No, the Amazon Keyboard replicates the Apple keyboard accept for the control and option keys work as VO although they do not speak and nor does the command or option keys unless you are in the practice area, where you practice your gestures. I found out by accident that the command and option keys worked by accident.
I leave my Apple keyboard on all the time as it's running on a pair of duricell ultra batteries at the moment. Once they run out then I'll be using the battery charger supplied by Apple and whatever batteries the charger comes with as you get six. The Amazon keyboard is plastic and very light where as the Apple Keyboard is made of aliminum. Kawal.
