...for a new keyboard, cause damn, this new Apple keyboard really, really blows.

Anyone here had the displeasure of using it? Who the hell designed this thing?

IMO, Ciper's right. the keys don't feel as good. Kinda "spongey" in comparison. You'd probably notice it more while touch-typing.

Haven't used it yet (I'm now calling my reseller to see if it's in) but I will miss my Apple Extended II keyboard. Probably the best keyboard I've ever used...

What a way of cheapening the Mac experience

At least don't call them "PRO" keyboard and "PRO" mouse.

The new Apple keyboard. Comes with the G5, eMac, etc.

It's truly horrid. I'll get some photos tomorrow.
