How do you like your Apple keyboard? I've found it to be "sticky" (when you press the key not quite straight down it refuses to go down). Also it is not very flat or ergonomic as some Logitech or Microsoft keyboards.

However I do like the convexness of the keys in the most bottom row.

Couldn't stand the original Apple USB keyboards, still don't like the current ones much. The old Apple Extended II keyboard was, IMO the best. Would still be in service if I had a functional USB-to-ADB adapter for Tiger.

They mainly sit in my closet. I'm not a fan of their typing 'feel.' Been using Logitech keyboards for a few years now and find them to be superb.

And yes, the Apple Extended II keyboards were awesome. Supposedly, the Matias tactilepro has a similar feel, but can't confirm that firsthand.

I get this a problem alot. It's too bad, because if I didn't, I get the Apple BT keyboard. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any real alternatives out there.
