I don’t even touch-type in the standard way… I’m one of those four-finger-programmer/touch typists!) but to me the basic keys feel more like a high end “desktop replacement” laptop keyboard. The keyboard keys themselves are in a standard layout/spacing, with perhaps a tad shorter travel then a normal keyboard. You can that there’s a bank of special keys to the left of the standard left edge keys, a bank of “task” keys across the top, and a row of funky dual-purpose function key/menu short keys where you would normally find full sized Fn keys. There’s a detailed look at the left side of the keyboard. Tourįirst let’s take a closer look at the keyboard and mouse. If you want to customize the keyboard, you’ll need to install the drivers (Mac/XP) or some extra software for Linux – I’ll come back to that later. Setup consists of inserting the batteries and then plugging in the small USB dongle. If like me you misplace that CD, the drivers are downloadable from Microsoft’s website. In other words you’ll find the keyboard, mouse, USB dongle, 4 AA batteries, and the CD with Windows/Mac drivers. The intro photo above shows the contents of the box less the CD, which I somehow managed to lose within minutes.
