Apple Wired Keyboard with Numeric Keypad vs Realforce 87U Tenkeyless

The low profile is comfortable and the traveling distance is short. The keys are light to press, leading to less typing fatigue.

Thanks to its thin aluminum enclosure, this keyboard is sturdy.

Nothing really comes close to the Apple device's aesthetic flair.

Handy for device connection

Since this keyboard is mainstream, many big companies have it. So, if working at a big company, it is likely it is quickly available and for "free".

The low-profile, short-travel construction makes this keyboard more ergonomic than previous Apple keyboards and allows for fast typing because keys have only a small distance to go before registering.

This keyboard is very light and can be easily carried around.

This keyboard is equipped with mechanical Topre switches that offer a pleasant tactile experience that resembles playing the piano thanks to their complicated mechanical design.

Additionally, Topre switched doesn't feel loose or wobbly since the mechanism is actually attached to a rigid plate that is placed above the printed circuit board.

You will not draw your colleagues and members of household insane while working with this keyboard since the Topre switches produce less noise than the traditional mechanical switches like the Cherry MX-Red or MX-Brown.

Thanks to its tenkeyless design the Realforce 87U is very compact and, therefore, doesn't take up too much space in a bag.
