Yes it looks good and is nice and skinny. But be honest, how many of
you replaced it with a regular keyboard? Something about the keys
barely moving is bothersome. I'm sure the regular Mactards will say
it's the best keyboard ever as they will get kicked out of the Church
of Mac. But are they any normal Mac users that have an opinion on this
thing?

I like the new one for wireless, really makes it handy as hell at that
size.

For wired, I still use my older one.

I agree about the wireless one without the number pad would be great
for HTPC, just if you do a lot of typing the lack of tactile feel on
the aluminum wired one is thumbs down!

There IS tactile feel on the Aluminum keyboard.   Try using one in the
future before posting nonsense.

It's a terrible keyboard for typing. Unfortunately, I own far more

Funny.

I installed 7 new iMacs for a client and each user had the option of
using the new aluminum keyboard or keeping their old one.

Not one has switched back.

Nice fairy tale.

It's junk.  Get real keyboard where the keys actually move up and down
more than 1/40th of an inch!

What lack of tactile feel?  While it is a shorter stroke, the feel is
there.

I don't agree.  I use the wireless one on my mini and it is just fine.  
I still have the older wired one because there was no reason to change.

But either are plenty easy to type on.

It's the facts, Pratt-fall. I'm sorry for you that they don't agree with
your pre-conceived notions.

Even if it was remotely the truth, why would one want that?

It looks pretty nice. But then, at $160US, it had better be.
