Seriously. I just bought another MacPro and have a virtually brand new keyboard that came with it, it's the current (well, up until last week) square white model w the clear base. Let me know, thanks! Let me know if you would like to trade keyboards! Seriously.

I really wouldn't mind getting one myself, but I just purchased one of the new MacBooks last month, so it'll be a while before my next big purchase. Bummer about the keyboard. It LOOKS really cool.

PFF, I have one sitting in my room here :) I collect old computers and laughed when I read it. If the new keyboard is anything like that, I will stick to the logitech s530 here.

Are you mad, this is one of the best keyboards ever made (along with Apple's Extended II)! THere are even companies making these in new designs (tactilepro.com). And the company that used to make IBM's keyboard actually still makes them. Not to mention the now famous Das Keyboard which also uses the spring mechanism. They do make a lot of noise, but they type *super* fast and are very comfortable to use! Worst than an IBM chicklet?

It's not nearly as bad as the original IBM PCjr keyboard. I actually had a PCjr, though my one came with the second version of the keyboard, which was more like a soft-touch keyboard, though missing the numeric keypad. It didn't have function keys either, you had to hold a "Fn" modifier key and use the numbers 1 through 0 to do F1 through F10. Actually, if I recall, arrow keys, insert, delete, pageup, pagedown were done with the Fn modifier as well. It was like a laptop keyboard before laptops really existed. It was actually wireless (infrared), but it didn't work very well if the keyboard was more than a foot away from the front of the machine.

You could then use the money to buy the keyboard you want (I mean, you just bought a computer, why not be 100% happy with it!). At the moment I am very jealous, but I am waiting until that puppy comes preloaded with Leopard. Then I will smile :) You should sell the keyboard in Ebay.
