Personal preference led me to seek out a wireless portable keyboard that could function with a variety of devices without the hassle of a cord. There are drawbacks to using this keyboard; after a lengthy period of time (I've been sitting for months), I found that I had forgotten how to type on a standard keyboard. Fortunately, this was just a temporary problem. Overall, I'm pleased with the keyboard, and if I don't come across something better in a few years when I'm ready to replace it (keyboards wear out on me quickly), I'll buy it again. Be wary, things like the lack of a number block or the lack of IR connection, the lack of LED backlight - are not a disadvantage, because. this should not be in the product, be careful, the other half of the reviews you can read are written by people who did not read the description and characteristics of the product.
