Needed this keyboard due to dexterity issues. Does this trick just fine. The only thing that would be nice to have is some function keys.

Got this for my mother who has macular degeneration and trouble seeing. Also, bad arthritis in her fingers makes it difficult for her to use regular sized keyboards. This keyboard seemed to be just what she needed. It's well built and comes with plugs to work in just about any computer. Keys are easy for her to see. The wide key spacing works ok for her, but since she has touch typed all her life, she has some difficulty getting used to the key locations. For now she has to "hunt and peck".

JUNK--THERE IS NO "NUMBER" KEY GROUP PAD AND RETURN BUTTON KEY BROKE IN LESS THAN (1) MONTH!!!

As far as sturdy, this board is definitely rugged and damage resistant. I purchased one for my mother who has arthritis and has problems with buttons on traditional keyboards being too close together. Her eyesight is also failing, so have the big letters was a huge plus. The keyboard does take some getting used to if you're used to traditional keyboards. My mother quickly learned however to become a two-finger typist on this board. Not having function keys is the only problem, although if you're not setting up windows xp for the first time (where you HAVE to have an F8 button to accept the license), there is not much need for function buttons. Overall, this keyboard is extremely helpful and well worth the price for the value it provides for an older person with motor or vision problems.
