- I had the RevB keyboard replacement, and the differences are subtle if any.
- Unfortunately I have to work from memory of what the old one looked like.
-
- (1) The space bar is relatively straight across in RevB, whereas in
- the original the space bar had a curve to it. I am not very confident
- that this is correct, but that was my impression.
-
- (2) Looking down into the keyboard, the gap between the lower edge of
- the space-bar, enter, escape keys etc.. you can see down past the grey
- rubber mat that is under the keys. In the old version, the grey mat
- went all the way to the edge. But this could just be a difference of
- how the fitting was done.
-
- All in all I would say that the RevB is a minor improvement over my
- old one. My advice to currently plauged owners is to wait until Apple
- really gets it fixed with a Rev? keyboard.
-
- Other than that blasted keyboard, I really like the machine, but that
- is like saying, other than the blasted wings falling off, I really
- like the airplane.
-
- Its not that bad, but it needs fixing. btw, do the 160's have the
- same problems?
