually with a laptop or HTPC.
Overall, it's much cheaper than the Apple one, it's black and it's fully featured. So, my point is, this babe has its pros and cons (meaning you compromise on some things) but it's still much better than the Apple one, which costs almost 2x.

The mouse comes with the set. I believe it's called microsoft Designer Bluetooth Mouse. I do not recommend buying it, it's about 29 bucks and it's not as good as Logitech mice. But I got it for free, it was part of the set, so I guess it's fine.

>>54497350
Yeah, I have no use for it yet, but maybe I'll use it with an HTPC or just give it to my folks to use it with a laptop.

Well, I used ethanol because it's also a disinfectant and it removes any grease marks. The plastic looks and feels very dense and robust.
It's not one of those cheap porous plastics that squeaks or chips easily.
I wished it had some metal plating, though, that's the only thing I like about the apple one, even though its back it's also plastic, they just don't show it in any ads, to make you believe it's all metal.
>>54487920

What do you need speed for your gay men?
Wireless tech is just fine these days.
>>54490558
Windows Server has never kept the good ol' GUI, in fact they adopted Metro at the same time as Windows
>>54502212
In the optimal case, it works fine. But you have to account for two things:
* Occasional interference: The wireless spectrum in any modern home is a very busy place. There /will/ be congestion at some point and you may not immediately realise your keyboard is to blame.
* Need to charge: This is self-explanatory. If it always sits next to a computer, why should I have to periodically charge it?
Also, all wireless solutions ARE higher latency than wired ones. But this may-or-may-not be detectable by humans and I don't have the data, so I won't try to argue it.

>Thinnest desktop keyboard ever created
The fuck is that sort of statement? I've seen plenty of tablet keyboards that are thinner that can just as easily be used on a desktop, charges using an actual standard cable too, micro usb not proprietary apple locked trash
>>54487869
>30 day battery life
But, I change my AA batteries like once a year in my wireless keyboard.
>>54487833
>Butterfly switches, which are just fancy scissor switches
>Wireless
Why does anyone want this?
>>54503083
Apple's scissor switches are pretty great. I agree with the wireless part though, would not buy.
>>54503163
There is never a good reason for scissor switches on the desktop, and if you must use scissor switches for your product (laptop) placing them in island style is god awful. Island style keyboards may be thin and sleek looking but they are very uncomfortable for long typing sessions.
>>54487869
>30 days
A pair of double a's would have some shitbox Logitech running for a year
>>54503224
I like the keyboard on my rMBP more than the keyboard on my T520. My T60's keyboard would have been better than both, if it wasn't for the mind numbingly retarded Esc over F1 nonsense.

Yeah except Server 2008R2 is by far the most common server right now and still looks like Win95. And everyone hates Metro and considers it a downgrade. They'll go back to the Server2008R2 look for 2016, I'm sure.

The internals and various software points have clearly changed. The at-a-glance appearance matters very little. In fact, to most users, it's very important that they don't have to completely learn how to use a new phone every time they upgrade. Some people consider that a *bad* thing that distracts them from work.

Apple makes better scissor switches than anything Cherry sans rarer switches such as greens and clears as I've yet to try those.
>>54503403
I am not a huge cherry person myself, and I do agree that apple's version of the scissor switch is better then other scissor switches; which makes it that much more of a shame they fuck up their keyboards with island style layouts.
My point is simply that scissor switches don't have a place on the desktop, as their intended purpose is to be compact to ensure the portability of a laptop. Scissor switches are well suited to laptops, but island style layouts are horrible everywhere. For a desktop you aren't limited by space constraints, so you want to get something more ergonomic so your typing experience remains comfortable during long typing sessions. Personally I think the model M still hasn't been beat when it comes to comfort.

>My point is simply that scissor switches don't have a place on the desktop, as their intended purpose is to be compact to ensure the portability of a laptop
If they're better than the most common desktop switches why should they not be used on the desktop?
>>54503777
>>54503714
I do agree with you about the Model M though, I picked one up a few months ago and it's definitely the best keyboard I've ever used.
>>54503360
>No refutation to the second point
>>54503370
You are forced to bottom out with the way Topre is designed.
>>54503370
Well I mean...
The actuation point is somewhere around the same point as the buckle in the Lite2.
>>54503777
>why should they not be used on the desktop?
Because while the switch is decent; no one to my knowledge manufacturers keys well suited to the desktop for that switch. You basically are limited to a laptop keyboard on the desktop which can get uncomfortable if you use it for extended periods of time.
>>54503987
Except that's wrong, Apple's switches are anything but uncomfortable (unless you for some reason hate chiclet keyboards)
>>54488363
I had your laptop and it sucked ass. Marginally better than a Macbook keyboard, at best
>>54497220
That looks pretty good. Does anyone know if there is a keyboard like this, but metal and at a fair price? If only the magic keyboard came black.
>black

Any device with Windows 8/8.1/10, Mac OS X 10.10 or Android 4.4. So be it PC, tablet, laptop, smartphone, computer stick, htpc. Some people reported that they made it work with Windows 7 Enterprise edition, but normally Win7 is not supported.
I've no idea if you can pair it with more than one device at the same time. It might not make sense to control two devices using the same input, if you want to do different things. If that's what you meant.
Oh boy, now even my keyboard can require another unique non user replaceable battery
>>54504346
No there isn't anything like that. The only possible way to have a black metal low-profile keyboard like that is to buy a customised apple keyboard from Colorware, they can paint it any colour you want.
http://www.colorware.com/p-612-magic-keyboard.aspx
The final price is 199 bucks.
That's one of the reasons I bought the Microsoft one, even if it has its cons. First of all, I wanted a fully-featured keyboard, not tenkeyless, and secondly I wanted the most compact black wireless you could find on the market.
And this is the only one. Either this or the customised Apple one from Colorware, but you pay more than double the cost of the Microsoft one. 200 bucks for a minimalistic black keyboard seems kind of a dumb purchase, unless you're MKBHD and you don't give a shit about the money. Even then, you have a gimped small apple keyboard with their weird layout, no direct page down, no end key etc etc. All this for 200 bucks? Kek.
>>54504467
Seems like they paint it by just spray painting it. I was hoping it was more of a metal finish. Something like pic related would be awesome.

Hate me /g/, but if it really fixes the keys, I might buy one. Had one at my workplace, and it was really comfy, but the keys sucked big time.
It was in use for two years or so and registering the keys was already a big time. If they fixed THAT, I will switch from my mechanical.

Well my father would break this piece of shit in half, because when he NEEDS his computer, then he NEEDS it.
It's not like you don't have a free spare minutes each day, of course everyone fucking does.
But trust me on this one, it will deplete/die whenever you need it the most.
And while you can just pop in a new AAA/AA battery in other mouses, you can't do that with this one.

It's microsoft designer keyboard, but I don't recommend you to buy it. Maybe wait for the next generation, Microsoft might fix some issues. As I said, the layout is not optimal for touchtyping, it's a bit better than apple's but still not as good as a normal wired fullfeatured keyboard.
Also the performance is so and so. Most of the time is OK, but sometimes it may drive you nuts when you get a sudden spike of lag.
And it's overpriced if you buy it at Microsoft's price.
So, better wait for the next iteration which might get better performance. Or if you really want one, check ebay or a store that gives you a discount. 99 bucks is not really worth it.
It's a nice keyboard, just don't expect the performance of a wired, that's all. And you pay a lot for that.
