According to Amazon the keyboard weight is 522g.

Making the Macbook Air 11" the lighter option.

That is the boxed weight for shipping.

I have the wireless keyboard (the older three-AA revision) and it's comparatively lighter than my 7" Tab, which is 380 g.

edit: Charlie Stross says 325 g for a four-AA revision in http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2010/05/ipad-wri.... Macworld says 323 g in http://www.macworld.com/article/150600/2010/04/ipadwhichkeyb...

My Apple wireless keyboard (model A1314) has 2 AAs, have there really been that many revisions?

I don't personally recall the four-AA revision. Wikipedia links to Apple's press release http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2003/09/16Apple-Introduces-W... which confirms four AAs.

My keyboard, bought in November 2008, part number MB167LL/A, definitely takes three.

Current revision available on Apple's website is MC184LL/B and that one is well known to only require two.
