Less wires. More freedom.
SETUP AND BLUETOOTH PARING Just like all Bluetooth devices, this keyboard needs to be paired with your computer before it will work properly. If this is your first Bluetooth device, don't worry pairing the keyboard to your Mac is easy. Just open System Preferences and select the Bluetooth Assistant (Applications > System Preferences > Bluetooth). You are prompted to choose a device, then when it finds it, you need to type a unique number sequence and that's it, its paired.
SECURITY Anytime you go wireless, one of your first concerns should be security. You never know who is snooping and trying to capture your sensitive information as it travels through the air. This keyboard has a robust 128-bit over-the-air encryption that keeps sensitive information safe as it is being typed.
INTERFERIENCE Apple is the first to deliver intelligent software to prevent interference with Airport wireless networks without any performance degradation.
For some reason the Wireless Pro Keyboard has an F16 key. Most Apple keyboards only have 15 F keys. The extra F key can be useful if you like to program macros into your F keys. The keyboard also has a full numeric keypad, document navigation keys, and an inverted-T for quickly zipping up, down and sideways in a game or a spreadsheet. Conveniently located audio controls and the ability to eject optical media are also included.
BATTERIES Because a wireless keyboard can't draw power from the USB port, it has to use batteries. One of my friends at work has a non Apple keyboard and mouse that eats through batteries like Fat Bastard at a baby eating contest. But Apple has an advanced power management system that automatically switches to low power modes during periods of inactivity. This helps you make sure you get the most juice out of your batteries. An off switch allows you to conserve even more power when you know you're going to be away from your system for an extended period (it's about time you took a vacation anyway). Also note that Apple ships the Wireless Pro Keyboard with 4 premium Energizer E2 Titanium AA batteries.
WIRELESS FREDOM The full-size, yet compact wireless keyboard takes up very little space on the desktop and easily fits on a user's lap. The Apple Wireless Pro Keyboard is the perfect addition to any office or living room that wants all the attention on monitors and not on the wires.
