*the apple keyboard is a ‘keyboard’ designed by ‘apple incorporated’*
.
(first for the ‘apple computer’ line…)
(…then the ‘macintosh computer’ line)
.
(dozens of models have been released over time)
(including the ‘apple extended keyboard’)
(“should i try it out?“)
(any recommendations?)
.
(there are currently 2 keyboards offered by ‘apple’…)
#1
*a ‘full-sized version’
(using ‘USB’)
.
#2
*the ‘apple magic keyboard’*
(which connects via ‘bluetooth’)
(omits the ‘numeric keypad’ of the ‘full-sized model’)
.
(both share a similar ‘look’ + ‘feel’, based on a very thin ‘aluminum chassis’ + laptop-style ‘low-profile keys’, sitting much closer to the ‘tabletop’ than ‘traditional keyboard designs’)
.
.
(my 2012 macbook butterfly keyboard…)
(the ‘power’ button is in top right corner)
(if you hold down ‘shift’ key while pressing another key, you will trigger the ‘top response’ in keys with multiple functions)
