I am looking for a simple, rectangular keyboard that I can hear when I type and "feel" the keys, like it used to be. New keyboards with angles and tiny keys drive me crazy. Is this it, or does anyone have another suggestion I can consider (prefer white...

IBM USB, the original keyboard. I buy two at a time. The keys are elevated, fit the fingers, you can hear your keystrokes. In short, newer and ergonomic is not necessarily better, go with the IBM USB, cannot go wrong.

I have the same preference for keyboards. This one, which I've been using for many months is definitely heavy. The key feel is somewhere between the soft feel of most modern keyboards and the older ones I really liked. I find it acceptable if not ideal, but I'm not a touch typist. The key travel is about 1/8 inch. Hope this helps.

It types just fine. My only problem was that the letters and number, etc in the keyboard are grey color and somehow difficult to see, especially when light is low. I wish they were bright white color.Actually I am selling my keyboard and Belkin case, if you are interested, cal me at 410-8188424, Fernando.

They feel like regular keyboard keys. They are just situated differently. Hope this helps.

Btw....The EX110 is probably the best keyboard ever made.......I've gone through about 8 of them over the years.....that's not to say they wear out quickly, but that I use my keyboard a LOT........and I have 2 more in reserve.......I LOVE this keyboard.......z

In a word YES! The layout of the board is just flat bad. It was a mistake to purchase it. I have since gifted it to a young neighbor and purchased another keyboard for myself.

Up to the person I guess, I've only used Kinesis keyboards for awhile now and when I have to switch back to a standard keyboard it's very frustrating. Not impossible, but, after awhile (in my opinion) the Kinesis becomes what you're used to.

Standard keys and size of keyboard is size of my "normal" size keyboards. It has the look of "Mac" keyboard" therefore the Fn function keys are different then PC. If you type real fast I have read that this is a disadvantage with this keyboard. I use it with both my iPhone and an older Dell laptop. Comfort is in the eye of beholder but it feels good to me. Keep in mind the inexpensive cost and you could try it and then return if not what you want. Check return policy.

The original keyboard was 58221; that's the P/N on the bottom one I still have in service, which I bought maybe 20 years ago. They haven't been manufactured in a long time, and I was unable to find a used one on the internet. The entire board layout was larger than the MS replacement I also use. The ten keys between the letter keys and the number pad were, in the first model, laid our more intuitively. But any MS ergonomic keyboard is vastly easier to use than any rectangular model. And if it feels a little strange at first, after a couple of days it won't. And it's far less stressful on hands and arms.

There is a very small amount of movement whenever you touch the keys. It is much more noticeable at first -- I thought I'd never get used to it -- but after a week or so I didn't notice it at all. If someone else uses my macbook they will often comment on it -- because they notice the difference in "touch". It's definitely worth getting used to, though -- a clean (and dry) keyboard is a happy keyboard!

I'm still trying to wrap my head around "tendency to type loud." Is that something like a 'lead foot?' My keyboard clicks are audible; no one has commented that it is louder or quieter than any other keyboard I have had, but it has been noticed that I type faster. However, sadly does not eliminate the mistakes. We think the keys are a tad bit larger than other keyboards we have had.

no! infact i just gave it up.... too much hassle with that and lack of home and end keys in an otherwise nice little keyboard microsoft; bought a microsoft arc wireless keyboard for a bit more -- same one that i use in my office -- recommend it.

It feels like a normal laptop keyboard when you type on it. I think it has a good feel to it, and much better than my last keyboard, the Logitech Slim.

And Brenda, after I got off work, I played around with my keyboard. I guess I'd begin to concur that it's quieter than normal keyboards. I don't find it completely silent, but it's not as loud as a normal keyboard. As others say, it could partly be the way you type, too.

It is a standard keyboard with shallow square keys that are tightly aligned. Could take some getting used to, the home key is adjacent to the backspace which can be confusing. Other than that it is a regular keyboard that we use for gaming.

Nope, that is why i bought the keyboard though. It looks very slick without the lettering, if you can type without the looking then you should be good to go after you get used to the spacing of the keys.

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.
