Couldn't afford a Mac, but at least I can now type like using a Mac!

I was looking for a keyboard for my newly acquired desktop computer (intended to be a Hackintosh), and found this Apple keyboard on sale at Harvey Norman to be perfect for my need. I have used Apple keyboard in the uni computer lab, and they are quite nice to type on. Always enjoyed the usb ports on its side.

Harvey Norman is selling it for $51.20, you may use the $5 newsletter sign up credit here.
Dick Smith have it for $58, and Officeworks have it for $69 (Can price match down to $48.64)

Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad description

Tooled with an anodized aluminium chassis, the Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad has 2 inbuilt USB 2.0 ports and features an ultra-thin profile that is both attractive and easy to type with. One-touch function keys offer quick access to essential Mac features, while the numeric keypad is a must for high-volume data entry tasks.

    Good find OP.

    Also, the Apple Wireless Keyboard is $73.40 after the $5 sign up credit (usually $99). Or $74.48 at OW with price match.

    These keyboards are quite nice, but the USB ports are slow and aren't powered.

    PC users should be aware that they lack the Break, Print Screen and Scroll Lock buttons… this isn't normally a big deal, but when you need to press one of those keys it can be frustrating.

      Print Screen is pretty important…

        Snipping Tool is better

          Greenshot is where it's at. Binds itself to the printscreen key.

          @liveyourlife: "Capture Last Region", combined with the "insert to MS Word" action, is a GODsend for doing documentation.

      so what exactly is nice about this keyboard?

        Well designed and fantastic looking keyboard.
        They are very comfortable to type on, but probably not for everybody (the keys are very laptop-like).

        It's a keyboard, not much more to say really.

          i see. because you said they're nice and then continued to list negative points…

      • PainToad on 25/04/2015 - 17:34

        Type on one and all will become clear.

          They have terrible travel and they get flithy quickly. What's not to love?

          The only thing that will become clear is that I will miss my mech keyboard :p

        Pros:

        Aesthetically pleasing…
        Thin and light
        Chiclet style keys
        Made By Apple (R)

        Cons

        Made By Apple
        No interesting features
        Not mechanical
        Short key travel
        Doesn't have a backlight
        No dedicated media keys or rebindable buttons
        No wrist rest

        The only reason one would buy this is if they have an Apple machine and want a keyboard to complete the 'look and feel' but if ergonomics and features are more important (like they should be!) then there's not much this KB will do for you.

          @tohara: Some people dislike Apple, hence being both pro and con?

          @AznMitch:

          Oh right, i didn't see it in the pro section

        • Pinchy on 26/04/2015 - 01:51

          The short key travel is good - much faster typing and it feels nice to type

          How can you type when your hands are busy elsewhere.

          @scrimshaw: It's the internet, everyone has to have their both hands occupied while doing that sort of thing because otherwise it's not just possible.

      The arithmetic operators (/, *, -, +) on the numeric keypad are also placed differently to PC keyboards.

  • Nilfunds on 25/04/2015 - 17:57

    must have for an apple computer.
    volume controls, brightness, mission control and dashboard

    for a Windows machine i have a back lit one

    lol. just read above. its a lot more than looks mate. pretty sure you're a windows user.

    im amazed. so many posts and nobody knows that this keyboard extends functionality of any apple machine with F1 function keys, which arent F1.
    you can control Itunes with this keyboard, dim and brighten the screen and volume control on a mac plus 2 more things you wouldnt get :):)

      Allow you to delete from in the other direction too.

      CTRL button on both sides (so you can swipe your full screens across) with one hand (not 2 fingers across 2 hands.

      Actual Home/End/PgUp/PgDown buttons

      Number pad is critical for me, and best thing is that I do not have to replace batteries!

      Function keys go up to F19 (go figure with manual key assignment yourself.

      I love the short travel, less energy required to type.

      Yes I too own this keyboard.

  • cloudie9 on 25/04/2015 - 18:20

    I think this is in conjunction with incoming new keyboard with back light?

    we have about 100 of this KB in our office, I would say it has more than 5% chance to have some keys fail to work.
    Apple will replace for free anyway.

    Isn't this the standard keyboard that comes with an iMac? I have one in the cupboard somewhere.

    Adopt the OzBargain Way, and soon will will afford it.
    My mac has an $4 Microsoft keyboard and mouse set. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/175625
    - it is even wireless, unlike your Apple. Thats an expensive badge, considering they are all made in China.

    Much better to have Microsoft hardware, and Apple software than the other way around :-)

      He said he's building a hackintosh, so he will have Apple software.

    After you add it to cart, it goes up to $64…

  • konazz on 26/04/2015 - 12:36

    I recently got the K750R
    Such a shame there's no Apple wireless full size KB (I need my numpad), as I love the feel of these KBs.
