" ... This is a great keyboard! ... I'm two years in and this keyboard continues to work great. ... If you're unwilling to bother with this solution, I would recommend a wired keyboard. ... Wired keyboards never have connectivity dropouts or any battery waste, and are in many ways a superior product. ... "
" ... As far as wireless keyboards go, the price here was more than you'd pay for a non-name brand keyboard of like quality. ... What drew me to this particular unit was the "thin" design which I like in keyboards. ... "

" ... Love the media keys, and I prefer the volume buttons on the top right, very convenient. ... My only complaint is that personally I prefer my keys to be a bit more clicky, these have a softer feeling when you press without that satisfying "clack" feeling, but if you prefer that then this works for you. ... "
" ... The key response is light and snappy. ... "

" ... my biggest qualm is there is no light indicator when caps lock is in use, nor no light indicator for num lock (which, again, is okay, but preferred). ... "

" ... The number 9 broke the first week I got this, and I glued it back on. ... "
" ... This one branded HP has a "cheep" feel to the construction. ... When typing, it has a "clattering" where the plastic frame is taping the inner metal frame. ... The bottom exterior frame itself, has a rubber pad at all four corners which is great but nothing at the middle to support the center section so the frame also "taps" the desktop when typing with the middle keys. ...
