New Keyboard Rumors

Posted by Stretch | Filed under Apple, Blogs, Gadgets, Rumors

Engadget has posted pictures of a new keyboard rumored to be the next keyboard from Apple.

It looks alot like the MacBook keyboard, and I very much like the style, but I’m not quite convinced that this is real, and if it is, why did Apple do some of the stuff it did?

Given the above, I’d give this, oh, a 75% chance of being a developmental version of the new Apple keyboard. I’d say there’s very little chance this keyboard will ship in this form.

There are too many unknowns here. Why move the volume keys over the middle, when it fits fine above the numberpad on the current keyboard?

    Man, if this one is real, I sooooooo want one! Mine is driving me insane with hard to hit keys. I keep my keyboard clean so that isn’t the problem. dtravis7 also finds his to be a pain in the ass.

    I like the design, but not the changes to the F-keys.

    I admit that would take some getting used to. I get so totally confused when I look at my partner’s iBook keyboard.

    Yeah, I had trouble working on a friends MacBook the other day. Kept hitting the wrong keys. I think I’ll get the wireless edition if they don’t put symbols on the F-keys, and don’t move the volume and eject keys from over the keypad.
