Raised keys or flush with the board?

The keys are slightly raised about one fourth of an inch (about half a centimeter).

Hi, Ben. The keys are about 1/8" or 3mm off the keyboard body surface. They are laptop style keys, but are raised about 3mm. Does this make sense?

They are raised, although not as high has your average conventional raised keys. The keys themselves actually press down quite smoothly, with littler effort needed to press them at all. (they're a bit noisy too, though)

They are raised, like a normal keyboard. But I am noticing that the 'paint' wears off quickly, menaing the letters and numbers, especially the keys I use a lot. I had it only about 6 weeks, and had to purchase transparent lettering to recover the keys. Cheap silk-screening of the actual lettering. If I could go back and do this purchase again, I would buy the silk screen lettering and the keyboard at same time, add the transparents with lettering, and walaa! The keyboard itself is still goaing strong, I love it, except for the chipping off of the letters. Thankfully I know the board, so 'seeing' the key is not that important.

yes, the keyboard has not stand, that´s correct. It is not uncomfortable because the key already is already slightly beveled.A to high angle is not very good for you wrist.We also use the keyboards :)

It depends on if you put the keyboard on the device or not. I have mine down low when I am sitting at the proper height for me, and then when I stand, I move the keyboard to the platform that raises up.

Frances,I'm glad you reported this. I watched the demo video on Ergotron's website and noticed the platform on which the keyboard rests does not provide the same level of solid surface area a regular desktop does. I would consider myself someone who types with normal pressure but any movement of the keyboard would take some adjustment.

The F and J keys do have slight raised dots, but the tactile feedback is not as good as it used to be (according to my memory). As far as I can tell the keyboard does not provide audible feedback through the sound system, but you can indeed hear it when you press keys. The layout is nice, and the keys are full-sized.Terry

I hear the keyboard is fine. It takes a bit of getting used to as there's no curvature to the keys, but they're supposed to be firm and easy to press. Personally I'd appreciate it just because the solid backing makes it harder to ruin your computer with a spilled drink, and the recessed tray means your display doesn't rub against the keys when closed.

I agree with my fellow purchaser below which I incorporate here in it's entirety: "The front is raised by 1/4" and the back is raised by 1 5/8". The front 1/4" raise is when you place the keyboard down into the stand so that the keyboard does not slip off of the stand. If if keyboard is placed on top of the front of the stand, then the keyboard would be raised 5/8" at the front." Ibid.

You are cleaning between the keys. If the stickiness is not due to something being between the keys, I would think that this is not the product that you need.

Because of monitor riser's size, I believe your keyboard would be longer than the monitor riser.

They are about half ways between both. Definitely not as low as laptop keys though.

Hi Bradley, Sorry about the delay here. I did have to go back and try the keyboard once again to find out what I can share with you. The keys work great. But unlike some of the high-end Logitech keyboard covers, the keys are raised, meaning if you are fastidious like me, it'd bother you to see dirt that would get underneath the keys. Having said that if you keep your cover closed after each use, you should be able to keep them clean for a long time. Hope this helped. Good luck!

The keys on my calculator are raised. There is no cover, but that has not been an issue.

Just turn the key to the "open" position and push the ends toward the middle. That should do it!

No you can buy the VIP accessory to tilt it center higher but not the front up. I bought an articulating keyboard tray for the that. In fact you really need the VIP accessory for this keyboard.

I'll have to dig it out of the computer junk pile that my husband keeps to take measurements. For clarification, you want the distance between the specified keys, correct? Also, what do you mean, by "how high are the keys?" High from which point?

Yes it is about a half inch or so higher and there is now way to lower it. It has the be a bit higher in order to shift/slide to the left OVER the keyboard when stowed and not in use.

When it is in the lowest position, I put the keyboard on the small pull out section below the monitor that sits right on the desk top and may be has a thickness of 1/2 inch. Look at the fourth picture on Amazon that shows this. Hope that is helpful.
