Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With the Microsoft Office keyboard, Microsoft's most efficient, most productive, most personal keyboard ever, the work you do all the time takes less time. Now you can scroll, move between programs, cut, copy, paste, and go back and forward, all at the touch of a button. The unique, left-side single-touch touchpad offers you two-handed control and flexibility for a more efficient way to work. This unique pad gives you single-touch access to everyday commands. With your left hand on the pad and your right hand on the mouse, you'll work more easily and quickly. Internet buttons let you go backward and forward in your Internet Internet with a single touch. The scroll wheel offers easy scrolling--without using the onscreen scroll bar. When combined with your mouse scroll wheel, you can navigate using whichever hand is free.

Built for comfort and to make optimum use of Microsoft Office products such as Excel, Word, Outlook, and popular Web browsers, this is the keyboard designed for the way you work.

Shortcut buttons let you cut, copy, and paste instantly, while Office hot keys launch your Microsoft Office programs and other tools--Word, Excel, files, mail, Calendar, and Calculator--instantly. But if you want to change the settings, it's easy to personalize the keyboard to fit your needs and working style by using the included IntelliType Pro keyboard software.

The Office provides two dedicated keys that help you take advantage of functionality in Office XP: The task pane key puts relevant features for common tasks just a touch away, while the Office Home key takes you to the Microsoft Office Web site, where you can discover popular features, tools, tips, and new services from Microsoft and other companies. (The task pane key is supported only in Microsoft Office XP for Windows-based PCs.) In addition, the IntelliType Pro software enables you to reassign keys specific to Office XP commands.

The Microsoft Office keyboard features a three-year warranty.

Good quality, cheap if you buy it right. Amazon's prices fluctuate wildly so make sure you're buying it right. For major office users, it is great. I have 2. For others, suggest looking at the multimedia or other makes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love & hate relationship..., July 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft Office Keyboard (E17-00111) (Personal Computers)

I love the clipboard keys (cut, copy,& paste keys.) Use them all the time. My problem is that the right side shift key started to "stick" about a year after I bought it. Anyone else out there had the same problem?

Unusual positioning of home, delete, end, page up, & page down keys, but you will get used to them as long as you don't use another keyboards elsewhere. The placement of "insert" key is interesting. (It is above your number keys.) Keyboard is large. So check your space before you buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT keyboard, April 20, 2004

This review is from: Microsoft Office Keyboard (E17-00111) (Personal Computers)

I'm a computer tech and graphic designer. This is a great keyboard. I use my keyboard more than my mouse and I love the fact that some of the commands I use often are now one button commands instead of two or three key commands. I am left handed and love the left side extension that has the cut, copy, paste buttons as well as the application, scroll and forward and back keys. I agree with one of the other reviewers, this is a large keyboard. I had no problem fitting it into my keyboard area but you may want to check to see if it will fit yours before you purchase it. Right or left handed this is a wonderful keyboard whether you are more of a keyboard person or a mouse person. I highly recommend this item.
