New Apple Keyboard… Why???

keyboard-official-1jpgAlong with the desktop updates, Apple also released a new keyboard that comes by default on the new iMacs. The problem with this keyboard is that it’s designed just like the bluetooth keyboard, except for having a cable and two side USB ports. That also means its missing a numeric keypad! Thankfully Apple still offers the standard keyboard with numeric keypad as an option for free, but there will be many who order new iMacs unaware of the new keyboard. I already contacted my ordering department to make sure that they check the Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad. Also this seems to only be a default for the iMac, the Mac Pro still comes with the standard keyboard. Not really sure where Apple is going with this one, guess we’ll find out.

    It should just come with the home keys only – just a long strip with asdf jkl;

    I also had a thing for IR keyboards, so we should bring that back, now.
