New Apple Wireless Keyboard

Thu, 01 Nov 2012 14:40:27 -0700

I received this today after only ordering it yesterday. I got it directly from Apple. It was very easy to set up. Just press the one and only large round button on the top right hand side to put it in pairing or discovery mode. Then on my iPhone 4 I went to settings, bluetooth, bluetooth to turn it on. While in there the keyboard was detected and was marked not paired. I thus double tapped on the keyboard and it started to connect. I was then asked to type the pairing code onto my keyboard then press the return key. The pairing then completed and was successful. It is extremely responsive and comfortable to type on. The keys are raised and large enough for me. Basically if you have a standard mac or PC keyboard, then you should be right at home. Only with this keyboard your control key is the second key in from the bottom left, along with, in this order, option and command, which replaces alt and windows respectively. This is exactly the same on a Macbook/Macbook Pro/Macbook Air keyboard. I was able to update my status on Facebook and Twitter directly from the keyboard, as well as navigate my iPhone 4. I was even able to remove apps from the app switcher directly from the keyboard. I can also control media playback if I wish. Now my advice is if you are going to be away from it for some time, press and hold the one and only large round button on the top right hand side for about 4 seconds. This will completely switch off the keyboard. Now providing bluetooth is still on, the next time you press the above button, they will be automatically paired. Not sure what would happen if I turn the keyboard off and then turn bluetooth off. Hope this is a good review of the amazing Apple Wireless Keyboard. It was certainly worth the £60.
