I had an older cheap keyboard which went out after 3 months of use. My main purpose of buying this is for its durability. I am a S/W developer, so needed a good quality keyboard within a budget.Pros:- Feels durable, the keyboard keys are a bit tight (when compared with a laptop), but I got used to it in a few days. The keyboard is near silent, doesn't make all the clickety noises like a chicklet keyboard.- Mouse size is just right. My palm rests exactly as I want it to while fingers are just in the right position (I have average sized hands so it may differ for others). I don't know why people complain of having a thumb support. It makes the mouse heavier and not easy to move. All the buttons have the correct feedback as a pro mouse should have. Its also light which makes it easy to operate. The accuracy is good.Cons:- The spacing between key groups has been reduced so when I come home from office, it takes some time to adjust. Example when I intend to hit delete, I was hitting end most times. But you get used to it.- The signs printed on the keys seems like some sort of sticker. I hope it doesn't come out.- Shallow key travel, so I have to put less force (less than a regular keyboard but more than on a laptop).For the price, I think this looks like a good and durable keyboard. I wanted a simple one without all the multimedia stuff and this fits my requirements.
