1 Not USB connected!
I was surprised to receive this keyboard and find that it didn't connect to my new Windows notebook computer. It has a PS2 connection, not USB or any other type connection that my notebook accepts. I went back and looked at the description and I don't see anywhere currently where it states what connector it has. Buyer beware!
2 Excellent, comfortable, basic keyboard
My old keyboard's space bar was getting stuck, and the thing just looked horribly dirty, so I thought, "Hey, I think it's time to get a new keyboard!"
In my search, I had to look at all sorts of them, most of which had all these different horrible multimedia buttons on them which I just hate. Luckily, I found this thing.
It's a rather basic, no frills keyboard, in black, and extremely comfortable. It's also angled a bit, which helps with typing, and reaching things.
There are extra buttons on the keyboard, but it doesn't go overboard.
Top row:
back
forward
stop
mail
search
favorites
web/home
The web/home button works with whatever browser you have set as the default, so don't worry about it only opening Internet Explorer, it does open Firefox.
Above the number pad there are these buttons as well:
my computer
calculator
sleep
I love the notion of a quick calculator button, and the only problem I potentially see is the sleep button, as one can accidently hit that. Perhaps it can be disabled with the included software CD, but I didn't even bother to install that since this is just a keyboard... you plug it in, and it works...
Again, highly recommended keyboard if you want something cheap and without the frills.
Also, for those curious, the keyboard is made in China.
3 Good basic internet keyboard for the price.
This is a good basic internet keyboard for the price. It has the amazing silent key feature, which means that the keys are a lot less noisy than my old, basic Compaq keyboard (which came standard with my computer). The curved shape of this keyboard means that the back keys are elevated higher. This makes reaching them easier and more comfortable. This keyboard gives good tactile feedback, so you know when you've pressed a key.
I really like the fact that this keyboard has two very useful buttons integrated into it: the "My Computer" button, and the "Calculator" button. These buttons do exactly what they imply: start the program that they are named for. I use these functions alot, especially the My Computer function. I am glad that I do not have to waste extra time going to the start menu on my Windows XP computer to access these programs now.
Another really useful feature is the labeling of the control function keys. This keyboard shows which keys, when pressed with the ctrl button, do actions like cut, pase, copy, or save. This means that you do not have to guess what the ctrl functions are for different keys; it is already labeled for you.
The web keys are very useful. Nothing fancy, as this is a basic internet keyboard, but they are just what I needed to make my computing experience as effortless as it needs to be right now. The only feature that I wish this keyboard included would be a button or buttons that adjust the volume. But then again, I can do that on the speakers and within Windows, so this is not a major issue.
In conclusion, for a couple of dollars, this is a fine internet keyboard. It is basic, so it may not include all of the bells and whistles that other, more advanced internet keyboards may have. But if you want a direct, less bloated computer experience, then this keyboard is a good place to start.
