It took me a significant amount of time to decide on a keyboard. Everyone in the house is sick of hearing the clatter of my keys; however, this keyboard is noticeably quieter than the one that comes with the built-in laptop. It is quite helpful to be able to switch between devices quickly. The proportions of the keyboard make it possible to transport it in a bag of nearly any kind. Heavy, so it doesn't move around on the table much when it's being used for work. You will need to become accustomed to using the keys, although this will not take very long. Initial thoughts and reactions I have no complaints about the keyboard.
