 Disappointed with the Keyboard January 1, 2003
7 out of 11 found this review helpful
I chose this keyboard because of the reputed Microsoft brand name, expecting a high quality
product. But I have been rather frustrated and disappointed with this keyboard as it is poorly made.The keys are unstable and they feel "wobbly", "squishy" and "flimsy". You can take any key and
with very little force make it wave left and right and back and forth directions. In the vertical (z)
direction, the keys are not as crisp--the tactile feedback is inadequate to feel if you have actually
pressed the key or not slowing you down and adding to the errors due to missed key-strokes. Or end up accidentally pressing a key from the mere resting of the fingers on the keyboard, something a touch-typist would do to "position" his fingers. The wobbly keys are causing typing errors. Because when we type (touch typing), our fingers "fan
out" somewhat from our palm to cover the span of the keyboard and they press on the keys at a
slight angle. This angled force with its horizontal component on a wobbly key makes it move
horizontally, causing the ginger (I mean finger, see!) to slip, so the finger can sldip (slip) from f to g
or from s to d often turning finger into ginger and slip into dlip. On the plus side, the key sizes, interspaces and their locations are all "standard" and are all placed
where they should be. The extra internet keys and the calculator and sleep keys might be a plus to some, though I
never used them. The extra thickness and width of the keyboard put in in part to give it "curves" only increase its size and bulk. In summary, I am disappointed at a substandard product that from a reputable company as Microsoft and
I would like my money back from Microsoft.

I had to replace my very overworked keyboard, I went looking at ALL THE DIFFERENT MODELS.. I found this item, Looked it over. It has SOME PROGRAMMABLE KEYS.. The Warranty is three years!!! The price is a great MOTIVATER, But the ease in the way this board moves!!. I had a board formerly that I had to bang on, this on has a wonderful spring back to each key. Also on the front forward of select keys the SHORTCUTS ARE MARKED!! I do not know about any of you, BUT FOR ME I will take all the help I can get in maximizing my computer Knowledge!! I say BUY IT, TRY IT LOVE IT!! A Blond
