The only difference is the packaging. As far as the connection, it is USB only. There was no adapter for PS/2. This is a very good keyboard. I would not consider this a "cheapie" keyboard. Yes the price is very low, however I have been working with this keyboard for a couple of months now and I love it and it feels like a quality keyboard.

None. But I've used a cheap, unpowered multi-port hub with a mouse, headphones and this keyboard without any problems. Might struggle if you want to run an external DVD drive or something though, in which case plug the power-hungry thing directly into your computer and use the hub for weaker things. Or get a powered (AC plug-in) hub - they aren't that expensive.

Hi. It's been a long time since you asked the question, but, if you're still interested, there is a seller who sells 10 for $10, with $1 for shipping. I know you only wanted 3 or 4, but these 10 are cheaper than the 3 would have been. And, contrary to the answer you received before, these do work, very well, as long as they're used as intended (with the shiny side down, so it adheres to the keyboard). So, enjoy the extras, or give them away, but you can't beat the deal.The seller is NME, and, if you go to their page, enter "10 pc" (no quotes) into the search. There are three different sets of 10, for small, medium, and large laptops. Hope this info is still of some use to you. :O) Hi.

Electrically, this dock/keyboard is compatible. However, the black slot is too small. The manual implies that alternative plastic attachments can be purchased, but I have yet to locate them. The black mounting slot comes out of the dock (read the manual) and I cut mine in two using a bandsaw. It can be made to work, but it is not for the "faint of heart". You can find these docks for less than $30 and they sure are nice. My modified unit works great. I'd still like to find the alternative mounting slot though. It will work by simply removing the back plastic piece, but then the connector on the bottom is the only thing providing support - not a good thing. Electrically, this dock/keyboard is compatible.

Yeah, I can see where a sinking keyboard would be a bit of a turnoff. I didn't experience that with a unit I borrowed, but it might be a quality control issue. I found the shift key placement to be largely a non-issue for me and found myself more annoyed with the MSI Wind's mini-period and mini-comma keys. Drove me crazy.I do like the Samsung Netbook. I may just wait for the post-Xmas Desperation Sale to buy it either here or at Newegg.

Honestly, it's much like a regular keyboard. The "extra keys" aren't really extra, they are just a condensed/squished version of a keyboard. I don't have it in front of me, but I don't remember seeing anything unfamiliar.

The key board can b snapped in place to be used like a laptop or to transport or any other reason you care to use it that way its up to you; Mine is attached all the time; There's are problems with the connection, It doesn't always recognize when keyboard is connected and won't. Type and at times won't type what's imputed from keyboard I don't recommend this product.

I honestly have no clue.. I bought the keyboard for a friend... Tho he ended up just getting a new laptop.. Not sure why.. Apologies I can't help more..

No this is not a slim keyboard. It is just like a standard keyboard with no frills, but I had trouble with the computer from the moment I plugged it in. Problems stopped the moment I took it off.

Its just a PS2 connecter you can go to most resale shops or Goodwills and pick those keyboards up for a couple of dollars. Most everything is USB2 or 3 know so everyone got rid of the old PS2 connecters

This keyboard has a connector you plug into your USB port. It is not bluetooth. Has good response and feel to it. IMO: If you have the extra USB port to spare its worth it versus the more expensive bluetooth models

Hi GG,This keyboard is standard 'small' size and is a cheap piece of junk. Don't waist your money. It doesn't function as described, if at all. Very buggy and erratic operation. I recommend the Azio model KB336RP depending on your needs... It's a nice keyboard. Hope this helps.

in short the answer is....it doesnt matter. the keyboard is junk. pass it up and find something better for the money.

Not exactly sure why there is even an internal port, perhaps for a fan, etc? I plugged an extension USB cable into one of the ports and connected the other end to a 5-port usb hub so it sits next to my keyboard. Haven't needed to use the internal port for anything.

Whether or not the keyboard works depends on how it communicates with the computer. The purpose of this adapter is only to be able to connect the keyboard to the newer computers that only use USB ports to connect with accessories.

true story- the keyboard works great practically/mechanically.. but the feature set (that adds value and subsequently justifies the price) is not functional. LEDs don't matter, you're right- but when they go out after a month of normal use, i begin to question the value-added price i paid for the features - that's all.

10.9.1 is what I have on my Mac mini. It was pretty much plug and play. It did have, a few questions and promos when I plugged in to the USB port. I was told by others this was a plug and play keyboard . After all the Macally folks are pretty much MAC friendly when it comes to hook up. Try reboot after plugged in. Can you upgrade your OS? I agree that the website is not to helpfully. With that said I really like the feel of this new keyboard.
