Customer Reviews

Solid, useful shortcut keys, not as quiet as I had hoped
I can't ding this product for not meeting my expectations. I should have tried it out in person. The keyboard feels very solid, the media shortcuts are useful, the installation software was painless to install.

I really wanted a quiet keyboard so I could type (take notes) while using my headset on conference calls, etc. Despite the MS "quiet touch" keys and at least one review to the contrary, the keyboard is about as loud as the ancient standard Dell keyboard that I was using before. It is definitely quieter than some, but I had hoped for better. Is it really that hard to make a quiet keyboard? Next time I will shop in person.

Still, I give it four stars. Unless you're looking specifically for a silent experience, you'll be satisfied with this good quality keyboard.

Love it!
I love my new keyboard! It is comfortable, the access keys work very well and it is a very nice looking keyboard as well.
Would definitely buy it again!

Great Keyboard for the Cost
Bought this keyboard for it's great/many reviews and it has lived up to them so far. I've had it for about a month now and everything's still working fine, keys are still quiet even after having written several lengthy papers. Very nice to have the wrist support and it's great having the hotkeys (especially the music ones that actually work with iTunes!). The Zoom slider isn't all that great (was hoping it'd do something along the lines of Mac's magnify feature) because there's no option to go back to original size after zooming in/out and it's not smooth.
