Customer Review by: david taylor on May 23rd, 2007

I just hooked it up yesterday, and it and Mavis Beacon are already making a super typist of me. The placement of keys is intuitive. Though if you are habituated to the old style, it may take some getting used to. It actually makes you into a typist, even if you don't want to be. If you are an old hunter-pecker as I was, you will soon be a rabid convert, as it automatically makes you into a touch typist working with both sides of the brain. Apple should make this the standard keyboard in its glorious pearl white. Nothing comes near it. It's a barrel of fun, WORTH EVERY PENNY, especially for the typing challenged (I believe that's politically correct). Worth every penny!!! I can't wait till I am more proficient to try the DVORAK layout which is automatically programmed into the keyboard when you want to use it. GO FOR IT, YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT! (Sorry, but I cannot find anything bad to say about it.)
