We picked this keyboard because it is very compact, yet still has (mostly) full-size keys. We have a somewhat small desk drawer where it needed to sit, so the compact size was great because it allowed us to keep a full-sized mouse and mouse pad beside it without restrictive arrangements like we had when trying a full-sized keyboard. Special keys (volume, mute, etc.) work perfectly out of the box with both Windows and Linux (Mint & Ubuntu). Function keys, arrow keys, and Home-End-Page Up and Down keys are half-sized, so may require getting used to them if you have only used full-sized keyboards. Keys are not as tall as a standard Dell desktop keyboard, but taller than a standard Apple keyboard, and are well-spaced between. It only took me a few hours of working on it to get very comfortable with typing on it (I typed this review on it). The on/off switch is nice for extending battery life when not using it for a while. The wireless connection has been flawless with the USB receiver plugged into a USB hub connected to the laptop about 4 feet away, with no lag in key responses on-screen.

I love that this keyboard has keys that click. They are not like a laptops soft keys. I got this keyboard since I am currently using a laptop stand and I would have to be raising my arms higher to reach the laptop keys. This was the great solution for that! Especially since it is so portable and small enough to fit in a tight space like my small desk. Having other features such as a Play/Pause, Forward/Rewind, and Volume buttons on the keyboard makes it a bigger plus! If you are looking for a keyboard that is portable, smaller in size, and still feels like a normal keyboard... Look no further!

I really like this keyboard. I needed something less wide than my current Logitech keyboard and this one is just right. I didn't expect to be able to get one that had a numeric pad with it but this one does. I use it while sitting in my recliner with my 2-in-1 laptop sitting on a table in front of me. I put a lapboard in my lap with the keyboard and mouse on the lapboard. My previous keyboard took up too much room on the lapboard leaving very little room for the mouse. This one does not take up that much room. And yet it is full sized QWERTY keyboard with the keys spaced just like a normal keyboard. I also really like the feel of the chicklet keys. And there is plenty of functionality already configured into the keyboard. I rarely give anything 5 stars, but I honestly can't think of anything that I would change on this keyboard. Even the price was great.

I was looking for an alternative keyboard for a stand-up desk that was a bit more compact in size. This works for that purpose very well. I still prefer a larger, more ergonomic keyboard for high volume typing. But for a situation that needs a compact size, this is great. I attached it to the desk with aluminum rails and Velcro. Works great!

I just love the simplicity and design. It is easy to use and connect to laptop. I got it to use for my work laptop and must confess i have no regrets whatsoever. I really like ut and would recommend it.
