hey guys in this mkbhd video we'll be taking a look at the Apple wireless keyboard both a hardware and software impression from a Windows user and also as a side note if you give this video a thumbs up as this videos for Dave from geeking IDEs that would really help out a lot so please like this video so without any further ado let's take a look at the review so as with all Apple packaging this one is really really nice and simplified and rightly take it out the box you pretty much know that you're messing with Apple hardware this one's no exception you actually just get a nice simple box with the keyboard itself instructions in the warranty and the two double-a batteries that power the sky are actually pre-installed in the keyboard now as most of the Mac users watching this video probably already know this is a Bluetooth keyboard now Mac's have Bluetooth built in typically but the PC I was testing us on my desktop actually needed an external bluetooth dongle which cost what $0.99 on Amazon so just make sure you have one of these before you get to using it now the chiclet style keys and the layout of this keyboard from above is pretty much flawless it's the exact same keyboard that you'll get when you buy a macbook or a macbook pro and i really don't have a problem with that i do have pretty big hands but typing on this has not been a problem at all but a side note for Windows users when you get your drivers you'll actually get to change the command button from command to the windows key as this keyboard doesn't have a Windows key built-in to get a better idea of whether or not this keyboard will actually work for you I suggest you go into a store like a Best Buy or something like that that carries this keyboard just type on it for a little bit to see if it fits your hands because you won't really like it if it doesn't but I think the checklist all keys will work for a wide variety of people just fine so if all that kind of boring stuff aside let's take a look at the keyboard itself just the way it looks is really really good Apple does that kind of stuff really well the form factor of this keyboard is very very thin and lightweight so I wouldn't have a problem with throwing this in a laptop bag and taking this with me if I had a smaller laptop even the keys themselves don't have a lot of travel as they are the separated chiclet style so in the end this Hardware just is ridiculously thin and this of course means it'll also take up way less room on your desktop and up on the top of the keyboard there are a bunch of media controls and also function keys that Mac users probably just love love love but that Windows users will have to do without so if you're buying this keyboard and you get the windows drivers unfortunately these rarely include any functionality in those top keys now for geeky noise I'm supposed to keep this video pretty short but I just can't go without letting you guys know this keyboard is the first really thin keyboard that I've enjoyed a lot I've gone from a Logitech G 19 and other thick chunky keyboards like that to a nice thin chiclet style keyboard and I really like this Apple keyboard for that reason so good job apple with the form factor also this keyboard has touted impressive battery life I've had it for about a week which isn't long enough to kill the battery but it's so far so good also I now that I think about it the Apple rechargeable batteries probably make a really good companion to this hardware so to summarize and I know Dave if you're watching this you've probably had this keyboard and can empathize the pros include an incredibly thin form factor a decent battery life a range of function keys and really good looks but this keyboard is lacking in just a few areas as I found that the size for big handed people possibly can be a potential problem and pairing over bluetooth is really hit and miss I'm also using it on a PC leaves me wanting the full experience Mac os10 here I come I'm kidding either way this has been an mkbhd video review of the Apple keyboard for the geeky noise video contest be sure to like it thanks for watching peace you
