Is this keyboard has only one Shift key on the left hand side instead of two Shift keys on both sides like all other key boards?

This keyboard failed after not too long a time. Logitech's K400 is a better choice. And it has 2 shift keys. Says Windows but works fine with Mac.

That is correct. It has only one shift key, and it is on the left. It also has no way to disable the 'tap to click' on the touchpad so keep that in mind as well.

It seems about the same as the shift key below. It certainly doesn't impact performance.

I've been using this keyboard for a while now, and I don't think there is any problem with the hand rest. Perhaps this images might give you an idea on how the hand rest is and hopefully answer your question. http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/182h9wwhdwfkdjpg/ku-xlarge.jpg http://allaboutphotons.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/p9185055.jpg As for the Shift Key placement, people complaint about this version, here is an image of the "EVIL SHIFT KEY". http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/AP_a_uT6RDY/maxresdefault.jpg And here is an image of the Sidewinder X4 I have. Which is the one you are currently thinking of buying ;D http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81L%2BYvD63uL._SL1500_.jpg Notice that the Shift Key is cut in half on the 1st image... I assume people who bought the keyboard weren't aware that there are different versions (or models, which ever is right), for different people... so they complain... but the keyboard is not to blame :C

One has stands and attaches to another device, and one is only a keyboard that does not attach in any way to anything else, other than via Bluetooth.I have the non-attaching version and it works well, although the only complaint is the location of the shift key on the right side is awkward.

The one i have only does text , key strokes, nothing else...and not every key. maybe defective?

The right Windows key is there per normal. In place of the left Windows key is an FN button. Responsive: The keyboard is kind of stiff.

Yes it is. The only possible minor inconvenience for left handers is the back and forward buttons is made for right hand uses with their thumb. All of the other keys is friendly to use.

You can do all the shortcut keys with cmd key + x (cut), c(copy) etc. Also this keyboard has the cut, copy, paste, undo keys on the left side which I used all the time which saves a lot of keystrokes. This has been a great keyboard and my wrist pain has gone away totally since switching to this one.

In a word YES! The layout of the board is just flat bad. It was a mistake to purchase it. I have since gifted it to a young neighbor and purchased another keyboard for myself.

I have one. The keys are full size but there are only 61 keys (36 white and 25 black). But you don't really use the ones that aren't there anyway. (the ones on the far left hand side). The center C key is not in the "center'...it is more to the left. Hope this helps.

they are slightly smaller and packed a bit closer together. Also, the version I received has a very annoying feature that it does not have a right side shift key. OFten find myself touching the down arrow thinking it is a shift and goofing up my docs :-/ but overall it works pretty well for what it is.

JOHN: This keyboard has a Caps lock. Brief (~ 3-4 secs) message appears lower left screen when you push the Caps lock to indicate on or off. No Num lock as there's only 1 set of number keys which double as Fn keys for special characters.

Interchangeable - yes. You get two different keysets - one regular, one gaming (WASD keys on the left and others). The keysets have a clip on the side that you flip up to change out and flip down to lock in place. You don't flip anything upside down. Hope this answers your question.

No .. Has all the keys of a full size key board... BUT it measures only 5.5 front to back and 11.5 left to right and .5 thick.. Great key board for limited space..

one side has a key hole, other side has that flat switch thing, ( so ... no key holes on BOTH sides)

There is an FN key, but it does not look like function keys. I don't know if there is a way to use other keys for this purpose, but it it is not indicated on the keyboard.
