Customer Review: Pretty Good, for a keyboard
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this keyboard. I got it at work with a new system, and at first I didn't like it because of the odd shape and extra buttons. I use to just like the plain old 101-key QWERTY, never needing or wanting anything more. After a couple of weeks of using it, though, even I had to admit that it was quite better than my old plain keyboard. One of the reasons is that it has good keys. They aren't real stiff and give a good feel then pressed, giving good "tactile feedback" that a key has definetly been pressed. Not like an old mechanical keyboard or anything, but better than most. One thing I hate about quiet or soft-key keyboards is that sometimes you aren't sure if your key press registered corretly. With this board, it feels much more positive, which allows me to type faster.
The extra key issue, which at first was annoying and seemed to just take up space, has proved to be actually useful. I still never use the browsing keys, which is where I assume the "Internet" in "Internet Keyboard" came from, but the calculator and My Computer buttons have become second nature to me already. I always find myself slapping at the space where there calculator button should be when I am at a different computer and just expect it to be there, I use it so much. And you don't even need any extra software to get it to work, WinXP automatically recognizes it and all the buttons work right out of the box.
Lastly, the wrist rest, something I never thought would make a difference, does force you to keep your wrists in proper position at least. While it doesn't eliminate fatigue, it does help. Another feature I never would have chosen to look for in a keyboard, but it's nice to have it there now that I do have it.
I'm not usually a Microsoft kind of guy, but even I have to admit, they do make good hardware. This keyboard is a safe, above average buy.
