Cons
Con Uncomfortable typing experience
Like the other Apple chiclet keyboards, it is not meant for touch typing: the switches are mushy and lack the tactile feedback, the keycaps are flat and so is the keyboard profile (not DSA or DCS, just plain ... flat).
Con It's missing some useful keys
It doesn't have dedicated Insert, Home, End, Page Up or Page Down keys.
Con Tenkeyless
This keyboard doesn't have a numeric pad.
Con Works well only with Apple gear
It doesn't work properly with hardware that's not from Apple.
Con No backlight
To save battery life, there is no backlighting.
Con Bluetooth only, no cable
You can not wake your computer up with the keyboard anymore and have to push the power button, because there is no Bluetooth connection while the computer is suspended.
