Strengths: Like all Apple designs simplistic and looks great.
Small and compact.
Works with windows XP.
Weaknesses: Does not have all the keys required for a PC keyboard such as the print screen and scroll lock.
Summary: I bought the apple key board because I have always envied apple products for their design, however, I am strictly a PC person. After learning the apple Keyboard works with windows XP I figured this was my opportunity.
The keys have a very nice feel, the keystrokes are quiet and typing on it is a pleasure.
The immediate problems of using this keyboard with windows XP is that you lose the "print screen" key which I'll need to find a workaround for.
Long term I am a bit worried about the white keys getting dirty like the display one in the shop....

Strengths: looks good, quiet keystrokes, has volume control, has cd eject
Weaknesses: none
Summary: I could of used my regular pc keyboard for my mac but decided to buy a real one because of the built in access to volume control and cd eject. Not a bad price for what I got

Strengths: Compact size w/o being too small. Keys easy to use.
Weaknesses: N/A
Summary: I am very happy with keyboard. Have purchased non-Apple equipment in past and have not been satisfied. A keyboard becomes very personal after a very short time. This one is so close to the original received with my iMac that it is hard to remember it is not the original.

Strengths: 109 keys, 2 USB ports, simplicity, functional & slim design
Weaknesses: No black keyboard
Summary: 2005-03-13 20:23:27 I bought this to replace my aging Pro Keyboard. It's slimmer than Pro Keyboard yet it has one more function key — only one, but one extra key can get you five more shortcuts ;-). The color is great, but I dig black keys better.
The body of this keyboard is sitting inside a white base, which is placed inside a clear plastic 'tray' (for lack of better words). I popped some of the keys off and found the white base is tightly closed, making it easy for you to clean this baby up since it leaves no room for particles to get into the keyboard.
The Feels
Despite its cold and rigid looks, the keys are soft to the touch but not squishy or hyper-sensitive. It just feels perfect to my fingers. The main pad (the area that contains 'qwerty' keys) is as symmetrical as a keyboard can be, making it easy for both hands to reach control keys and spacebar. It's also a big plus if you're slightly obsessive-compulsive like me.
The numpad and extended pad (the one that contains arrow keys and other navigation keys) neatly placed side by side.
Extras
The keyboard has a 3 feet USB cable sticking out of it. This is great if you have a monitor that has USB ports. If you don't, worry not, it also comes with a 3 feet USB extension cable. Just like Pro Keyboard, there are two USB ports on the back side of the keyboard. Great for connecting your mouse and digital camera.

Strengths: Volume and Eject Key, Mac Labelled Command key, good tactile feel
Weaknesses: White can get dirty
Summary: This keyboard acts as my main keyboard for my iBook when at home. I like the feel of both keyboards, but the separate keys for volume and eject on the Apple Keyboard are great. The keys feel responsive and have a good touch. Even if you hit the space bar on an edge, it doesn't feel unsturdy but equally balanced which is much better than some of the ultra-cheap keyboards on the market. The numeric pad is another good feature. The Apple Keyboard is also compact for a full sized keybard and doesn't waste any space.
The white keyboard is the only drawback. The keys can get dirty easily.

Strengths: Quiet, durable, extra USB ports.
Weaknesses: White keys get dirty easily.
Summary: I have used this apple keyboard with my G5 dual CPU Power MAC. It is quiet and responsive. The keyspacing is little different from PC keyboards, but you will get use to it after few days of use. I wish it has black key version as well, since it gets dirty easily. It will be even better if the keys are backlighted.

Strengths: quiet keys, 2 usb ports, volume and eject keys
Weaknesses: white key will get dirty
Summary: This is one of the better keyboards I have used. Id suggest that buyers get the touch pro if people are worried about getting the keyboard wet. Also there is no Num Lock so you cant use the number pad to scroll.

Strengths: Design, Feel, Compatibility
Weaknesses: None
Summary: I love this keyboard. To me a keyboard is very personal and it has to feel right. What I like best about this keyboard is the feel of the keys when you type. They are ultra quiet and feel really good.
Another great feature of this keyboard is the fact that I can run it in Win XP. I just plugged it into the USB port on my computer and that was it.
I would highly recommend this keyboard. My typing skills have improved and I no longer get pains in my hands from having to hit the keys so hard.
