David Nahmani Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 The pictures have been making the rounds on the internet this morning. Looks like a MacBook keyboard... and looks like the next iMacs will be brushed aluminum, as previously reported by various rumor sites. Interesting! It leaves me wondering if Apple is flattening control surfaces such as the keyboard, to progressively transition users to a flat touch-screen keybaord? Now that would be niiiiice.

musick Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Looks nice! I like my MacBook keyboard, so this would be right for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Huh-oh... fake? All the picures linked are showing different key arrangements!! first two pictures have a command key that says "command" but no Apple. Last two pictures look like Mac Book Pro pictures, with a function key and some other key next to Command, and the tiny arrow keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkgross Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 there's just no telling until it shows up on the apple site. I'm not a big fan of the 'raised' keys on the keyboards of the new MacBooks They just feel kinda weird to me...I prefer the ones on my MPB...

masturfader Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 yea, i wouldnt mind a fullsize version of the MBP keyboard. I love me some backlit keys, very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterboy Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Interesting .... but I must say that I like the keyboard that came with my G4 ... the main thing that I like is how the "F" keys are split into four's .... meaning F1-F4, then a sapce - then F5-F8 and so on. That wasy I don't have to look at the keyboard, rather just feel it out. But this would be very cool (the above picture) ... especially if has backlit keys ... very nice!

Subtonic Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I think it's fugly. It looks like the keyboard we have now, flattened, and Photoshopped onto a piece of metal. Although it looks like it's much easier to clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
