Sorry that i don't want to give cash to a company that not only lies to me, gives me inferior products, then over charges by more than 100%.

So, Your saying it is lame for promoting Apple Products on an Apple website? LMAO!

You have no idea what your talking about sir. Meet Logic Studio http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/

The most user friendly, universal, Digital Audio Workstation that exists in Audio production. I use it for all my Audio production/post production needs. Why? Cause its cheaper and it doesn't fuck up, like many other DAW's that I've used. Not to mention The MIDI Capabilities are far superior to any other DAW you can find.

One of the reason Apple charges so much (besides there name) is that they make very high quality parts, sure I can order a piece of junk mouse or keyboard for less than 5 bucks. I can buy a decent quality set for $20+. But apple components are damn high quality. I have crates of old computer parts, mostly PC. The few Mac parts I have are still just as viable as they were 10 or 15 years ago (except magnetic storage of course). But the PC parts are shot, their wires crumble and crack, the images on the monitors are bad if at all visible, the keys stick or modulate negatively, etc. But those apple parts are hanging in there just fine.

Apple is known for their high quality parts. That is one reason they cost so much. I am a PC guy, but Mac stuff is great, and if it were more well supported and cheaper I would buy it.

Your argument that they make inferior products does not hold much water in my experience. I will research it though because I am interested. I have never investigated it very far, assuming the proof is in the pudding.

I still support PC just because it is cheaper and more broadly supported, but my understanding for the last 20 years has been Apple = higher quality components.

I know the G15 is very nice, and specific to gamers.

Is the Apple wireless keyboard really "crappy and flimsy?"

I read several reviews and they are all positive. This thing is incredibly thinand portable. It serves a completely different purpose than the G15. And it is very high quality according to:

Newegg, mostly positive revies, not many reviews total though:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ple-_-23101005 Look at those pics, this thing is incredibly thin.

http://www.thetechlounge.com/article...less+Keyboard/ I dont know much about this site, but the author appears to know his stuff IMO.

http://reviews.cnet.com/keyboards/ap...-30568482.html CNET gives it 8/10, cons are not flimsy, but laggy keystrokes.

I am looking at a few other revies and they are all positive to outstanding. And many PC owners bought it for their PCs!

Again, it is a totally diferent purpose keyboard than th G15, one is for gaming, and the other for portability. This apple keyboard is VERY nice.

I still insist, Apple makes damn high quality equipment. No one who actually used this keyboard called it flimsy. Some actually commented on it's stiffness despite being near paper thin.

I do second Soys opinion on Apples High Quality! I have had apples since I was a kid, I have macs from the 80's that kick right over on the first maybe second try every time! Their parts are heavy-duty and designed to last. We had 30 Mac G4's at school that had 3 periods of use a day with 25 kids a day at 180 days a year for 5 years! These things were still working when I was their at the end of the year, I had to fix one or two because of dead batteries etc. Other then that these things will last you 10x longer then anything, The only thing I ever had close to it were some of the Dells, I have a dell keyboard that I stopped using because I bought a G15. The dell keyboard is 15 years old, I bought it from a place that uses these things for 8 hours a day 5 days a week! It was 5 or so years old when I got it. All of this adds up. My Compaq laptop keyboard is falling apart after 3 years. I personally am a PC guy but love mac quality!
