Exercise Four: An Object you Love, an Object you Hate


This is the newest mac keyboard I love and I use it at school and at home. Accroding to affordance, the keyboard itself is slim and thin so that user can type easily. Thin keys and less gaps avoid dust forming on the keyboard. And also with 2 USB slots which is convience for plugging other devices like mouse or USB flashdrive.


What i like the most about the mac keyboard is the mapping (location) of the command key, which is the same as the Ctrl on PC keyboard. The "Command Key"s are located in the red circle. It is much easier to do short cuts by using a thumb to press the Command key, for example: Copy (command +C), Paste (command+V), Quit (command+Q),Close windows (command+W). It has also the Conventional Constraints features included on the keyboard like the Play, Pause, Fast Forward buttons.



Look at the location of the "Ctrl Key"s. They are located at the bottom left and right which I hate to use them when I do the short cuts, not user friendly. And the keys are too big and gaps all surrounding the keys where dust is easily trapped.
