Do the keys on this keyboard get dirty as easily as the wireless keyboard that comes with the late 2013 iMac?

Not visibly dirtier - the keys are glossy on this keyboard unlike the Mac keyboard, which has matte keys.

The keys are made from a similar material so I'd guess that they both will be susceptible to dirt about the same. After nine months, mine shows no visible dirt. Using a damp cloth ought to keep the keys on both keyboards looking good. I'd also recommend avoiding eating Cheesy Poofs when when you are using any keyboard.

Not sure about the keyboard you referenced, but after six months this one is holding up great. My office tends to attract dust, and it all seems to collect on the solar panel. I keep the non-abrasive cloth that came with the keyboard handy, and gently wipe off as needed. As for the keys getting dirty, they don't seem to be dirty at all, but I agree with Brent - avoid the Cheesy Poofs while typing!

I own two of these: one for my work PC and one for my home Mac laptop. I LOVE THEM. I find they generally stay pretty clean, better than my apple wireless keyboard at work. I clean it by turning off the keyboard, and wiping it with a soft, moist cloth. Every 6 months, I use a can of compressed air on my laptop keyboard and the wireless keyboard to get out any dirt beneath the keys.

I am sorry I cannot help you. I bought it for a gift and I have no idea how it is working out.

The keys ar not glossy, but the rest of the keyboard is. That is the only thing I'm unhappy about with mine. I don't have any white blotches, but it shows fingerprints and dust. I'm still extremely happy with mine, though. The great typing experience outweighs having to clean it periodically.

I don't seem to have this problem. My keyboard works great and isn't squishy.

I haven't had any scratching. For my use it protects the iPad quite adequately, however, I am a very careful and gentle user for the most part, so can't speak to rougher use. I like this keyboard very much and would highly recommend it.

My wife actually uses this keyboard and she likes it very much. She was a secretary and used to a Selectric. I don't remember any problem installing it but I think there is a switch that you flip if you are using it on a Mac. The instructions were adequate and no problem with installation. After you select IMac on the switch it was plug and play. I use a MACALLY keyboard on my IMac which cost about a third of the Matias Tactile pro and would recommend it but they are hard to find. It does not have the same feel as the Matias but still much better than the toy wireless board that comes with the IMAC. My wife actually uses this keyboard and she likes it very much.

It has a delete key just like a mac that deletes from the right to left (marked delete) and then it also has a true delete key that is marked delete (but has a x icon) near the function and pg up, pg dn home and end. It is a very nice keyboard and in my opinion about 90% as elegant as the apple wireless one. However the solar charging and inumeric keypad make it the better option. If apple made a wireless keyboard with number pad I'd buy it today, until they do.... this is the perfect keyboard for me.

I don't really know - but in the first 2-3 times it cleans pretty good but after that it's kind if hard to get in of the keyboard. Well you get that you pay for:) don't leave it on any kind of fabric cause it's gets into it.

Yes, similar to detached Apple iMac keyboards. Has good feel to keys, not a cheap feel. I am happy with this keyboard which I have now used for over 6 months. I read many complaints about space bar but have had no problems myself. Touchpad works great, I think earlier reported problems were software related, I've had no problems.

My keyboard has been going strong for over a year, works just like new still and I love it. I use my keyboard every day for 8+ hrs, so it is not lack of use that is keeping it in good condition.

I had no problem with the letters wearing out or fading? Had one for 5 years. This is a good key board & mouse combination in my opinion. This is the 3rd one I have bought.

I used a damp wipe -- like a baby wipe or Windex cloth or a screen cleaner thing. I was doing a general cleaning of the keyboard. You do need to pay more attention to keeping this keyboard clean than others, as the keys are low-rise, and if the keyboard gets dusty, there is more problem with getting the shift key to work well. Also, if one of the function keys gets stuck (easy to have happen when the keyboard gets dirty), you get weird things happening, like only being able to type a capital C with the caps lock on.

I have had mine for a while and I have not noticed any warmth in the keyboard. The letters on the keys have not faded or come off. Have not noticed any of the keys sticking at all.All in all I love this keyboard and wish I had gotten it years ago.

I've had mine for over six months and it still hasn't faded or discolored. It's better than your keys on the key board fading. Plus it keeps dust from getting inside the keys too. I love mine:).

It should be fine. I have a similar, quite old (&gt; 5 years old), keyboard that works perfectly with a late 2012 iMac.

Hi Bradley, Sorry about the delay here. I did have to go back and try the keyboard once again to find out what I can share with you. The keys work great. But unlike some of the high-end Logitech keyboard covers, the keys are raised, meaning if you are fastidious like me, it'd bother you to see dirt that would get underneath the keys. Having said that if you keep your cover closed after each use, you should be able to keep them clean for a long time. Hope this helped. Good luck!

I love mine. I haven't taken it off since I got it. I use the keyboard all the time.

The keys seem pretty easy to type to me. It's very similar to Apple's keyboards.
