With the press of a button, hot keys give you instant access to Messenger, Mail, Internet, and Calculator commands. Hot keys for My Documents, My Pictures, and My Music put the files you use most within easy reach. Enhanced F keys give you a faster way to perform common tasks. Just press a key to open, close, save, and print documents, send and forward e-mails, and more.
Put your computer into sleep mode (such as suspend, standby, or hibernation) right from your desktop, protecting your data and saving energy. (Sleep hot key functionality is available if your system supports power management and it is enabled, and if all peripherals are compatible with power management.)
This keyboard is designed for a comfortable experience. Use the palm rest to support your hands when not typing, or remove it if that's more your style. This keyboard features a three-year warranty.
the moved insert key might not bother you at all, depending on how you use the keys normally. i dont use the insert key at all, id rather just use the mouse so it didnt fase me in the slightest.
i had a problem with the larger delete key, mostly because it moved the HOME and END keys beside eachother instead of ontop of each other which bothered me when i was browsing web pages. but now im used to it, plus now its harder to miss when hitting ctrl + alt + delete (maybe someone had a sense of humour when designing this keyboard)
moving on to the extra programable keys and f lock key.
except for the windows media player, media, web/home, messenger and calculator keys the rest i find never get used. i would re-assign the useless keys if they didnt have little pictures on them that refer to their default settings.
the f lock key does cause small problems at first, for instance it has to be on to operate the F1 - F12 keys, but by default it is turned off. this would not be a problem if i didnt use the alt + F4 and F5 short cuts a lot (and perhaps for other people that use the insert key a lot). if you use outlook express a lot and you dont use the F keys, then you might find the new short-cut keys that are now available very usefull; reply, fwd, send etc.
i would call this keyboard user-friendly. everything is straight forward if you can adjust. if you cant adjust -> then this isnt the keyboard for you <-
1) the space bar is exceptionally noisy if you hit it with your right thumb (which I almost exclusively do).
2) The dreaded F key. Microsoft decided to add functionality to the f-keys by letting them operate as typical, F1-F12 keys, or as buttons to perform specific tasks (spell check, save, print, etc). You choose which the buttons operate as with the F lock key.
F-lock on, they operate as F1-F12 like normal. F-lock off, they don't do anything useful.
The f-lock key defaults off and often switches back to off for no reason.
Wait -- it's very probable there is a reason for this: Microsoft hates us all.
But what the F is this F Lock key? Why is the default position 'OFF'? Why is there no way, (other than a registry fix) to change the default position of this key? Is MS once again going stupid on us?
MS also thinks that we are all idiots, and that we delete more than we write. So they enlarged the delete key. Dumb idea. Return the insert key to where it belongs. My games need it there. And you know... the Start, and Menu key shouldn't be down where one might accidently press it while typing other stuff. More irritating than the Caps Lock.
D+ MS. You can do better work.
The F Lock key is a pain also, but there is registry fixes to disable this.
So, thanks to this keyboard I have now deleted several hundred lines of code instead of pasting them!
The media buttons on top are located at all the right places and are clearly marked. I love the Delete 'bar', which is so much better because I don't use the Insert command enough so that it becomes an annoyance when I overtype in a document.
The only problems I have with the keyboard is that it takes awhile to get used to the switching of the F1-F12 keys. Light the F-Lock key above Num Lock, and you get your regular functions with it, but if they're off, you have to adjust to a different way of using them. The F-Lock light is turned off when I boot, so it's jarring when a save dialouge comes up for F11 instead of the browser going to full-screen. Support for Insert and Scroll Lock is there for the few people that use it on the print screen and pause/break keys, but make sure the light is on beforehand, hopefully Microsoft allows you a "FLock key lit on reboot" option in their next keyboard software release.
The other thing is F1-F12 are in four three-key groups instead of thre four-key groups. Jarred me a little, I'm sure to get used to it soon enough, but if you're an expert, you may want to look somewhere else if the F keys are the way you always work in programs. Also, Home and End are side by side, with Page Up and Page Down vertical below them, and the keys surround the Delete bar. May take awhile to get used to End above Page Up, And Home off to the side. You get used to it though, so it's nothing bad for me.
All in all, another fine piece of Microsoft hardware. If you can handle relearning a new way to work with function keys and Insert, and a new way to type off the QWERTY and number pad areas, this is a great keyboard for you. If you're a power user though, just get a keyboard with the usual 104 layout.
Biology grows on you.
We can embody the truth, but we cannot know it.
