USB 87-Key Mini Keyboard (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was very disappointed by this keyboard. First, my computer didn't recognize it, then I noticed the 3.5 inch floppy disk in the box containing the drivers. The last time I owned a computer with a floppy drive was about 5 years ago. There is absolutely no manufacturer's name on the box so no way to visit a website to download a driver. I finally located a computer with a floppy drive, and copied the driver to a USB drive and from there installed it onto my computer. After that all keys worked except the middle row (ASDF;LKJ). So the keyboard is useless. And at 7.99 + 8 for shipping, it's not worth sending back. Just another one for the landfill.
For the record, I bought this from geeks.com through the Amazon website. I live in San Diego, and geeks.com is in Oceanside, about 30 miles up the coast. The product arrived the day after I ordered it. That was the good part of the experience. It was downhill from there.

Adesso Mini Multimedia Black PS/2 Internet Keyboard ( MCK-91 ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In my search for a replacement keyboard for a old vaio laptop I once used, I'd tried both zippy keyboards and now adesso. The MCK-901 (similar to this one) is also close to what I want, but all the keyboards I've used lack something. The primary problem with the zippy was the spacebar height, which is a similar problem with this keyboard. The height of he spacebar forces you to type at a tilt (towards you) in order to press the spacebar. I guess I'll just glue something on top of the spacebar to fix that...
The major problem with this keyboard is the forced tilt. Most keyboards can both lay flat or tilt. This one can tilt and then tilt even higher. There's no laying flat. Using a tilted keyboard only increases the stress on your hands and wrists when typing. Other than those problems, it's a pretty solid keyboard.
The software footprint mentioned by the previous reviewers isn't a problem. Just forego the software and only load the driver.
If I cut out part of the front border (in front of the spacebar and laid only the front bottom on top of a second surface to raise it up, this keyboard would be nearer to the mark. Except for the rather tiny function keys, I've nearly no problem with the key setup.
