Hey, I just bought my first iMac and have a couple questions for you guys. My IOS is running 10.7.4, it's the most current one but it doesn't say Lion, is this Lion or should I pay the $30 and upgrade? Secondly, switching from a PC to a Mac, this keyboard is very difficult getting used to, specifically, the shift key being so far over. Does anyone have any advice on a good Mac compatible keyboard that has a bigger shift key?

Thanks for the advice!

Do me a favor. Go to the Apple menu, and click About This Mac. Then all at once press Command+Shift+4. Your cursor will change to a cross with dimensions next to it. Press the space bar. Click on the About This Mac window. It will save a screenshot of that window. I'm confused by what your OS X is reporting as.

Also where did you buy it from? 10.7.4 isn't even in Developer Preview yet.

My bad, it is OS 10.7.3. Sorry!

Bigger than what? Apple's keyboards have pretty normal-sized shift keys.

If you're coming from, say, one of Dell's hideous PS/2 back stock keyboards they foist on economy-line buyers, you're really not going to find anything like that here in the 21st century.

Hell, several of Logitech's keyboards have smaller shift keys than Apple's.

I've used PCs for 15+ years and have never had an issue with the shift key before. Everytime I try and push the shift I get the / button instead.

Maybe I just need to get used to it? It's definitely the US keyboard.
