Pros

  • Scroll wheel just below the spacebar
  • Small size – the numeric pad can be 'slided' rightwards from underneath the QWERTY keys
  • additional USB-connection on the back of the keyboard
  • Large BackSpace key
  • Small Enter key, occupying just one row

Cons

  • No ps/2 connection
  • Too much symbols on the keys makes you loose orientation when looking at the keys. The package also showed me keys WITHOUT all these symbols. In the end I scratched all the superfluous symbols of the keys with a sharp knife.
  • The CapsLock key was stuck to the bottom when I unpacked the keyboard. When lifting the CapsLock key, it appeared a metal wire underneath the key (to distribute the key pressure horizontally) wasn't attached to the bottom. I manually had to repair this.
  • This is personal, but I would've like to see less pressure needed to press a key
  • Keys, if not pressed in the center, exhibit too much resistance. Especially with the TAB-key which is a large key was causing my little finger troubles. After lifting the TAB key it appeared there was place for a metal wire to distribute the key pressure horizontally (like I found in the CapsLock key), but the wire wasn't there? I manually bend a paperclip wire to put underneath the TAB-key and now it is working a lot better.
  • Unnecessary `|\' key left of the spacebar
  • Size of the right control keys `Alt Gr, Windows, Right mouse button, Ctrl' too small
