Will this keyboard work for heavy document/email business typing? I do not want a gaming "living room" keyboard.

The keyboard is full size if that's what you mean, just slim profile and no extra border keeping it small. The keys are "island" type like a laptop and seem pretty sturdy. Only time will tell if they hold up but seem promising.

The keyboard and mouse constantly lost connection. I do not use it any more.

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.

I've tried it, It will work for simple usage such as typing, it does not have a numbers lock feature, so you can't use the number keys on the right side of the keyboard you have to use the ones at the top of the keyboard, you have different keys that you may want to us for a PC that are not on a Mac keyboard. I you want you could buy on to try it & see how it works for you, if you are not comfortable, return it for a refund (make sure where you but it they give you a refund and not store credit)

I personally would not consider this ideal for writing for extended periods of time. People don't realize this, but this lap desk is actually relatively heavy, sometimes to the point where my 13" MBP is on it and it's all on my lap and feels like its just crushing my legs- maybe I'm just sensitive..At any rate, if you plan on like writing your daily notes on it, then it would be okay for that. But if you're looking for a long term solid option, I would look around at other options first.

Yes, that is what I got it for, don't buy it. Keyboard letters work half the time. Hope not too late, I was disapointed. I use the case sometimes anyway.

not a standard keyboard but if you have a smaller size one it would be ok. I use it for pens, pencils, notepads etc.

I have found it fine for typing. I will grant you that I don't do an excessive amount of typing, but for emails and such, I find the angle comfortable.

No. There is noticeable Bluetooth latency with this keyboard. Great for media centers, terrible for high action gaming.

Should be ok, but it only works like a keyboard / mouse. My suggestion is that you can find some other similar ones that are a half size smaller than this one. This keyboard is too big; I cannot hold it in just one hand. My friend has a smaller one, she can type the keyboard and move the pointer around with one hand. Very convenient.

Glad this helped. FYI, I have posted a photo on the product page. The app on the iPad screen does not show up well (glare!) but it is open to "Pages" - where I was trying out some typing. I too take notes at conferences/meetings and was thinking this keyboard would be excellent for that (either on the iPad or the MacBook Air). For use at an all-day meeting carrying the extra-wide keyboard isn't an issue. Enjoy!

I have to agree with previous post. I spend 8 + hours per weekday typing for work (straight typing) and it has just enough "resistance" so you know you're pressing, but not so hard your fingers get tired - :)

The keyboard function is fine however I don't recommend this tablet and suggest u do further research. See my comment on this item

I have used this keyboard for about 4 years and love it. As with most keyboards, the wearing away of the coating on the keys for the most used keys is a pain. As long as you are a "typist" and not a two-finger-hunt-&-peck typist, you will be fine. The soft blue back-lighting makes it nice for use in low-light. It's a large/long keyboard, so I dispensed with the wrist rest thing. Overall, I am happy with mine.

I've been using it for gaming but I wouldn't recommended it, the right enter key fell off after the first month, overall the keyboard is nice but not for excessive button smashing

Katie, if you have deft fingers this could be a fine computer for you. The keyboard is great for typing - but the touch-pad is oddly positioned and somehow combines excessive sensitivity (when you don't want something to happen) with sluggishness (when you do). I think of my G6 as good for fairly light jobs - though if I used it more, I'd probably get more confident about bigger projects. Programs run smoothly and quickly, anyhow.

Hi Brenda I use this keyboard at work. I tend to type with strong touch, so it's loud but I don't quite concern about it.(I can't type quiet that's more of my problem than keyboard )I think it not so loud if you type as most average users.Nick

Definitely not if it is a standalone keyboard. Perhaps, if it is a folio-style combo.

It's not really designed for gaming, but excellent for general use and programming. Light gaming has no issues, but if you want something more suited for gaming, you'd probably be better off using another keyboard. There is no backlight.
