About Jeffrey
I’ve probably typed more words on this keyboard than on any other. I used one for years with my iPad, then used them with my iMacs. It’s a small, lightweight, minimal but functional keyboard. These Apple keyboards don’t have a numeric keypad, which can be handy, but they are incredibly light to carry around. My only problem has been the huge number of AA batteries I’ve been going through the last few years. Both from an ecological and financial point of view, I needed a change.

And that brings us to today. With my new iMac, I decided to skip the wireless option, skip the dropped Bluetooth connections and low battery alerts and go retro with a wired keyboard and mouse. Boy, am I glad I did. This new (2015) Apple keyboard is the most minimal piece of equipment I own. It’s much slimmer than the wireless, since it needs no batteries.

The most minimalist keyboard I’ve ever used, it feels like a thin slab on your desk. It has a silky feel that’s delightful, and although I may be kidding myself, it feels appreciably faster than my old keyboard.
Stroking, Not Banging!
Here’s a story: A few years ago I headed down to the Apple store to complain about the Apple Wireless keyboard I was using at the time. I found an older woman who worked there and told her how the keyboard hurt my fingers, and did they have anything else?
She looked at me for a minute, then asked, “Did you learn to type on a manual?”
“Sure,” I said.
“That’s your problem,” she said. “You’re banging on the keys, because that’s what you learned on those big metal typewriters. These keyboards aren’t made to be banged on.”
“No?”
“No. Try tapping the keys. Even better, try stroking them. Don’t bang them and your fingers won’t hurt!”
And, of course, she was right. I’m trying, really I am. Although old habits die hard, I want you to know that my new Apple Magic keyboard really rewards stroking.
Writers should appreciate their keyboards. They are the workhorses that allow us to transmit our words and ideas. Here I sit in my office in San Rafael, tapping away these words for you.

We’re going to dive into all of these questions and more throughout this article. But first, let’s start with the basics.
First, the main difference between a piano and keyboard is that the piano is an acoustic instrument that is made of many strings that, like a guitar or any other stringed instruments, must be tuned and maintained on a regular basis. Keyboards (and in the case of this particular example, I’m lumping keyboards and digital pianos together in one bunch) are electric variants of this acoustic instrument that don’t require much upkeep aside from light cleaning and possibly updating or adding software.
Keyboards can easily play virtually any style of music ranging from classical, jazz, blues, and contemporary music. It is more difficult to play varying styles outside of classical compositions on an acoustic piano because they do not come with equipment, pre-set sounds or transposing functions. In fact, you really have to be a wiz to come up with something funky or prolific outside of the realms of classical music when playing on a traditional piano.
