Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good keyboard, good mouse.

This is probably the best price I've found in years. Different people like different things about keyboards. That's exactly what I like about it. 1) I quickly developed muscle memory with it and generally don't have to look at the keys too much. 2) The keys don't go very far. (I don't like keyboards with hard-pressed keys.) 3) Doesn't make much noise. It's not quiet and doesn't sound as good as an iMac keyboard and I wish it were a little quieter, but it's not bad at all and I wouldn't expect anything better from anything in this price range. . (I also find that a lot of people don't like super quiet keyboards I guess.) 4) It has some programmable keys. Maybe one day I'll program them. Just a few things I dislike, but not enough to consider it less than 5.0 on a non-decimal scale. 1) Normally we would expect the backspace key to be in the top right, but there is a second delete key in that location. Delete is directly below. I don't even notice it anymore and backspace is still one of my favorite keys. 2) The home button is in the middle of the 9 buttons, so it's harder to find than if it were in a bank of 6 buttons at the top center. I think it's great for typing, but I use it for coding every day. I've been thinking about getting another keyboard for programming, but I'm used to this one and I think this one will suffice. Last but not least, it is designed for a slight forward lean. This is bad if you're very small, sit too low and can't see the keyboard clearly. Yes, and the mouse is well made. No click loss like some mice. Maybe it could be a bit bigger but that didn't bother me as I got used to it.
