No such thing as a Mac keyboard really...you can replace it with any USB keyboard you want.
Then again I like the default one, it's very silent and the flat keys are kind of unique. Only stupid thing is that some important keys are too small, like function keys and sometimes the arrows.
- aquark 15y agoAs a many year Windows programmer I _love_ typing on my 2011 MacBook Pro keyboard except for the cursor movement. I can't seem to train my fingers to handle the different combinations of Alt/Opt/Cmd/Ctrl/Shift and the arrow keys. The lack of discrete page up/down and home/end keys really affects productivity.
- makecheck 15y agoYou can use Control-down-arrow and Control-up-arrow to move by pages, and Command-up-arrow and Command-down-arrow like Home/End. But note it is technically possible to remap key bindings for text fields in any way you want. Here is one article about it: http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/cocoa-text.html http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/cocoa-text.html Basically, Cocoa methods exist for almost any imaginable text editing action (such as pageDown), and they can be mapped to any keys. I would also imagine there's a way to map them to gestures on the MacBook's trackpad.
