I need a key pad that can keep up with the speed for accounting. Is this item responsive &amp; as fast as I can type?

I found this to be somewhat unresponsive due to a week wireless interface. I ended up returning it because it was so darn picky. For serious data entry, I'd get a wired numeric keypad.

Hi,I haven't had any issues with that so far. Keyboard seems responsive. I typed 2/3 of an article and had no problems.

I can't really answer your question but my business version hasn't got media keys or other extras, just a basic keyboard with calculator on the right side, really basic.

My daughter uses this computer constantly for school. To this point she has had no issue with the keypad.

If you want the feel and responsiveness of the mechanical keyboards but the quietness of the laptop keyboards I believe DAS keyboards offers something like that, here http://www.daskeyboard.com/ look for the silent model, it might be worth it if you're going to type in a crowded environment where others might be bothered by the clicky noise.

Seeing that I'm able to scroll up and down in IE right now, I'd say yes! The SpeedPad operates like a numeric keypad, only more complex. One could map Save and Insert Chart from MS Word into a profile, if you're into that... Although I find the Space key (the one marked "15") most sticky, and the Scroll wheel clicks loud.

Yes! i LOVE it. While the onscreen keyboard was OK for short notes, it was way too slow for anything longer. Having this keyboard was one of my favorite upgrade features.

Yes I miss having the number key pad.... so if I get into heavy numerical typing, I can just plug in my keyboard from my desktop.

I really am not great with computers. I love the software and can do great with that but know next to nothing about operating systems (I had to Google to find out how to find out what I was using). That being said I am currently using Windows 7 Enterprise and this keyboard is working great.

My significant other is a court reporter and she does some heavy, serious, significant, 'Legal-Business typing.' They keyboard, while seems to be up to the task, we've already, within about a week of use had to return the 1st. Keyboard. So far, the second one seems to be holding up to the work load. We've got our fingers crossed, er uh, still typing.

Yes indeed. I am very pleased with this keyboard - lets me make fewer key stroke errors. Like the click-clack sound - just like the old Selectric.

in short the answer is....it doesnt matter. the keyboard is junk. pass it up and find something better for the money.

I'm sorry Jean. I don't know the answer to your question, but I can tell you that it is very slow. I am a hunt n peck typist and even with my slow speed, it would miss letters because it was still sending the previous character. I liked the big, easy to read keys but gave up on it because of it's speed. Haven't had the speed problem with any other keyboards. Good luck.

The keys seem pretty easy to type to me. It's very similar to Apple's keyboards.

After reviewing an HP G72 on here it would seem to have the same keyboard. I'd give it a try. Were not exactly talking about and expensive item, eh?

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?

I'm sure it would. So for the keypad functionality, I think you'd like it. But note that the finger "mouse" pad is not very good. If "mousing" is more your thing than typing, then I'd probably try a different one. I ended up switching to just using a regular wireless mouse (only).
