Apple has the worst peripherals of any company ever. They are without question the shittiest keyboards I've ever used.

Fuck you. ALPS switches are GOAT.

I guess as long as it's mechanical i'll be a significant improvement over a modern silicon one. Since it's cheap as fuck i'd say buy it.

>>54872472
Maybe now they are. They were fairly based in the early 2000's.

>>54872472
Are you ducking kidding me? Pre-2000, they had some really, really good keyboards, provided Alps was the switch.

I use mine for gaming so...

It's pretty damn good

G4 era ones aren't mechanical, they're generic rubber domes.

I know, I wasn't talking about that keyboard.

If you're into S&M and want to make yourself suffer, I see why not.

>>54872484
Yeah but you can get alps in anything besides applel shet. Like my Dell at101w with complex blacks.

>>54872330
no they don't feel nice to type on and all the the cheeto dust and shit is visible through the enclosure
the aluminum chiclet ones are actually nicer to use

>>54872472
I have Apple's cabled keyboard and it is actually pretty good. I know there are some autists on /g/ that categorically claim every chiclet keyboard is shit, but It's really nice to type on. Always hated those deep ones, just feels like shit to type on them.

>All applel memes aside
There are no memes. It is reality.
Applefags are mutants with a reality distortion field around them.

Extended keyboard 2 is a fantastic keyboard that uses alps. Get one of them with a griffin imate and you're set. The one you posted OP is the worst feeling keyboard apple has made. It is literally so God damn mushy and has less of a tactile bump than the island style keys apple make now.
