| if you don't want to spend $100 for the happy hacking keyboard, this is the one to get. cheap and have the best key layout in my opinion. all the keys are not scaled down to fit a mini keyboard, they are the same size a full size keyboard.
for $13, this is bang for the buck
| | Best keyboard I ever used |
| I love the small size of this keyboard. No keypad, but that's my favorite feature! I never use the keypad anyway and smaller width is more important to me. This keyboard has the solid pre-Y2K feel that I'm used to. The keys are positioned like a REAL computer, instead of a tweaked wimpy laptop keyboard pretending to be a desktop. The keys can take a pounding too. After 10 months of daily use, all the keys still work just fine. If you are a touch typist, it feels very comfortable. To me, it has the old school feel of an electric typewriter or VT100 terminal keyboard. The small size makes it convenient if you have multiple keyboards on your desk. It even makes a good keyboard for a server rack. I give this keyboard 3 thumbs up for it's small size and durability! It works pretty good with Mac and Linux too. I plan to buy another one for the barebones computer I'm building next week.
| | This is a piece of junk. I bought it to replace a keyboard with a broken key. I am back to the broken key keyboard. The A4Tech keys all stick. The tab key was especially erksome. Personally, the enter key is in the wrong spot on the A4Tech keyboard. I kept using the keyboard hoping I would get used to the Enter key placement but never did and the Tab key was hopeless.
| | They completely ruined this keyboard |
| They originally had the enter key long and vertical. Now they have made it the shape of an L and moved it to the right. I constantly hit the \ key instead of the enter key. It was sweet before they changed this, now it's useless.
| | Best "happy hacker" style keyboard out there |
| I picked up this keyboard about three years ago, and has been in my laptop bag ever since. I'm a huge fan, and am looking to pick up a few more.
To be honest, this is the best keyboard I've ever owned. The action on the keys is is excellent, the size and key placement is perfect, and the finish on the keys is just flat comfortable. After all these years, its still going strong, I use it every day. No keyboard feels better to my fingertips. It can really take the punishment. It even stands up to my toddler's abuse when she plays her games with it!
For the price, it absolutely can't be beat. I would recommend this to anyone.
