The keyboard is ideal for people who type a lot because it would be wasteful to spend so much money on games or other activities like drawing or painting. It's beneficial for extended workdays. Another thing, not a problem, but something to get accustomed to, is the extra functionality on the f-keys after installing the right software. Several actions in my running programs are "hung" on these buttons. As a result of habitually hitting the desired button, the volume is increased or anything else occurs instead of the anticipated outcome. Of course, everything has the option to be modified or disabled. But having separate volume-control and track-switch keys on the keyboard would be more practical for me.
