Do ALL SIX LETTERS appear on screen if, when using a word processor, you press SIMULTANEOUSLY the six home-row keys s, d, f, j, k, l?

Hey Nancy, From my experience with this keyboard I do not know a good answer to that question, but I bought this keyboard for multimedia and I have to say its been working out excellent. I believe you want be disappointed.

Hi Nancy. I don't know the answer to that. What I do know is that the Elite v2 is not the Elite and although I ordered two "Elites" they both turned out to be v2s. Seems the Elite, which was an incredible keyboard, is no more.

Nancy, the keyboard has some faults. Rarely you will find a keyboard that allows 6 keys to be pressed at the same time without missing a letter. I actually feel that this keyboard is worse than that. It also has a glaringly bad light that lights up with every keystroke. This keyboard isn't the best thing for a word processor for those reasons, as well as one other. The ergonomics on this keyboard are non-existant. This keyboard is perfect for home theater uses as well as for XBOX 360. Uses beyond that are really not recommended by me. Hope this helps.Battery-wise, I still have yet to exchange them out. Nancy, the keyboard has some faults.

Yes. There are just seven buttons, but one of them- the "Demo" key, will present you with some lovely classical pieces. The keyboard itself is marvelous, and a good deal for the price. I hope this helps.

It would be too time-consuming to list all of the letters, but rest assured there are a lot of them! The instruction manual comes with a list of possible words, which must be more than 100 total. I selected a word I knew I would remember from the list, and it's pretty easy to operate using that word. I recommend it.

Yes, the home keys F and J do indeed have the raised bumps. The 5 key in the numeric keypad to the right also has a raised dot.

Hi Allie, I haven't used that function bc you can touch the screen and it will pop up select or select all and then Copy...But I tried to do command + C and command + P and did not work. However I LOVE these keyboard! Luciana

Yes all of the home/end. Arrow keys, etc are on the number pad, you have to press nmu lock to switch them. And the F keys require no activation that I've noticed, I'm always able to use them without any other key toggling them.

Yes, you can map it anyway you like and it the same as hitting that key on the keyboard. You can even map combinations such as atl+F or ctrl+V into one keystroke. Very handy.

No, it does not. Also missing from keyboard functionality are indicator lights for caps/num/scroll lock states.

I am not sure but I can tell you the keyboard stinks - if you don't hit the keys just right, they do not register and I have constant typo's. Just something to consider.

Yes it does. If you go to the search window and type in On screen keyboard up will come a keyboard and you use the pointer to type. It may show in the wrong place on screen but just drag it down to area so not to cover your area typing.

No, it doesn't. The picture is accurate: the top row buttons are ESC, F1-F12, PrtScrn, ScrLk, and Pause. No buttons for multimedia, no buttons for accessing your Facebook or Twitter accounts, no buttons for making you a decaf half-foam latte. Great keyboard.

Yes. But don't buy it. All of them have bug with keyboard, just google it. I regret buying this one.

Function keys = yes; F1..F12 = no. There is a row of keys above the number keys with various function icons. I don't think I've ever used them or thought much about them.

You can have up to six keys pressed down at one time. If you have a PS/2 port on your motherboard you can use the USB to PS/2 adapter to get N-Key rollover, which means you can have an unlimited amount of keys pressed simultaneously, and they'll all be registered. Have a nice day!

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.

Does this keyboard have keys for using Microsoft Word, like cnt-B for bold-face type, etc.?

No. Everyyhing is ok except for the keyboard. I can't figure out how to make it function properly. Sometimes I press akey and then the option for that letter gets typed. Love the screen and resolution.
