Can't Beat a Mac Keyboard

Well today I went to Best Buy to go and get me a keyboard to hook up to my Windows 7 laptop. When going to Best Buy I went over to the keyboard section and started testing them all out. I found plenty of them that I liked, with lots of features that I would never use, but they all looked like some kind of Mac Keyboard clone to me.

After some playing around with them I grabbed one and started to walk out of the store. On the way out the Apple section caught my eye. I wandered over there to look around and saw the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard that I have at work.

I love this keyboard. The only drawback to it is that it is expensive, is a battery killer, and it is not a full size keyboard with a number pad. Then the answer to appeared to me, the Apple Keyboard with Numeric Pad.

This keyboard is not a wireless one, but that is just fine with me. I don’t need that anyway. It is a full size keyboard which is great, has the number pad, and also two USB ports on the sides. It was also only 50 bucks, which was cheaper than the one I picked up.

When I got home I plugged it into my Windows 7 laptop, the keyboard was found, and all of the necessary drivers were installed without any issues. Windows 7 actually recognizes the keyboard as a Apple Keyboard and works great. Now I have the keyboard that I have always wanted without having to go out and spend the cash on a Mac.
