Rating: - Good keyboard and price, but potentially worthless to the wrong owner..
This is Microsoft's entry-level, lowest-priced (barely discounted on Amazon) keyboard. It's light, full featured, finger-friendly, and it will work with a Mac. Still, there are extra keys, and non-functional items, that I've decided make it less than optimal for use as a replacement for a blown-out keyboard on an older Mac laptop. Also, I'm somewhat surprised there's no usb connection, touch pad or space for an external mouse.
If you have a Mac, you may as well spend extra to replace ... Read More
Rating: - Had mine for over a year now
I've had these keyboards for over a year now and have not had the problems the other reviewers had.
Maybe I'm just not that hard on my keyboards but I'm on these things almost everyday.
I like the design and though the keys need a little getting used to, I think this keyboard is a great buy at ~18.
I ordered 2 of these and they have worked with no problem even since they were installed back in April '07.

Their only response is to replace in the future and try to keep the customer happy, ... Read More
Rating: - Carpal Tunnel Relief
This keyboard is a blessing after the wireless keyboard that had originally come with my HD set up quit working. I have carpal tunnel syndrome and a recent surgery. With the inexpensive price of this 'natural' wave keyboard, it has performed incredibly well for the value.
Finger reach is easy, even though some of the keys are larger then the others. It actually makes it easier to hit the keys without stressing my hands.
The keyboard has a lot features, some of which I do not ... Read More

I purchased two of these faulty keyboards. I liked the keyboard until the "c" button stopped working. The second keyboard developed a broken "x". Both keyboards were used regularly for about three months before they malfunctioned... Definitiely not worth $15.
