1.0 out of 5 stars If you liked the original PCK-308TB, you'll hate this., November 17, 2005

By	Todd Eigenschink (Fort Wayne, IN, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tru-form Pro Media Contoured Ergo Touchpad Keyboard PS/2 Blk (Electronics)

I bought this as a replacement for an aging PCK-308TB that's just wearing out. I love the PCK-308TB dearly, and Adesso says it's a best-seller, yet they discontinued it. I don't get it.

* They cut the backspace key in half and relocated the backslash to the top row.

* On my particular keyboard, the enter key and the right-side space bar are gummy and hard to press. (The rest of the keys are great, though...unfortunately it had to be two of the really important ones that are screwed up.) In fact, it's physically "impossible" to press the right-side space bar on its right half--it just locks up.

* The rubber feet on the bottom are nearly flush, so it slides around on my desk.

* The control/alt/windows keys have been resized for the worse.

* The touchpad buttons have been moved to the bottom rather than the side, and they're extremely hard to press.

I'm pretty picky about keyboards since I type so much, but still. This is a piece of junk that's more expensive than the original. I'd give it zero stars if I could.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good if you don't mind having stiff keys., June 16, 2006

By	buddha - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tru-form Pro Media Contoured Ergo Touchpad Keyboard PS/2 Blk (Electronics)

I previously had the PCK-308T and it lasted five years (until I dropped something heavy on it). I don't like light touch keyboards, so the stiffness of the Tru-Form keyboards doesn't bother me (they do ease with use). It seems that Adesso has redesigned some of the keys back to how they were on the PCK-308T, the backspace key is now back to double size, the \ key is back on the second row, and the enter key is back to it's regular size. I like that Adesso has moved mouse buttons to below the touch pad (the buttons on the PCK-308T were awkward). I was pretty happy with my last Tru-Form keyboard and this one seems to be just as good.

1.0 out of 5 stars 4 star--- Amazon does not let me change my star rating, December 29, 2005

By	Gandalf (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tru-form Pro Media Contoured Ergo Touchpad Keyboard PS/2 Blk (Electronics)

When I wrote my original review, it was for a completely different product. Current product you see here is a 4 star product. Too bad Amazon doesn't let me change my star rating.

Pros:
- This keyboards touchpad is much better and works with KVM switches properly, the old model didn't support scroll when it was connected to a KVM.
- Keys are much softer than the old model which is a plus.

Cons:
- Touchpad's buttons are harder than the old model which was hard to begin with so it is horrible.
