I can't believe no one has reviewed this, its excellent. Great looking keyboard, resonably quiet, buttons press very well, you don't have to press just in the middle. Its also is very lightweight but stays put due to a couple nice rubber pads that don't look like they will come off easily. It washes with soap and water but you supposedly cant put it in the dishwasher, but soap and water I'm sure will be good enough when the time comes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slightly noisy keys but good action, February 2, 2011

The keys aren't the noisiest I've ever heard but they're also not quiet. Our work environment is VERY dirty so I thought I'd give this KB a try to see just how well it cleans up. Hopefully it cleans up well and lasts, otherwise it's just a really expensive standard keyboard.

I looked over the key layout before ordering but still didn't notice they squeezed the "|\" keys between the "?" and "Shift" keys. This makes the right Shift key very small. We use "?" a LOT for customer lookups so having that extra key between makes it more difficult to type quickly. I'm hoping I'll get used to it after a little practice. On the bright side, it has the oversized "Enter" key and double sized Backspace keys thet we're used to. The only other negative is the keys tend to shine a little from the office lighting. It's not blinding, just noticable. All in all, if it lasts in a dirty construction type environment I'll consider it a good buy.

This keyboard is comfortable to type with and works O.K. The only problem I've had so far is when it misfires. What I mean is that sometimes when I press a key I get 2 letters, and other times I get none (as if I did't hit the key at all). This occurs enough to be annoying, but I reserve myself to blaming the keyboard, as it could just be Vista and the fact that I have swapped 3 different keyboards on this laptop. I will take it home and try it there. I didn't return this because it's washable (which I haven't tested yet) and the fact that its' comfortable to type with once you get past how it feels (has some kind of coating on it). Its been 3 months and the keys have not worn off yet.
