Hi. Yes, I think it types exactly what I put in. But the buttons are probably a little small for a male user. I have not heard about this product before I bought it either. I find it very easy to use by far (esp. pronunciation and translation) , and it helps a lot with my German course.

My experience was not very good with this product. It did not respond well it would choose other letters than the ones I was physically typing it seems to be cheaply made. I would definitely spend my money on a different product. I hope this helps you.

I have the Manticore model and since it is a lighted keyboard the light shines through the letters. With the lights out the letters look grey or silver, but I think it is just the plastic from underneath. I took a key off the board and the lower portion is a type of translucent platstic that accually comes through the black key top. So, no, not etched, but since it is transmitting light through the key it I believe it will never wear out. The only thing I cannot figure out even looking closely at it is did they paint the translucent keys black around the letters or laser cut the letters and key tops and push the translucent through. I wish I could be more help. It is very well built, but not a key switch board.

Some of the keys stick occasionally. Seems like the T, is the one giving me the most trouble. I still love this keyboard. I am not a very fast typist, so It doesn't interfere to much.

Hi-I have used Macally with some success. Their service is exceptional but the keyboard had an issue for me. I too, use it daily, a lot, and I found the letters all wear off quickly- in as short a time period as weeks from purchase. I received replacement letter which weren't an exact match and again wore off and even though I was ready to give up after that Macally, at no charge, sent me a new keyboard (I'd had mine a year). I was impressed. So, for your shorter answer, perhaps a higher end quality Macally would suit you better but definitely worth it to shop Macally. Search for water resistant!

By 'durable' do you mean is this item hardwearing, long-lasting, heavy-duty, industrial-strength? - I don't know that.So far (a few times) I received this ink cartridge sealed, I installed it in my printer and it worked fine until it run out of ink.I have to use this old model #140 because my old HP printer does not accept the new black cartridge model being sold.

Hi Sandy. It means opaque. When a sticker is applied to a key, it covers the original character on that key. I hope that helps. I really like these keyboard stickers.

I haven't had a problem with it getting tacky. I've had mine for a few weeks and it's working fine, just have to get used to typing with it.

You cn see that there is a document in it and if you press it down you can read most things through it, but is is slightly frosted, so what is written is not immediately seen. They are very nice and durable. I like the snap so that nothing can get out and get lost on the way.

I think you are asking about "Phonetic" spelling. That is, the representation of vocal sounds which express pronunciations of words. It is a system of spelling in which each letter represents invariably the same spoken sound. I use this device regularly. If you are a bad speller and/or unsure of a definition of a word, this is the device for you (I have that issue--hence why I bought this). I know how some work, and if you spell really bad many are useless. This one is the best I have discovered thus far (only the web/being online has proven better so far) This little device helps you learn to spell and understand words. Provides many examples of words so you can choose the one you "believe" you want. Hence why the dictionary screen helps next. It also has other functions for writing as well, of which I use. And, for you, it may help out if don't know the word, and the dictionary cannot supply one, well--it has a crossword game function that lets you put in part of a word and then supplies the possible words it could be. Such as a word starting with K????? Would provide you with a large range of words by filling in those question marks. I hope this helps. Oh, keep spare batteries with you. You never know when it will die, but it is always when you need the spell check!

It is a stick on type, BUT I had a hard time and was unable to get it to look real good/clear (Without Bubbles).As I remember it came with a small piece of cardboard to smooth it out, and it did not work well. Was the wrong tool for the job.It is good protection for the phone/No Belt clip/ adds overall size to phone and did not fit in my pocket anymore... Good Luck

Pretty well - I've had some words misspelled throughout the document but easily corrected. It is better than retyping an entire document. Use the Microsoft Word spell check to catch all of the small issues.

yes, it tells abbreviations info. It does not tell ebonic's typing such at BF, LOL, etc.

I had no problem with the letters wearing out or fading? Had one for 5 years. This is a good key board & mouse combination in my opinion. This is the 3rd one I have bought.

For me it has held up very well I have dropped my phone several times sense I purchased the case and no damage what so ever. As to the typing it does not seem to effect it any at all other than close to the edges until you get use to it. I have been very pleased with it.

The screen is quite easy to read - easier than a typical book. We have had a number of them over the years, and use them every day - for our version of Scrabble, at the computer, while reading. They have lasted various lengths of time depending on how we care for them. We find they need to be kept out of the heat, and not be jostled, so take especially good care of them when traveling. The way they 'go bad' is that the screen eventually develops blank lines through the words. If anyone knows how to prevent or correct this problem, please let us know.
