5 out of 5 stars maybe the best small keyboard currently available on amazon   October 27, 2007

i evaluated two other small keyboards after becoming frustrated with the adesso 595. A4tech keyboard was one of the two i looked at. my requirements were 1) usb without an adapter; 2) full complement of the "windows" keys; 3) "shift" and "alt" keys on both sides of the space bar; and 4) size around the 12" x 6" range.

this keyboard does not have the typical laptop-style feel, but is responsive nonetheless and works well for fast typing. the keys are normally-sized. my only criticism of this keyboard is the placment of the "ins" and "del" keys.

- the "del" key is in the upper-right corner, which is not the most familiar placement.
- the "ins" key is to the left of the arrow keys

my preference would have been for the "del" key to be to the left of the arrow keys. the "ins" key is rarely used, so it should not be there.

so i searched for a way to swap those keys and found the excellent "keytweak" program and remapped those keys the way i wanted.

overall, this is the best of the 3 keyboards i have evaluated, and it is also the least expensive. so for value, i give this keyboard 5 stars.

The keys are pretty thin. It's what you would expect on a laptop keyboard. I bought it because I don't want to have the numeric keypad a normal keyboard has to shorten the distance of the keyboard and mouse. One thing that I DISLIKE about this keyboard is that you can not elevate it. Keyboards normally come with legs, so you can have it slightly angled. Function keys location requires a little getting used to.


5 out of 5 stars Nice Durable Little Keyboard   January 18, 2008

I have had this keyboard for about a year, and I'm very happy with it. It's not quite as silent as I would have liked, but it's pretty quiet. I like a quiet keyboard, especially for work so I can type while I'm on the phone without it being audible. I generally like the feel and sound of laptop keyboards. I hate the desk clutter of typical keyboards; they take up way too much desk space. This one is nice and small.

The A4 is pretty similar to a good laptop keyboard, except a bit better in terms of key placement and key motion is maybe a little more than a typical laptop these days. Tactile feedback is good for touch typists. Don't get this keyboard if you like the feel and sound of a regular full size keyboard though.

I am a pretty fast touch typist, and I particularly like the placement of most of the keys. Some compact keyboards do funny things like move keys around or make keys smaller. This one is pretty good in general. The Ctrl key is in the corner, the Shift keys, Enter keys, Backspace and Tab are all bigger, as they should be. There are bumps on the F and J keys so you can type in complete darkness if you want.

The only compromises that take a while to get used to are the Delete key is kind of small and not quite in the right place, and there's no right hand Ctrl key. Overall though the key placement, size, and feel work well for fast typing.

I purchased this keyboard three months ago. I've pounded on it, dropped it, dragged it, and it is still in working condition. The keys respond perfectly. And unlike other slim keyboards, the left CTRL key is in the right place. Highly recommended, you can't do better for the price. Only gripe: the backslash key is in an odd place (next to the left windows button).

I am strictly a laptop/notebook kind of girl. So when I started my new "desk job", I realized that I couldn't type very well on those traditional style keyboards. I wanted something flat, slim, and small; I needed a keyboard that was familiar to me. This A4 Tech keyboard was perfect for my needs.
