Does the wrist rest come off? My last one needs all the keys replaced especially since I'm not a touch typist. However, I hate the wrist rests on most keyboards.

Actually, I bought it anyway and found out when it arrived, but thanks for answering.

Yes. My unit was delivered with the wrist-rest not attached to the keyboard. I have never connected it to my keyboard.

The tray is not attached to the armrest in any way except the friction of the rubber feet under the tray and the plastic arms. I'm not small either, and there is plenty of room to put the tray out as far as I need. The problem is that there is nothing supporting the fold out arms that you rest the tray on expect for the plastic hinges, and they tend to crack and break after a while if you tend to pound on your keyboard. It takes months to break (unless you are REALLY hard on it), but break it will. It also causes the tray to jump up and down with the movement of the arms, which is a little annoying.

I don't know. I have to hit the keys fairly hard which is OK since I learned to type on a manual typewriter. I don't have a problem with run away keys, but sometimes, if I dont' hit the keys hard enough, they don't print. I do have a problem with a sticky "backspace" key. Sometimes it does "run away" and deletes entire lines before I can hit another key to stop it. I have had 2 of these keyboards and both did the same thing. The "backspace" key will stick in a depressed position. I do love the big and easy to see keyboard. My first one only lasted 90 days though before the mouse wheel broke. Kate L.

You'd have to put it on, first. The wrist rest ships underneath the keyboard in the factory box.

Hi Vivian!I know exactly what you mean - the new keyboards drive me crazy too! The keys are too small and so close together that I was constantly making mistakes and running my words together. Very frustrating! Now, my errors are just "operator error"! Ha, ha!My office recently got this keyboard for me and so far, so good. It's just like the "old fashioned" keyboards where the keys are raised above the surface of the keyboard. It is not a quiet keyboard, meaning you can hear when you're typing. And, yes, you can "feel" the keys when typing too. I highly recommend this keyboard if you like the original keyboards from years ago. And, if you find it doesn't work for you, you can always return it. :-) Hi Vivian!I know exactly what you mean - the new keyboards drive me crazy too!

I am sorry for what happened to your keyboard, but I have not had any problems with keys falling off. My only problelm has been the function of the keys with how one would normally type on the computer. Nothing breaking, cross my fingers.

I have been using mine for a while now and none of the keys stick on it. It is better than most small keyboards I have used.

I'm sorry you have had problems with your other keyboards. My first "Keys U See" lasted three years. I replaced it with a second one which is still going strong after two years. I don't use it every day, but when I take it to my adult education classes, sometimes three in a week, I am often typing for 1 1/2 hours straight. I recommend downloading frequently to avoid losing documents in case there is any problem. I'm glad I have this keyboard and recommend it to anyone. If you have any more questions, please let me know.

No, keyboard does not tilt up where the wrist rest is. There are, however, feet at the top of the keyboard that can be up or down to change the angle of the keyboard. The wrist rest is built into the keyboard - comes attached. Wrist rest slopes towards my body ... but it doesn't feel awkward - just adjust your chair height to get your wrists at the right angle. Keyboard itself is built like an upside down "v" shape - high point in the centre of the keyboard and then slopes gradually downward to the left and right sides ... this is the preferred ergonomic way one should be typing - with elbows slightly away from our sides.

Thank you. You should be able to discuss this with the manufacturer as to why the letter vanish. I am sure I can buy a new one, but I had a keyboard for 10 years that was still quite legible. The one that came with the PC is shabby. Also, please tell me why this computer is listed now at $845.00 ... Did I receive a used one ?

EXACTLY! It won't go off. I sent the keyboard back immediately. Sorry, 451jude

No It doesn't have a wrist rest. It is a very nice keyboard tray. I'm glad I bought it.

I am a newbie too! I tend to shut my keyboard off when I am using my device as a tablet. There is a little lag time when I do fire it up to use the tablet/keyboard combo as a laptop, but it saves battery life and prevents inadvertent keystrokes etc. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure if it tilted up where the wrist rest was, I couldn't get past the discomfort of a split keyboard. The wrist rest was hard not soft so in my opinion it wouldn't cush anything. Other reviews may talk about it more, sorry.

i know this is probably a ridiculous question, but is the keyboard tray removable? my desk servers a multidesk office, craft etc. i want to be able to move the tray if need be.

I have had mine for a while and I have not noticed any warmth in the keyboard. The letters on the keys have not faded or come off. Have not noticed any of the keys sticking at all. All in all I love this keyboard and wish I had gotten it years ago.

My keyboard slants too but the wrist rest sits higher therefore mine does not slip away. I am able to rest my wrist on the wrist rest comfortably while I type with no issues what so ever. Hope this helps.
