Is the key board nice? like when you push a key a down is there travel distance? sounds weird lol I know.

yes there is travel distance and I find the keys a bit stiff, take a bit of pressure.

It works great for me, but I hunt & peck, so I'm definitely not a typist! The keys and especially the finger pad seem quite sensitive; about my only objection is occasionally when I hit the "e" key the edge of the "r" key seems to hook my finger-I have no such problem with other keys, nor with my keyboard at work?

Well my favorite keyboard is not this one in all honesty but I can say for the price and value of what it is it IS good and a decent buy. I noticed the the clicking notices when gaming aren't loud which really counts in my house because I play hard when I game and get to pounding at my keyboards pretty hard. I think that one is quiet compared to most. Just remember it is not a mechanical keyboard. Its a good value for the money and I considered it quiet. Hope this helps *smile... happy gaming!

The keys are shorter than most controllers. Synths/controller keys in general are a little smaller than piano keys (including better digital pianos), and A-500 and A800 are even smaller. That's why I sold mine. Really disliked the short keys. Disappointing, is superb controller for my DAW (Sonar), very good keyboard bed / action and quality (in my limited experience)... just... shorty keys.

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

I didn't get the keyboard. I got the mouse, the mouse is worth the cost, but it also isn't a hundred bucks... I can''t speak for the keyboard. I am currently using the steelseries gaming keyboard, with the dedicated gaming zone on the left. It is pretty nice. It took some getting used to. Mostly because there are duplicates of many of the keys and everything is kind of jammed together. I like it now though.

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.

It's more of a soft click. They have more depth than a laptop keyboard but it's nothing compared to a mechanical keyboard which is what it sounds like you're looking for.

I'm sorry, I only have a PC, but, while it was a beautiful product, the key action was very stiff and sticky and cut my typing speed down to nothing. I had to send it back. To be fair, I suppose it may only have been that keyboard, but I ended up getting a different product at a nearby store instead.

It's totally normal...There's not much movement on mine, but I think it's just one of those things you might have to initially get use to, but it's definitely one of the best keyboard covers that are out there so if you debating on getting I would just it because it's worth it :).

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.

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.

Sorry for not responding sooner. YES! The keys ARE wiggly. However, that was a selling point for me. I'm a nervous kind that finds moving the keys back and forth a pleasant habit while considering my next step. Silly? YEP!

The keys are not compacted if that's what you are asking. It is a small keyboard and basically as others indicated, it's only the keys. It feels a little heavy and give the impression of something that won't break in my opinion. Good luck.

The keys are not weighted! it's very light synth action keyboard...If you look for weighted keyboard, you need the heavy MOTIF (with accordingly heavy cost;)...

Probably, the keys are not weighted, so it is not the same feel as a piano or professional key board. It is a good starter to see if you like playing, and it is highly portable.

Good evening Mick;I was not concerned about a media key on the keyboard and pretty much knew that when I bought it. My keyboars did not have any paper work with it or instructions. The keyboard serves my needs just fine with my big fingers and the touch is very good. I also noted that none of the keys are assignable in other words there are no spares to assign a medial function to. I am sorry but that is what I have found out about it but still like it
