great keyboard / touchpad combo that I need for work. However, be warned, if you drop it the keys will pop off and go everywhere. Good thing is that they easily go back on. I suggest taking a pic of it after you get it so you know where all the keys go.
Having the touchpad on the right hand side, close to where I used to have my mouse (only closer to the key board) was a dealbreaker when I decided to order this keyboard.
At first it wouldn't let me adjust the pointer speed which was very dissapointing, it was set to the slowest speed:( ,but that solved itself once I rebooted my system :p
The arrow keys to the left of the touchpad is nice for scrolling the page. I loved this keyboard so much, I ordered another one :)
I've been using this keyboard for a month now with my desktop computer. Here's are a some of my biggest issues. First, the arrow (up/down) keys are not placed the same as EVERY other keyboard I've ever used. You would think it wouldn't be a big deal, but it gets very annoying especially when I switch to other devices. I find myself constantly having to find the down arrow key to scroll down a page, when using this keyboard. Also, the Tab, Caps & Right Shift (Left side is a bigger key?) are about the same size as the letters. These keys should be bigger! Since, I do not look at my keyboard when typing. At times, my fingers slip off these keys and I hit the keys next to them. Lastly, I've had to re-plug the keyboard in a few types now. It will somehow lose connection to my computer and the arrow will freeze on screen. However, I do like the feel of the higher keys vs. a flatter type keyboard. Earlier, I had another Cherry keyboard that I loved and used for many years until the keys started getting too sticky to use. However, I would not purchase this keyboard again for myself.
This might sound a little funny but I first noticed these keyboards at my local Staples store. The cashiers were using them at the registers and at the UPS hub. I loved the small footprint and the sound of the keys. I purchased a number of other keyboards but ended up going back to my Staples store and asked the cashier for the model number on the underside of his keyboard. I really, really like this board. The layout is great and if you don't like the placement of keys, you can download the software from Cherry and reprogram keys to your liking. I did that with the delete key which I changed the scroll lock to. The touchpad works fine but I mostly use my mouse as it is more comfortable for me. Being the 14 inch size lends to a closer placement of a mouse and you don't get that lopsided feel from a full sized and length keyboard. The keys are rubber domed switches but I feel they are of good quality and definitely have a nice feel to them and the sound is awesome. Kind of sounds like popping popcorn. If you are looking for a high quality rubber domed switch keyboard in a compact layout but with full features - don't pass this one by. I give it my highest recommendation.
