1.0 out of 5 stars cheap piece of junk - defective caps lock., January 7, 2008

By	M. Kelly "kindertechie" (Kinderhook, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Adesso Tru-Form Pro PCK-308UB - Keyboard - USB - 105 keys - ergonomic - touchpad (Electronics)

I am very displeased with this product. It is very cheaply made and the key action is very unsatisfactory. But worst of all, the caps lock key is defective - whether engaging or disengaging, invariably the very next key auto-repeats until I can hit the escape key, then I have to delete dozens of errant chareacters before I can return to my work. I am going to return this product for a full refund.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great New Product that was DEFECTIVE, December 28, 2007

By	Application Security - See all my reviews

This review is from: Adesso Tru-Form Pro PCK-308UB - Keyboard - USB - 105 keys - ergonomic - touchpad (Electronics)

I tried buying one of these from TigerDirect and it arrived with a manufacturer defect - Tiger offered to refund me, and Adesso would not honor the manufacturers warranty. This keyboard is AMAZING and very powerful for saving your body from the rigor of typing all day. Just make sure you do not get one from the defective lot!

I should have just gotten one from Amazon in the first place...

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, June 26, 2009

This review is from: Adesso Tru-Form Pro PCK-308UB - Keyboard - USB - 105 keys - ergonomic - touchpad (Electronics)

I just bought this, the third I have owned over the past 11 years. Each of the previous held up nicely for about 5 years. This seems to be the ONLY desktop keyboard that meets my need for A TOUCH PAD. Mouses (or "mice") take a terrible toll on my wrist and shoulder.
Will it hold up as well as the previous models? I can't say, but have noted a few critical reviews on Amazon. This latest version cost 2/3 of what I paid previously. Does this reflect less quality? Less durability? Only time will tell. I only rate this FOUR STARS because some of the other reviews make me question how good this latest model is; thus far it is Five Stars, as were the previous.

UPDATE. I've been using the keyboard for seven months, and can report only one "issue." "NUM LOCK" light wants to stay on even after computer is shut off. Solution: push the "NUM LOCK" key before machine shuts off; often this must be done TWICE, since at first the light goes off then quickly reappears. Otherwise everything seems to work fine.

LATEST UPDATE (and downgrading of rating). After 11 months this keyboard is constantly irritating: the touch pad often does not respond, and sometimes (playing Solitaire) it double jumps. Compared with my two previous Adessor keyboards, cheaper (this latest purchase) is definitely not better.
