Wireless Keyboard with Numeric keypad? why doesn't Apple make one?

Why doe Apple only have 1 Wireless Keyboard without a numeric keypad and not 2 one with a numeric keypad and one without? because i believe they would have a number of costumers willing to buy a wireless Apple keyboard with a numeric keypad on the right like the wired Apple keyboard.

Why doesn't Apple make a wireless keyboard with a numeric keypad???

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.5), numeric keypad

Well, I got so freakin tired to typing numbers on the short keyboard that I finally just bought the wired one. While it's not as elegant as a wireless board, having the keypad and home and end keys is worth it to me. Fifty bucks for old tech! Sheesh. But I am happy again.


I've been wondering whether wireless can't manage the extra code that the keypad and full function of a complete keyboard is the reason Apple stuck us with the short wirelress board. In any event I'm happy with my new fully functional keyboard and the wire hasn't caused me any undue stress. 🙂


Recommended for those of us who do a lot of analysis or simply type a lot of numbers.

I agree, Apple please build and sell a bluetooth keyboard exactly like the wired keyboard. One that has a numeric keypad on the right.


Also, while I'm at it. I absolutely despise the "function" key found at the lower left corner of Apple keyboards.


3 buttons for my left pinky to navigate, perfect.

4 buttons for my left pinky to navigate, too many.


No matter how much time I spend with these keyboards, I still fumble around trying to make sure my pinky lands on Control instead of Function, or Option instead of Control. As a Logic 9 user this is important a big waste of time for me.
