Great to have a genuine wired Apple Keyboard again!
I have tried 2 wireless 3rd party replacement keyboards and now I'm happy to have bought this wired refurbished model. Why? Because: It is great quality - condition is 'as new' as far as I can tell - and that is top Apple quality not cheap Chinese plastic. Doesn't require a battery. Is full size - you forget how convenient it is having the numeric keyboard and most importantly for me... I was having problems with my Mac and needed to boot it into safe mode using keyboard controls - something I couldn't do with my wireless bluetooth keyboards. OK - It does take up a USB port - but hardwired if an option - surely has to be better for fault finding.

Good value new keyboard but check the keyboard language layout.
For those of us who miss the old wired Apple keyboard this represents good value at about half the price of the new wireless one. HOWEVER be aware that although it is sold as a European layout there are as many different European keyboard layouts as there are countries. This one I found out from the vendor is a Portuguese layout, something that should have been specified in the advert I think. To use it you have to go to System Preferences/Keyboard/Input Sources/add and chose from the list. Input source languages you choose can be displayed and changed in the menu bar - useful if you use an English laptop and a remote keyboard as I do. The layout is QWERTY as usual but the punctuation and symbol layout is different and there is Euro symbol but not Pound sterling.

Good ergonomics, less than wonderful long-term reliability.
Like this keyboard more than any other I've ever used. Primarily because of the small travel distance of the keys. Makes my two-fingered typing almost speedy and reduces number of mis-hit keys for me. Black lettering on white background is more user-friendly in various lighting conditions. It's quiet in use too. Downside is that these appear to break down relatively early in their life, if the number of defective ones on ebay and my personal experience are anything to go by. I'm on my third in 15 years and that's with what i would class as below average usage hours per day.

Better than a wireless keyboard?
Nice and easy to type on, with just the right 'push' to the keys. Being wired it uses up a USB socket and of course the cable is a little unsightly on a tidy desk, but at least it won't let you down with flat batteries at just the wrong time like the wireless ones. A bit 'old school' perhaps but good-looking, reliable and a pleasure to type on.

Classic keyboard. robust service life
I find the wired version of the keyboard seems to have slightly heavier key springs and swill outlast the iMac. Ours are in heavy use in our Architecture studio and we try to get 7 years use per machine. The magic keyboards are only lasting about 3-4 years with the same usage. Incidentally I also dislike the Apple wireless mouse. because it is not a daily charged item, it is a real pain when it runs out of battery as you cannot use it while it is charging.
