I must say I am NOT disappointed! It's great! I immediately loved the styling once I pulled it out from its box. It's not really clear in the picture, but there is a clear plastic surround to the keyboard, which frames it and gives it a real nice touch. The keyboard itself is also incredibly thin, as the pictures suggest. I was still blown away by how thin it was. Very low profile, which I love, since I am used to typing on laptop keyboards for most of my life.
The keys have a real nice feel to them-- not too hard to press, but give a decent amount of feedback on each press. They have this semi-rubbery feel to them, which feels great and also gives it a rich black color--it doesn't feel cheap or plastic-y at all. The look is only helped by the crisp white back light, which does help for when I'm working in the early morning or late at night.
An added style bonus: I love where the caps lock, num lock, etc light up indicators are. They are in the lower right of the keyboard, in a tiny black strip. Very cool indeed.
The function keys are pretty useful, but honestly I've never gotten a keyboard for function keys. I always find it faster (ever since Vista / 7) to hit windows key and start typing the program I want to open, and hit enter. But if you are into function keys and think they're a must, these are programmable with the software that comes packaged with the keyboard, so you can make them do whatever you like.
I have ONE gripe with this keyboard, but it's not a total deal breaker. I didn't really pay attention to this when I was buying it, but there is no "Menu" key in the lower right of the keyboard. Instead it's the FN key, to gain access to the function keys up top. I use the menu key a lot while I'm working because it's faster than moving my hand to the mouse and right clicking...but I'll get used to it. Everything else about this keyboard is so good that I'm willing to overlook that.
Finally, the comfort of the keyboard with your hands rested in the "home row" position is great. The wrist rest feels rubberized as well, and is very comfortable to rest on.
Overall, I highly recommend this keyboard for anyone in the market for....a keyboard. It'll be hard to find my next keyboard upgrade, because I have a feeling I'll stick with this one for a while. It's whisper quiet, feels great to type on all day long and looks great.
It is not silent like the advertisement suggests but that is okay. Noise is nothing. It does have perfect stroke as it says and even more so that later models I've tested out. The keyboard feels clean to the fingers. The value of that is the keys are so comfortable to type on, you get a slight boost in your typing rythm that improves your unconcious flow.
The palm rest is like having your palms on silk. So comfortable that it greatly eases your engagement with the keyboard. The keys have an excellent light that is quite noticeable even when the sun bleeds through the windows at the highest intensity. The reason that is useful is your peripheral vision regarding the keys while you view the screen is greatly enhanced.
I do not know if the palm rest will remain as comfortable as it feels fresh out of the box. The best advice may be to minimize oil and persperation on the hands. Clean hands before use.
The keyboard has a very nice trim that resembles glass and it is an excellent aesthetic touch. A significant amount of thought went into the visual design of the keyboard. Best of all is how it feels and supports touch typing at 30 - 60 wpm and up. Anyone who has been trained in touch typing will find that this keyboard easily and is far beyond competent in supporting sustained rate of speed in typing. The keys are not layered like the keyboards of old but they work much better.
I saw this keyboard on display in a store. Never saw it before or perhaps simply did not notice it even though it looks like the keyboard has been around a while. I decided on a whim to try it out and instantly recognized that it was genuinely different than any computer keyboard I had used. The store price was like $90 for the keyboard. Amazon had a very deep discount at the time and so the opportunity was right.
The last keyboard similar to it that I had was the Logitech DiNovo Edge around 2006 or so. Excellent keyboard. Spilled tea on it by accident. Too expensive to replace. This keyboard is far better than any Logitech keyboard or keyboard from any brand that I have used. I had grown to accept that the chiclet keyboard style introduced with early Macbook computers was the direction on keyboards. That is probably true for laptops, but for a wired keyboard in which you do not have to replace batteries as often, especially given the backlight, this is far more productive and compelling than the standalone chiclet style keyboards.
With the laser etched keys, I do not get a sense that the letters and numbers will fade or wear off. The overall construction of the keyboard is solid but not in a way that is a lifeless industrial product. It is a very nice combination of durability and graceful style.
The bonus is I am using a Linux distribution and it works beyond what I had expected. My core reason for getting the keyboard was the backlit aspect. I had many choices but the added benefit of the key design for comfortable typing and the overall style (in that order) was what put this over the top. I did not expect function keys to work in Linux. Possibly due to the inroads Logitech has made in Linux, most of this keyboard's function keys work in Linux. A few exceptions are F4 (instant messaging program launch); F5 (Windows 7 Aero 3D Alt+Tab); F6 (control panel). The other web and music function keys work inside web browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox and video playback programs.
An excellent keyboard that offers tremendous benefit when it comes to long duration typing that extends into the evening. The backlight is a great productivity enhancement and there is a key right above the minus sign on the numeric keypad to adjust the backlight brightness. If you use home and end buttons, page up/down, you will gain the gift of instant ability to tap those keys with much less time looking for where they are located on the keyboard.
Other keyboards are just as worthy, especially if you do not spend a lot of time on the keyboard. Wireless keyboards are useful in that category and offer great convenience over wired keyboards. It is when you type fast with both hands looking at the screen and type for possibly hours at a time or otherwise draft several paragraphs in one sitting is where this keyboard proves its value. You will need the wired connection for more intense keyboard use where you have a backlight in which the combination of activity and illumination may impact battery life in a wireless version. Considering everything, this keyboard has it all.
Top reviews from other countries
The feel of the keyboard is very laptop-like. The scissor switches are very quiet, and keycaps are easy to remove to clean up any dirt that's fallen under them. Key travel I'd say is a little bit longer than on a typical laptop keyboard.
The only issue I have with this keyboard, annoying and unfixable enough that I deducted a "comfort" point, is with the top row of keys. I don't use the F-keys very often, but Esc suffers from the problem: they are half-size, and are for some reason more difficult to hit correctly. I tend to hit the key on its front slope instead of the top, so sometimes I hit Esc and it does not register, because I didn't hit it properly. It's annoying, but not often enough to write off the keyboard, especially since there's no real comparable competition.
Long term update (6+ months): keyboard still going great. As expected, some of the textured plastic surface has acquired a bit of smooth sheen in the place my thumb rests. The "rubbery" wrist pad is only very slightly worse for wear, I was expecting it to be the first to go by far. Aside from some dirt and dust, it looks nearly new, it's easy to keep clean. The keycaps are fine, the lettering is not worn off or anything like that. All the backlighting is still working and evenly lit. My initial impressions haven't changed, especially with respect to the usability; I still miss the Esc button sometimes, and it's a little hard to tell when you've sufficiently depressed a key for it to register, because the travel distance is short and there's not a lot of clicky feedback. Very much comparable to a high quality laptop keyboard.
2.5+ year update: the keyboard finally died. Or rather, I killed it. It turns out that the key caps are NOT "easy" to remove. Some junk got under some of the keys, blocking them, and I could not dislodge the trash. As I removed the keycap, I noticed the little hooks that snap into the scissor switch broke off. I think that if you are very careful, and lift the caps from the side (not bottom!), you have a good chance of not breaking anything, but only do it as a last resort. I was so happy with this keyboard, I replaced it with another one.
Sad when you don't get something exactly as pictured.
Photo is of the keys which did NOT do what is listed on them.
