Apple Keyboard! Woot! Woot!

Yeah Yeah.
So the new Apple keyboard arrived while I was at work today — in a Massive box. I didn't even think it was the keyboard at first. Then under all the useless packaging paper there was a smaller cardboard box. Inside that box was the actual keyboard box.
The first thing I noticed when I opened the package was how incredibly small it was. Much smaller than it looks in photos. I eagerly hooked it up to the QuadCore MacPro at work and tested it out. The keys are very smooth. It does feel alot like typing on a laptop keyboard. At first it was a little awkward. The keys are so flat that your not sure if you're gonna press the right one. But after a while it begins to get more comfortable and you just love using the keyboard.
Next I intstalled the keyboard update that apple provided for the new Multimedia keys across the top. After a quick reboot the keys were working very nicely and I had shifted through a few tracks in itunes rather quickly. These keys are very nice, although it did make the iTunes Triggers in Quicksilver a little redundant. I rather enjoyed that part about quicksilver.
This keyboard will be an excellent replacement to the clunky logitech keyboard I was using.
