No numlock?
I see instead it has a CLEAR key.. and that it only has one LED light hole.

So the numpad only works as numbers?

Typical for Mac numpad layouts.

Too bad they didn't go all the way and go for the short + and a dedicated = key next to Clear.

which key switches are they using? cherrys or the other one?

The bullet list uses the same wording as the 4C, so even if the current boards aren't using Greetech switches, they're leaving the door open. Honestly I expect this to be the norm from now on. Cherry Corp could use the competition.

Hmm, no Bluetooth after all.

To be honest, I thought there already was an Apple version of the Das. I don't even really see why an Apple version matters that much.

They could have at least made it white.

Apple is multi cultural now.
Take the iPhone for example
Black for boring people.
Gray for the aliens
Gold for the narcissists

I'm one of those odd Mac users and I'm genuinely excited for this keyboard. Irrationally excited just like how I feel towards all of my other two Apple products - my iMac and my iPhone. I hope they fixed the QC issues with the keyboard especially for the blue switches not being all clicky. Hopefully they are using genuine MX switches.

Wow. So much work must have gone into this amazing new board.

Removing 2 LED's and changing the scancodes and keycaps for 6 keys.. I'm sooo impressed.
Buying more keycaps,
it really hacks my wallet,
but I must have them.

Don't forget swapping out the Cherry switches for Greetechs.

To be fair though Mac has a new switch so that's okay!
Consistency =P
