There are more expensive cordless keyboards available, from both Logitech and Microsoft (and others), but if you tend to replace your keyboard every few months it makes more sense to buy something inexpensive. This Logitech model may not have very many extra keys (across the top of the unit), but the ones it has are enough for me. These extra keys, by the way, can easily be reassigned to different tasks - so you if you have no need for a "Webcam" button, for example, you could make that button do something else, like take you to a website, or launch a favorite program. I did not expect these features to work on my older operating system, Win98se, but indeed, all of these features work just fine. As with nearly every product that comes with some installation software, however, I would recommend that you download the software from the product's website rather than using the included CD-rom, to ensure you are getting the latest version; that worked best for me. I have one minor criticism of this keyboard: the letters printed on the keys themselves are rather small. I am not saying the keys are small, but rather, the printing on the keys that identifies which key is which is a bit small and narrow. This won't be an issue for anyone who types without looking at their keyboards, and it won't be an issue for people with 20/20 vision. But I feel they should have been a bit larger. To their credit, Logitech did print the common shortcut information on the front-cliff of the keys (C has "copy", V has "paste", and so on) and the feel of the keys is just fine. I would not call it a quiet keyboard, rather, I'd say it is average in terms of how much the keys clatter. The receiver for this cordless keyboard has a suitably long cord, and is very discrete. The keyboard comes with an attachable wrist-rest, which you will not find useful if you sometimes pick the keyboard up to type from your lap (the attachable wrist-rest will invariably fall off if you do that). Fortunately the low profile of the keyboard means there is no need for such a rest. For those looking to try a cordless keyboard for the first time, or for people who go through keyboards like some people go through dress slacks, this is an excellent choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly, April 5, 2003

This keyboard worked perfectly upon install. The range and feel are superb.

You'll have to adjust how you do things though. Regular keyboards have lights on them to tell you if caps lock and so on is pressed. In this case, you'll have to look at the wireless adapter, which contains the lights. So, if you need to see them, you can't really hide the adapter.

Also, it's very important to uninstall your old keyboard software, if you used an enhanced keyboard. I got errors until I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best keyboard EVER, February 21, 2003

This keyboard is amazing. The keys are extremely soft and makes typing comfortable, wheter your are used of full stroke or half stroke keyboards. The startup is wicked easy. just pressing 2 buttons and inserting the batteries and you are in business. The wireless range is pretty good, but how far are u gonna be away from your comp anyway? This is a good buy!!!!
