It's decent -- used to use it with my old "cheese grater" Mac Pro (until I replaced that machine with the MacBook Pro). The Apple keyboard relies on a scissor-switch mechanism, as you probably know. It's certainly better for typing than the MBP keyboard, but I'm interested in using a keyboard with tactile mechanical switches, which many people report makes for an excellent typing experience.
