Is there a windows button near the spacebar? And how responsive is the keyboard because I intend to do a lot of gaming with it. Thanks in advance

There is no windows key. This keyboard is not for gaming, is for regular office work. If you are looking for a backlight keyboard for gaming go to Logitech.

There is a windows button by the space bar i believe on the right side of it..it doesnt have a windows logo on it but instead a square but functions as the same thing..as far as gaming goes i play bf3 counter strike and planetside 2 and have had no responsive issues. I dont know how you consider keyboard lag but overall it works just fine, just have the usb dongle be connected as close and in plain view of the keyboard as possible to avoid any lag..other than that for the price you really cant beat it....:)

Yes, there is a Windows button left of Space and between Alt and Ctrl buttons. I can't tell about functionality because I use Linux OS.

The right Windows key is there per normal. In place of the left Windows key is an FN button. Responsive: The keyboard is kind of stiff.

Nah, the laptop is awesome!! The space bar is actually a good size for the computer as a whole, especially cause the keyboard is as big as traditional ones

Keyboard is about 49.5 x 17.5 cm or 19.5" x 7" without the plastic wrist rest (which I recycled when I got it). Andrew Evenstar was very helpful in answering my own question about the Windows 8 compatibility, so I hope his info about the wrist rest is enough for you to gauge overall size.The keyboard stands up a bit, and also has attachments to tilt the keyboard if you wish.

Nooo the keys are forever getting stuck, especially the space bar. I wish I had not purchased it.

character and keyboard viewer in the top bar, if it is a certain way, it creates a problem, go into keyboard preferences and check to see how this is set, I had some problem with that, once I got it set, it works great!

I sent mine back and went to a wired solution for the keyboard. There were too many issues with it to be counted. The biggest is that it has a small footprint and I have large hands. The other reasons were lag times. I know that wired is old school for my desktop this was the best solution. My laptop I use its kb. I hope this helps.

There are 3-4 different backlighting modes...one of which is completely turned off. No issues entering bios after installation. Had this keyboard for about 6 months and I love it. The only thing that's missing is volume control, but can manage without that.

I have a regular keyboard on it and it just barely fits. The keyboard tray does not come out very far. I have the mouse up above. Other then that I am pretty happy with it.

I bought this laptop for my son. I asked him and he said there hasn't been any problems with the space bar. He highly recommends this computer.

There is a USB Port on the keyboard. Other than that, I don't see any place where you could connect it.

Quick answer : NO....I don't like that Asus keyboard so I use old Dell's one...I also DO NOT like that button to turn unit on - wonder if other buyers don't have a problem with pushing in ? (click it in ?)...Unit IMHO is worth to be really recommended - I like it ...regards

I didn't have any problem with the mouse other than it was too high for my desk, my scroll wheel worked fine, however my space bar is starting to stick again so I guess I will have to work on it some more. Actually I do like like this keyboard, one just has to be a good mechanic to keep it working, ha.

I find the space bar much louder than the other keys. I don't know if there is something wrong with mine - I just got it yesterday, but it makes racket compared to the other keys.

Its been driving me crazy! But I've been sitting here mashing buttons and found that if you press cmd+7 it brings up the task manager in windows. :))) I just found about twenty more hidden key functions. Seriously, get bored and you'll figure out how cool this little keyboard is!

Yes, the space bar is a little louder than other keys. It doesn't bother me though - I rather like the difference in sound as it confirms i have entered a space when i intend to. Interestingly, I was actually unaware of the difference until you brought it to my attention!

Any updates? Does this keyboard now allow for the mapping of a "Start" and "PS" button?! Please advise, I'm thinking of getting a keyboard but I don't know which one to buy for the ps3. The $80 doesn't seem to work that well (well, it's imperfect without any way to overcome its flaws).

I was watching the Engadget Show yesterday and they mentioned this keyboard does not have a Right-Click button? Can anyone verify that? That would be a pretty big consideration for anyone purchasing this unit for their windows boxes.
