Are these keyboards different then the ones that came with iMacs last October? They look exactly like mine.

The one keyboard to rule them all is the Contoured. It will ruin you for all other keyboards.

I went with the wired keyboard. I would really miss the dedicated cursor keys in upside down T formation that the wireless keyboard lacks.

I like this keyboard a lot, especially the ease of cleaning. The keyboard has gotten a lot of heavy use (especially from the children in games), but it is functioning perfectly almost one year after the purchase.

I am still getting used to mine and am typing a bit slower. But I bought it in part because it's the coolest dern thing (in addition to reading some enthusiastic reviews). Is that total fanboy or what?

Same here - I went from a high travel ms keyboard to one of these (sort of a skeptical trial), then in about a day decided I liked it so much that I'd picked up a couple of more for home & a spare / second language (Spanish).

I particularly like the fact that that the lower angle to the surface is much easier on the hands, particularly during long sessions.

Easy on the hands, accurate, smaller footprint, looks good - what's not to like?

The greatest honor I can stow on any keyboard, in my opinion, is to buy extra ones to ensure, should the manufacturer discontinue them, I would have more. I have two backups of the current Apple keyboard in my storage right now.
