Its a great idea to use an Apple keyboard... for taking a picture of your workspace. Then back to the real keyboard. More seriously, I really wish any USB keyboard could be "converted" into a Apple Bluetooth keyboard (as far as the Mac knows) - they have great connectivity, battery life.

  I had the Apple Bluetooth, then went with the Apple wired to get a full size experience. I'm now using the Logitech wireless, which is full size, and solar powered. At first I didn't like that it's not the "Apple" feel, but now, I like it better I think. (not Bluetooth, but the adapter is tiny, especially if you're using Thunderbolt display or another docking situation with USB ports, since it's never in your laptop)

  I jump back and forth between an Apple chicklet keyboard and a Das Keyboard with the brown switches, and I can never decide which I like more. I love the feel of the mechanical keyboard, but the Apple one has such a short throw that I can almost forgive the mushiness. I also think the Das Keyboard has too much bezel which makes it take more room on my desk than I'd like. But then I long for that nice click and satisfying feel, and go back.

    You might like the Microsoft Sculpt. Similar feel to the mbp kb, but ergonomic.

  For the ultimate keyboard experience, get a mechanical keyboard. http://www.reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards http://www.reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards

    Yep, that's what I'm talking about. A Filco with the electronics of those apple keyboards.

    I'm using both mechanical and MacBook built-in, and I'm not sure if I like mechanical better. It's kinda cool to type on it, but the keys are just so huge, it feels like I'm using a typewriter. Using the Apple keyboard is the opposite, it's like I'm just slightly brushing the surface.

      If you're pressing the keys on a mechanical keyboard all the way down, then you're not using it correctly. One big advantage of (most) mechanical keyboards is that there's a clear tactile and/or audible indication of actuation, at which point you can release the key.

        Ha, that's actually a great tip. I think I was just too used to regular keyboard, where you have to press until the key touches the bottom -- but with mechanical keyboard it's enough to press until I can feel the feedback. I takes some getting used to, I have to consciously try to press the keys lightly, but it kinda feels nice! I'm definitely enjoying my mechanical keyboard much more this way. Also, 10 keys typing is a must with a mechanical keyboard.
