 Lacks USB ports August 12, 2008
My only gripe with this keyboard is that it lacks USB ports for the mouse.
 You need an adapter for USB use August 9, 2008
The keyboard works fine but the item is described by Microsoft as being USB. I had bought it for use with a laptop. The plug, however, is PS2 so you have to get an adapter. At Radio Shack the adapter is $14.95 plus tax. Order the adapter separately when you order the keyboard. Lots of places online have them for less money.
 Amazon - You Did It Again August 8, 2008
I purchased this Microsoft Keyboard based upon reviews that I read here at Amazon.com. Amazon seems to always breed good reviewers. I just replaced my old Logitech Media Keyboard, and my only complaint so far is WHY DIDN'T I DO THIS SOONER? From the order I placed with Amazon.com to the free SUPER-SAVER Shipping to receiving this in an expedient manner to the software installation to the actual usage of the keyboard, this whole process has been seamless and enjoyable. Everything should work this good. Thanks AMAZON.COM, Thanks MICROSOFT!
One of the best modern keyboards... July 23, 2008
I'm using this on an iMac, and like another user, I was able to map the eject button to the otherwise useless "messenger" button. Volume control/mute buttons are there, and I'm even able to adjust the monitor brightness using the otherwise useless scroll lock and break keys - something my Mac keyboard (dead from spilled lemonade) never had.
Although it suffers from the same lame placement of caps lock and control that has plagued keyboards since about 1992, Microsoft's driver allows swapping the two. The keycaps and silver case is definitely old school - which I like, takes me back to my TRS-80 days. To pick nits, I think the key legends could be bigger, we've been dealing with small, offset legends since the introduction of the IBM PC in 1981 - now that we've FINALLY gone back to black keyboards (which hide dirt), can we get large, centered keycap legends?
Other reviewers are quite right, this is one of the better keyboards to type on that I've used in recent years. The extra hot keys are handy, but what really rocks about this keyboard is the zoom slider. I use it in PhotoShop elements and web browsing all the time! I hate webpages coded with a .0000001 point font! I want to be able to read without eyestrain - this keyboard makes it possible.
I love it enough that I've come to Amazon to buy another one for work.
The other downside has been mentioned by other reviewers, no built-in USB hub.
Computer keyboard July 21, 2008
Product is really nice. Eash to install and almost programs itself for the functions to your computer. I bought this as a replacement for an HP keyboard that was several years old. I would recommend this to anyone. Great price, quick shipping.
