I received this today after only ordering it yesterday. I got it
directly from Apple.
It was very easy to set up. Just press the one and only large round
button on the top right hand side to put it in pairing or discovery
mode. Then on my iPhone 4 I went to settings, bluetooth, bluetooth to
turn it on. While in there the keyboard was detected and was marked not
paired. I thus double tapped on the keyboard and it started to connect.
I was then asked to type the pairing code onto my keyboard then press
the return key. The pairing then completed and was successful.
It is extremely responsive and comfortable to type on. The keys are
raised and large enough for me. Basically if you have a standard mac or
PC keyboard, then you should be right at home. Only with this keyboard
your control key is the second key in from the bottom left, along with,
in this order, option and command, which replaces alt and windows
respectively. This is exactly the same on a Macbook/Macbook Pro/Macbook
Air keyboard.
I was able to update my status on Facebook and Twitter directly from the
keyboard, as well as navigate my iPhone 4. I was even able to remove
apps from the app switcher directly from the keyboard. I can also
control media playback if I wish.
Now my advice is if you are going to be away from it for some time,
press and hold the one and only large round button on the top right hand
side for about 4 seconds. This will completely switch off the keyboard.
Now providing bluetooth is still on, the next time you press the above
button, they will be automatically paired. Not sure what would happen if
I turn the keyboard off and then turn bluetooth off.
Hope this is a good review of the amazing Apple Wireless Keyboard. It
was certainly worth the 60.
