| Great wireless version of the same keyboard I have at home |
| I ruled out Logitech keyboards because of their arrangement of the delete key. I'm very meticulous so it had to be a "standard" keyboard layout. I also wanted flatter and quieter keys, and I wanted them to be easier to press down. It's extremely easy to type on this keyboard, and although it's not as quiet as a laptop keyboard, it is much quieter than your normal run-of-the-mill keyboard that comes with a purchased computer. It's very sleek, and looks absolutely great next to my Logitech mouse. The glossy black finish just around the keys can attract fingerprints, but you're not supposed to touch that part anyway, and the rest of the keyboard isn't glossy like that. Battery life is supposed to be good, but I don't know for sure (I guess I'll find out in a year.) One of the things that shocked me was that this thing comes with real Duracell batteries, which is a real surprise in the tech world. Usually included batteries are cheap knockoffs from some brand I've never heard of. All of the extra buttons around the outside of the keyboard are useful and changeable through software. You can even assign macros to all them except the 1-5 and * buttons on the top (due to the functionality of that set of keys) if you'd like. This is a very sturdy, solid keyboard; stylish and professional-looking (which is good because I bought it for work!) I've spent $200 on a keyboard before, and this is easily the best keyboard I have ever bought. I'd recommend this keyboard to anyone for uses for anything from general computing to hard-core software development. 5 stars for this one.
Pros:
+ Build quality is top-notch
+ Flat, easy-touch keys help type faster
+ Most extraneous keys assignable to macros (including "F" keys)
+ Standard keyboard layout
+ Real Duracell batteries!
Potential Cons:
- Quieter than standard keys, but not as quiet as laptop keys
- Glossy black finish around keys can attract fingerprints
- "F" keys are smaller than normal
- Can't assign macros to the 1-5 and * keys
- 2.4GHz USB receiver and keyboard backing are white (in case you care)
| | I have to agree with the Mizar,
Cons
- poorly designed
- very uncomfortable
- Key are very uneasy to access
- Why the function keys are so small?
- you probably may never get use to this keyboard
Pros
+ (Not much, it works and I can type something)
+ (I got it for free, Someone gifted me this ;) )
I would highly recommend not to buy this.
| | Hate, hate, HATE this keyboard. Microsoft keyboard designers were very busy fixing features here that were not broken. The F-keys are minute, and their F numbers are written in tiny, almost invisible type above them. The built-in functions for them if the F-lock is turned off are silly and unnecessary. The worst feature, however, is the teeny-tiny ESC key. Half the time you accidentally open your e-mail because that is the key closest to it. I would not recommend this keyboard under any circumstances.
