I've looked on Google but none of the answers I can find are straightforward, they're all geeky stuff about Apps and games and will it send my flight SIM into orbit etc, I just want to type on it!

A bluetooth keyboard from my local Chinese store cost the immense sum of twelve euros the week before last.It works with every device I have - Android phones, peee cee and the new screw-on-the-wall Acer micro PC I bought from Morgan in the UK. It be not worth the trouble farting around with strange fruity devices.

Thanks, both!
I love the build quality and feel of Apple products but not the OS. I tend to pound keyboards specially WHEN I GET CROSS AND SHOUT and then my OH complains about the noise ........ so I thoan Apple KB would be a good solution.

the apple keyboard is infuriating some times.
it lacks a delete key. the delete is a backspace key.
it lacks a numeric keypad.
the quality is good though.

I'm in love with mine!
Lovely solid feel, it takes up less than half the space on my desk that my old MS one took up.
It has a numeric keypad (some don't).
Agree with you about the delete key, bloody annoying.
Also it's a US keyboard so I have to change the mapping and use the ALT+ keys to do € and £ but you get used to it, and the @ is not where I'm used to it, etc, but my old laptop had a Swiss keyboard which supported all the character sets of all four Swiss languages it was a real nightmare.

Anybody wanting a good solid keyboard, and is willing to pay for it might consider one of these.
They are supposed to as good as the original IBM ones.
The IBM typewriter plant was in Lexington, Kentucky and I suspect that some of the know how and people might have migrated to this company.
