I love the trackpad on the MBA. It is almost like touch screen. That being said I also own and love my iPad. Glad I own both.

Siska - my newest one just broke last week. Less than 6 months old. Losing count of how many this makes that I've shelled out good money for. Brand new each. I'm looking....I may be a fool, but I'm thinking of trying the wireless. Doubt it will be much better - Apple doesn't seem much interested in making decent, reliable keyboards or mouse for their MacBook Pro ---- and considering how much they both cost, why would they want to stop gouging the customers now when there is money to be made? I'll write a review when I get a wireless. I will warn you, however: I once tried a non-Apple wireless system, and it destroyed my macbook pro. I mean....ate it up. I had to send it away for serious repair.

The link is back up. Can anyone comment on the Mac drivers? I'm thinking about buying one of these if it works well.

My macbook pro is running osx 10.8.4. The short answer is yes. it does work. The numbers, tab, operators, and enter keys work right out of the box. Just plug it in. To get the num lock and alt functions to work. i.e. the direction arrows, pgup, pgdn, ins, del I down loaded the free keyremap4macbook app. The preferences are set 'for pc user'&gt;use keypad arrow&gt;use clear key to toggle keypad as arrow. And 'use pc style pageup/pagedown' then is works just like a built in keypad on a keyboard. I only have the program running when im using the keypad. The cord is very short. like 29 inch which barely reaches the right side of the computer if your right handed. Seems pretty well made and is comfortable to use.

Digital keypad. Works quite well. Haven't tested with a disaster yet! Hopefully won't. So can't speak to how well the fire/water works.

Not sure as I have still been leaving this trackpad tied to the USB port on my Mac. Sorry.

I use it with a Dell PC via USB port - no personal experience with a MacBook. However, I believe that the reference to "works only with freestyle products" refers to the accessories, like the keypad.

These people say: Yes -- http://xforcepc.com/store/index.php/catalog/product_compare/index/ I'm still searching for more info though, because I had a gamepad that worked fine when Mac was 32-bit but now OS 10.7.5 is 64-bit and that gamepad driver no work anymore. I'll see what I can find out from CH and maybe more from link provided.

Yup, works great! I have a new Dell with W8, I disabled the touchpad (just my preference)& it works from a couple o'feet away. I agree with official reviews that this wireless mouse is about the best. Installs just about instantly after plugging in the wireless USB sender.

Hi, My mac book pro was purchased in 2010, but appears to have the same keypad as the 2009. I have 6 skins for under $11.00, which for me is awesome, as here in Canada they are $25.00 each. This seller could not have been better to me, they sent to friends in Seattle, no problem. IF you would like me to send you a skin, I would be glad to put into the mail for you.

I currently have a Toshiba NB205-230 and the keys feel good, soft, and very quiet. My only complaint with the one a bought is Win7starter, but that is easily fixed. Even for what I used it for, which was long distance communication and holding data it was a great help to me.

It uses blue switches. I saw it on Kinesis website. I also own a blue switch keyboard and they feel identical to this keypad. I believe the similar freestyle 2 keypad uses brown switches. the freestyle 2 keypad almost feel non mechanical. Good thing about those keys is no sound and still feels pretty good. I prefer the non freestyle 2 keypad better. Both good products

You should call costumer service or you can do your research for when apple changed their keyboard design for the air. I got mine in 2013 and the design was the old design. Hope my information is useful!

Touchpad is very good. Power cord...well, its long and does the job. Its not designed like Apple or anything. But, you overlook that when you think about that a computer that is 3x more powerful than comparable Apple is 50% less at least. Power cord wasn't considered when I purchasing. :)

The Sharkk key board works perfectly using bluetooth on my Macbook Pro with retina display. Highly recommend!
