Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Microsoft Digital Media Pro Keyboard
Customer Review: Like my old one, only much better!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got a new computer that came with a very basic keyboard and no wrist rest. I loved my old Microsoft Multimedia keyboard but couldn't make it work on a USB port, even with an adapter, so I had to find something else. I tried to upgrade to the Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 model, but couldn't use it and had to return it. I then took the leap and got this one and it's even better than my old one. I really like the touch and feel of the keys and I like the various special functions, some of which I had before and others that are new for me. I highly recommend this keyboard for anyone who likes the usual straight-line layout. I rely heavily on the attached wrist rest to keep my hands and wrists in the right position and find it really makes for comfortable typing without injury or pain.Customer Review: Really Erognomic and NIce Price

I have always used logitech for my keyboards...so I was kind of skeptical about trying this one..but when I saw the price...I just couldnt resist...other logitechs at the time were much more pricey....so I tried this one...and I was really suprised...didnt know microsoft could make such good keyboards....I find it the perfect blend of ergonomics and functionality..and I should say performance...all the buttons and funcions you need..in all the right places..doesnt lose its performance from wear and tear...I have had this one for almost a year...use it like crazy for all sorts of things...including a lot of intensive gaming...which I think really put it to its test...I have been converted to microsoft for keyboards...give this one a try and you will see what Im talking about.Customer Review: If you're looking for that soft touch, look no further!

I know many of the reviews said this keyboard was quiet and the keys were soft, but I didn't realize how right they were until I ordered it for myself. These keys make minimal sound and they're so soft when you press down on them that sometimes it feels like you have to make an extra effort to type. It's heavy on the fingers. That's the reason for the 4-star review.
I don't mind too much, and the extra hotkeys are great. There's buttons to play, stop, skip, reverse, etc. for your media player; you can have 5 "favorites" buttons that can be programmed to open any program you want; there's buttons to open your documents, pictures, music, mail, instant messenger, calculator, and more! It's great having them right at your fingertips.
Customer Review: GREAT keyboard!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really love this keyboard. Not only is it very comfortable for a touch-typist, but, unlike most other Microsoft keyboards, it puts where the keys belong. For example, the Insert/Delete/Home/End/PageUp/PageDown are exactly where they should be and where you expect them to be, unlike with many recent Microsoft and Logitech keyboards. The backspace key is large - in fact that's why I chose this keyboard over many other potential choices. You can also use this keyboard with a USB port or the good old PS/2 port, so it's flexible. The build quality is good, too. You don't need to install any driver to use this keyboard, but if you do you get additional functionalities with tose extra "multimedia" keys at the top (which I don't care for).Customer Review: Solid for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this keyboard to replace another Microsoft wired keyboard that finally died after 6 years of heavy use. Overall, I am very pleased with this new one. It has alot of extras on it and isn't very expensive. The software was easy to install and configuring the extra buttons is a breeze as well. It has a nice clean look to it and is quite lightweight. The only problem I have had with this keyboard is lag associated with the arrow keys while playing some games. I think it is caused by certain button combinations, but I am uncertain what exactly triggers it. Just that it never happened with any other keyboard I've used.
Overall, I think this keyboard is an excellent value and for the money it would be hard to beat.
