Keyboards (JC)
When you buy a modular Mac, the keyboard usually isn’t included. Most people will
automatically buy an Apple keyboard, even though there are plenty of others on the
market that might suit a particular purpose much better. Here are some hints on what
to look for and which products provide it.
Evaluating Keyboards ( JK/JC)
Keyboards may seem generic, but there are plenty of differences to consider. To do a
worthwhile comparison, use the information here to think about what you want.
Then find a keyboard in a store or catalog that seems to meet your needs. If you can,
try it out, or get a money-back guarantee; you won’t really be able to judge its per-
formance until you’ve used it with your own Mac for awhile.
