Apple did make some really good keyboards between 1987 and 1995, that are now considered classics. The mechanical Alps switches are a bit sensitive to dust over time though. In the enthusiast community in recent years, there have been aftermarket parts - as well as DIY kits for new keyboards that use switches and keycaps scavenged from these keyboards. One good "it just works" thing that Apple has is that the Magic Mouse 2 and "Magic Keyboard"s [1] do automatic pairing of Bluetooth credentials over USB the first time you plug it into a Mac. I think that is a pretty elegant way to do out-of-band pairing — which is the most secure type of pairing. But I do wish that the protocol was standardised and not proprietary, so that it would become available for other peripherals and OS:es. 1: The "Magic Keyboard"s are the ones with built-in batteries, not the predecessors not actually branded "Magic".
