I prefer a keyboard with minimal key travel - are the keys on this more like a regular mechanical keyboard or closer to a laptop's keyboard?

The Sculpt Comfort keyboard is more like a mechanical keyboard. If you are looking for less key travel, I would recommend a scissor-style keyboard (also called chiclet). I tried the Sculpt Comfort Keyboard, but ended up with the HP Wireless Elite Keyboard v2, which requires a wrist rest but feels great to use.

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

Hi, the keys are close together, definitely closer to a laptop keyboard and just as smooth to type.

They're more in between. Definitely more substantial than laptop keys as they're also a little thicker, but much shorter than a mechanical keyboard. Try them for yourself :)

Do you mean by the amount of keys being less like a laptops or the keys themselves? The keys are short and smooth like a laptop so it is quicker and easier to type, which is what I was looking for. The keyboard itself isn't that big and has 2 spacebars, 1 of which you can change to a backspace which I found to be pretty cool.

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.

I really find very little difference between my flexible keyboard and my laptop. At times the flexible keyboard will double type a letter because I do not get off fast enough. There are times when I feel I may have to hit the space key harder, but other than that I have no problems with the keyboard, the majority of errors while using the keyboard are mine.

It is more like my 15.6 inch laptop keyboard. Perhaps only slightly bigger.

I think it would be better to just buy the whole keyboard to replace your current keyboard in that replacing keys on a laptop is a lot more complicated compared to on a desktop's keyboard. Keep in mind i'm not entirely sure of it myself. :-/ Though I haven't found any issues with the keyboard at the moment.

The keyboard is pretty similar to a laptop keyboard, the typing experience is pretty equivalent to any modern laptop

Personally, I think the keyboard on the Sharkk feels much cheaper than the Logitech. I also think it's a bit thicker (haven't compared measurements). That said, the reason I went with the Sharkk was because of its rotating clamshell design and low price.

It is smaller than a desktop keyboard. Pretty small actually (about a foot wide). I got it so I could travel with it in my over the shoulder tablet bag.

I would say the keys are fairly quiet. Not loud like the cheap keyboards you find else where. It's a great work or school laptop just kind of big

I found some info which I have copied and pasted from Logitech India site. Hope this gives an idea. PerfectStroke key system. Your typing experience made near perfect. . Tapping into your needs Clickety-clack. Remember that sound? The old electric typewriter. If you are old enough to remember, it isn't just the clickety-clack that you probably miss so much. Rather, it's the way the keys felt under your fingers. It's a desire to create an unforgettable typing experience that drove us to create Logitech PerfectStroke key system. PerfectStroke combines the best of laptop and stand-alone keyboards to help make every key stroke smooth, comfortable, and whisper-quiet. See all keyboards with PerfectStroke . The perfect blend Traditional computer keyboards and laptop keyboards each have their benefits. Stand-alone keyboards generally use keys with longer, more comfortable key travel. Notebook keyboards have shorter key travel, but use a scissor-key mechanism that makes the response faster, compared to standard keyboards. We figured why not give you the best of both worlds? PerfectStroke creates the perfect blend of laptop and traditional keyboards by combining the smooth action of notebook keys and the comfort of traditional keyboards. . Smooth moves You don't strike the keys perfectly every time. Sometimes, you might just catch the edge of a key. With PerfectStoke, you won't feel the difference. Precision micro-scissors distribute force evenly across key surfaces so every keystroke you make is natural and fluid - even the imperfect ones. . Travel in comfort With a typical notebook keyboard, your fingers have to travel 2.2 mm to activate a key. Most desktop keyboards, on the other hand, have a much more comfortable key travel of 3.5 mm to 4 mm. We gave our PerfectStroke keyboards a 3.2 mm key travel - so you can enjoy silent, responsive typing that's comfortable too

The keyboard seems fairly standard size to me. There is some resistance to the keystrokes.

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.

Yes. I like the keyboard, but my wife feels like the key press is too short a distance...

Nah it feels a lot like a regular PC keyboard. Only main difference is it's layout. Otherwise, it's the same.

It's a regular keyboard ... it doesn't have any features that would make it easier or harder to be used by a given age group. On the other hand, it is a full size keyboard, so all the keys are nicely spaced out and since it's not wireless the user doesn't have to worry about turning it on and off or replacing batteries.

Easy. But the keys are not exactly in the same place as the microsoft kb..this keybiard is smaller.

They are almost as flat as a laptop keyboard and have a low travel distance when pressed. That's why I bought it along with it being not as wide as standard boards yet has a full size shift and backspace key, and it's held up great.
