Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This keyboard is wonderful - nearly everything that I would want in a keyboard, and nothing more. The quote that comes to mind is "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
BUT -- I can confirm that, as the previous poster noted, this keyboard is broken and unusable for a speedy typist. It has two problems: First, INitial CAps; the shift key does not immediately release in software when you physically release it, so a fast typist ends up with TWo CApitals at the beginning of almost every sentence. Titles are particularly bad; you end up with "THe PResident of the UNited STates." It's particularly infuriating in that it happens so reliably that when you backspace and re-type, you get the exact same problem.
The second issue is that, often, double-clicking a character will give only ONE copy of that character. So "Three little puppies hopped over the puddle" becomes "Thre litle pupies hoped over the pudle." It does this almost every time, if you are a fast typist.
All of this occurs with both the default drivers and the latest (11/5/2009) drivers on the website. I tested using Windows 7.
It's too bad, because this would otherwise be a wonderful keyboard. I've never seen a keyboard before that couldn't keep up with my typing. I guess that if you are not a touch typist, this keyboard would be perfectly fine for you.
