Not a replacement for a split keyboard

This would be an awesome keyboard if you're coming from a normal keyboard and want something to alleviate wrist strain. Coming from a "true" split keyboard, the slanty angled keys aren't enough; the whole thing is just too cramped. We'll be keeping...

Good keypress feedback, good sound, no useless extra buttons like "browser", "order pizza", "email". I like that the connector is USB with a PS/2 adapter rather than the other way around

Coming from a split keyboard (the bog-standard Microsoft Natural that seems to be permanently out of stock these days), this keyboard is just too cramped. It's mostly okay to type on if I'm looking at the keys, but trying to do anything while looking...

Recipient loved it

I got this as a gift, and the person loves it! Her keyboard broke, so she was dead in the water, but this is a lot better than the one she had (even when it worked).

THIS KEYBOARD IS PERFECT

Like my headline says THIS KEYBOARD IS PERFECT !!!The alignment of the keys fits the hand, the key action is perfect, ordered 2 of them, will order them again as needed. The keys are angled so it is easy for the fingers to find the correct keys, less...

GREAT KEYBOARD!!!!!

shipping was quick. arrived on time. fully functioning.

I REALLY LIKE this keyboard. I used this model at work for 2 years and it took everything in me to not take that one with me. SO... I ordered the exact same model (this model) for my new job and still love it. It takes very little time to get used to,...

NOT GOOD FOR GAMING!!! If you are a gamer this is not the keyboard for you. This is the only reason I won't give it a 5 rating

I need a light

Currently using it for everything including FPS games. Works flawlessly. White on black, where is that spotlight, I game in the dark.

number row DOA

Awesome key layout, has a nice feel. I would have loved to be able to use this keyboard

Every number in the top row does not work except for the 5 and 6. I play Starcraft. That's not going to work for me

narrow keys

Keys in the middle are narrow, slanted - this is not a standard keyboard.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

A satisfying keyboard

The keyboard is solid and comfortable. My only complaint is that the Enter key displaces the backslash, making it difficult for working with TeX and some programming languages.

The keys are firm and produce a very satisfying click while typing. The keyboard is fully compatible with Mac OS X and you can assign the Windows and Alt keys to Alt and Command, respectively, to have a traditional Mac keyboard layout

The large enter key takes up the space properly occupied by backslash. This is pretty annoying as a working programmer, and forces me to remap forward slash to backslash when working with TeX. It is a major flaw in an otherwise solid design

Amazing Keyboard!

Incredibly comfortable, excellent feedback from the keys, and feels very sturdy

None that I can think of, it's a keyboard. As long as they are comfortable and work what problem can anyone have

Good buy

There is nothing special about this keyboard. I do however like the key configuration particularly. I needed a new keyboard and I prefer to buy from here. The keyboard does what it should do and I am happy with this purchase.
