| Before I get into the meat and bones of this keyboard, I'd like to say it's amazing. I love the media keys for iTunes, and the easily accessible keys for one-touch web surfing.
Now that the fan-service is over, let me get detailed.
The multimedia hotkeys for iTunes make it easy to open and play your music. You will NEVER have to use your mouse again for opening iTunes. This frees up your mouse hand for multitasking while you groove.
The internet hotkeys are a time saver as well. One-touch: internet browser open. One-touch: email open. You can even go forward or backward a page without the use of the mouse.
For me, the calculator and sticker buttons are a give or take. When I use those functions, they're great and easy to access, but personally I rarely use them.
The ergonomic design is a plus for me. It's very comfortable without being too exaggerated. My arms aren't at an angle that hurts my shoulders; rather, it makes my wrists feel great. But the ergonomic design is more than just the key layout. With the touchpad mouse on the right, and the left/right click on the left of the board, it makes a great handheld keyboard. Move the cursor with your right thumb, click with your left...very convenient. It makes it easy to just sit back and relax.
It has great battery life (a pair of AA's) and will last for weeks without a change.
The only problem I've encountered is that, sometimes, it is difficult to sync the keyboard with the USB receiver. This is mainly due to the fact that, unlike some other wireless keyboards, there is no sync or ID button on the receiver, but just the keyboard itself. It's not a problem I've encountered often, but when I have, I just had to keep pressing the button until it worked.
All in all, it's a great keyboard, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new keyboard. Too bad I can only give it 5 stars.
