Keyboard Size. Wind vs. Eee1000h I read that the wind is 20% smaller than a full sized keyboard. That makes it 80% of a full size. The Eee 1000h says their keyboard is 95% of a full size. How pronounced do you think this 15% difference is going to be? I sure wish i could type on each one to help me determine. Keyboard Size.

I find that the Wind keyboard is larger -- and very comfortable for a professional (!) typist. The EEE keyboard I found cramped, the space bar didn't react to my normal thumb pressure, so words ran on with no spaces, and especially weird -- the right shift key was OUTSIDE the locator arrows. Didn't like it at all. Love the Wind.

according to laptop mag's comparison review of the wind and the eee pc, they are almost the same size. The eee's keys are slightly larger. They preferred the wind's keyboard though. http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/eeepc-wind-faceoff.aspx?pid=2I'm sorry to hear about your stolen laptop too! Hopefully the wind will be a good replacement for you.

I have the Eee1000h. I'm a touch typist with good typing habits, and I find that the keyboard is still slightly cramped. I wouldn't want to buy anything smaller. If they upgraded the HP MiniNote 2133 to use Intel Atom chips, that would be the one to buy, as it's keyboard is full size and very comfortable to type on.

It is a little smaller than the average keyboard, maybe the size like what you would find on a 15 - 17 inch laptop. For me it was easy to get used to.

The size of the AO756-2641 is a little wider than the D250-1584. I prefer the keyboard from the D250-1584 over the AO756-2641 but other than that, I love them both equally. It all depends on what you use your laptop for and how often you use it. If you need certain memory, the 756 is comparable. If you like the size of the D250-1584, look for something similar to it.

Not a full keyboard. It only had 76 keys. A solid first starter for a kid though.

It's a full size keyboard. It's awesome to type on. They made it compact my trimming the sides, cutting out the number keypad, and lowering the keys (the low clearance keys are great).

Yes, this laptop has a full number pad for 10-key numbers. That is one of the main reasons I chose this model. The keys are flatter than my desktop keyboard, but so far I am liking it.

@CJV from a review:The best part about an 11.6-inch widescreen is that you don't have to suffer the 1,024-by-600 resolutions found in 10-inch netbooks like the Toshiba mini NB205 and the Mini 10v; the 11z, like the A0751h and the 1101HA, has a 1,366-by-768 resolution. Its keyboard, unfortunately, is not full sized like that of the A0751h. At 92 percent of full size, it delivers a typing experience touch typists can adjust to, though, similar to the 92-percent ones found in the 10v and the 1101HA. The large touchpad is like that of the 10v, in which the mouse buttons are concealed within it. (so its indeed 92% only) @CJV from a review:The best part about an 11.6-inch widescreen is that you don't have to suffer the 1,024-by-600 resolutions found in 10-inch netbooks like the Toshiba mini NB205 and the Mini 10v; the 11z, like the A0751h and the 1101HA, has a 1,366-by-768 resolution.

No. When compared with a standard laptop keyboard without numeric keypad, it's about 15-20% smaller.

The keys are normal size not small or big. It is really a great keyboard and you are thinking of buying a game keyboard it is great I've had no issues with mine at all.

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.

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.

The padfolio keyboard is 10" x 4". By comparison, my Macbook keyboard is 10 3/4' x 4 1/2". So it's almost the size of a regular keyboard. The keys are about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch. I find the keyboard comfortable to type on for a long period of time. I've written 900+ word blog posts on it and countless medical charts. My fingers are rather slender but I think the keyboard would be comfortable for people who had bigger fingers. It doesn't hurt my wrists or arms to type either. To me it feels like I'm typing on a 3/4 size laptop.

I would say this keyboard is right in the middle of the two, because it is not loud, or quiet when i "strike" the keys. I have had this keyboard for about 2 months now, and i still love it.

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.

The keyboard is full size when folded out, but this keyboard doesn't give you much time to pair with your device. I haven't been able to use it.

To nagappa...I'd like to ask if the layout of the keys of a Bilingual keyboard any different from the American standard keyboard? Basically, what I'm really trying to say is--do they have the exact layout? Please, let me know. Thank you.

It is not full size. It isn't as comfortable as using a full size, but for occassional use it is adequate. I wouldn't use it for anything that I would have to type a lot for. Overall, it is an improvement over the touch screen keyboard for me.
