Apple almost snuck this one past us, but friendly tipster Graham spotted the change-up: Apple has swapped out the standard wired Apple Keyboard for a new model lacking a numeric keypad. It’s the same design as the wireless model<\/a>, which also lacks a numeric keypad, except that this one has USB plugs on each end, and a cord of its own snaking towards your otherwise immaculate desktop. The good news is that the regular keyboard hasn’t gone anywhere, you just have to make sure to configure your new purchase with it when you order — it’s a free ‘upgrade.’ Inversely, the Mac Pros still ship with the regular keyboard, but you can get ’em numpad-free if you’d like, for a similar zero cost. We’re not sure what game you’re at, Apple, but if you’re trying to make us forget all those maths we struggled so hard to comprehend back in the day… well, OK, you win. Another straight-on shot of the keyboard is after the break.<\/p>\n
