    Well, ive got one for christmas, and I love it =] the response times are much better than my old one and the keys feel much nicer under your fingers, also the fact that none of them cannot stick is good too =]

    And look at the size difference!
    Definitely looks like it was worth buying, im glad ive got it =]

    It's nice, it's like my MacBook keyboard.

    Although you're going to miss that number section once you need to start typing in a lot of numbers for things.

    I got a new logitech wireless keyboard for christmas which is pretty sweet. It's nice not to have to worry about cords and the like.

    I can also play games from bed :wink:

    and im half way across the room watching a movie on my tv =]
    i used both number sets, but its nothing that a day or two of typing will change.
    i'll get used to it pretty fast.
    It feels MUCH better than the old one =]

    I wonder if I should get a wireless mouse aswell....

    If you do get a wireless mouse, go for a rechargeable one with a charging base to put it in when you're not using it. Wireless mice use batteries quite quickly because the optical thing is always on.

    We had a couple at work, being used all day every day, and decent (Duracell) batteries would last a couple of weeks. With cheap batteries it was a few days.

    At a previous company we had a few of the Logitech rechargeable one which worked fine as long as the users remembered to put it back on its charging dock each night (it just sits on like a cordless phone). Without charging they would run flat part way through the second day.

    A friend has a Sony bluetooth mouse that came with his Sony laptop, which is switched off automatically when the laptop is shut down or suspends. Pushing the button underneath the mouse turns it back on, and if the laptop is just suspended it wakes that up too. Very neat and good for battery life. If Apple do something like that it would be good.

    I wonder why the ariginal desktop keyborad has to have double keys for numbers, why can they make it like laptop or the wireless keyborads? smaller in size, wont take up much space

    I have a Logitech MX700 wireless keyboard + mouse set, and it comes with a charging cradle/base station. I've had it for 3-4 years and I've never had to replace the rechargeable batteries. My only complaint is that there are a LOT of wires for it (mouse and keyboard plus wires for a power brick all connect to the base station) so it takes up a lot of room.

    Although I must say, I'm at the point of having to change them since the mouse's battery meter LED is always flashing red, even when I charge it.

    When you need to use lots of numbers you use the number pad on the right side, when you're typing up something and you need to use one number you can quickly push it on the top row of numbers. The keyboard is very well thought out.
