Fri, 14 Dec 2007 14:51:07 +0000 #comment-24715 <p>I love the laptop/low travel keys. After a (longer than usual) adjustment phase, I really began to appreciate the MacBook (chiclet style) keyboard. A proper laptop keyboard with the scissor-switch type of setup will have good tactile response and be pleasing to use. That said, I also really like the older Mac keyboard for its better (even if a little subtle) tactile feedback. Right now, I'm using scissor-switch desktop keyboards on all of my machines. I've become addicted to the low-travel and light-touch. This Moshi keyboard is really appealing to my gadget freak side with the Aluminum frame and glowy-Moshi logo thingy, I may have to splurge one of these days.</p> I love the laptop/low travel keys.

I haven’t used a Macbook, but the keyboard on my Macbook Pro is fine… I still like a full sized keyboard for everyday use though.

I think this keyboard would be great for anyone that has ordered one of the new iMacs with the Aluminum finish.

I really don’t understand what Apple was thinking when they redesigned the keyboard. (and especially the wireless one)

I’m in complete opposition to Tylers view, however Apple hasn’t given anyone the choice. It’s the new keyboard or an aftermarket one. And I like the old keyboard, which isn’t available anymore.

It has a much smaller frame, and although it does use laptop keys, it uses the very nice MacBook keyboard-esque keys. They're very clicky and have good travel, IMO. I think the MacBook's keyboard is much better than the MacBook Pro's.</p> I think Apple’s new Aluminum keyboard looks much better, and it’s only $50.
