Has anyone else had trouble with many of the keys being very hard to press? Especially on the arrow keys; I was used to pressing control/arrow to movthrough text a word at a time; now it's hardly worth it! Also, do all keyboards spit out multiple letters if you hesitate? Sometimes the keyboard just stalls...and then when I press, I get multiple letters. Frustrating. Has anyone else had trouble with many of the keys being very hard to press?

I purchased this almost a year ago, I've had no problem with the keyboard, in fact, I love it. My wrist's don't get sore or the outside. No keys stick. My only problem with it is sometimes my finger get ahead of my train of thought and I type out the word wrong. I wouldn't change it for the world. Love the eronomic design. The mouse took a little time to get used to, but that time has passed and now I love the keyboard and mouse. Hope this helps anyone who is thinking about purchasing this item. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!

Thanks Rando213. I have an iMac too, running Windows 7 through Bootcamp. I was just wondering if anyone in my situation was having trouble using this keyboard while running windows on their iMac, because I saw another comment where the person said she couldn't get the keyboard to work when Bootcamping Bill G's POS OS. Anyways, thanks for responding!

The keys are really quiet, it will take time to get used to it though since the layout of the keys are not like any other keyboards. I catch myself hitting the \ key when I want to delete a letter, but all in all I like it and am sure others will as well.

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.

Have you got it to work before? I purchased one of these keyboards and had to RMA it twice. I got my money back after that and ordered another. I never got mine to work though, even after extreme internetting to find a solution.

I have first generation as well. I found the keyboard more of a hassle than a help. And I am a true typist so I was a little surprised at how awkward it is to use this keyboard. Really never could get it situated right, and then had trouble with capitalizing, etc. Would not recommend.

Hi I purchased two of these for family members and they both say the keyboard works great and they aren't having any issues. I believe yours may be defective.

It's not great. The keyboard has to be on an absolutely flat surface, and even then, often I found that I would either not get anything when I typed, or if I pressed harder, would get multiple letters. You have to get the hang of it, and type very deliberately. I haven't used mine much, frankly.

i am like you with this problem. my keyboard synch for about a month and worked good. after that time period, i haven't to synch or type with it. there must be a design problem with this keyboard. sorry you purchase it.

Good evening Mick;I was not concerned about a media key on the keyboard and pretty much knew that when I bought it. My keyboars did not have any paper work with it or instructions. The keyboard serves my needs just fine with my big fingers and the touch is very good. I also noted that none of the keys are assignable in other words there are no spares to assign a medial function to. I am sorry but that is what I have found out about it but still like it

I sent mine back and went to a wired solution for the keyboard. There were too many issues with it to be counted. The biggest is that it has a small footprint and I have large hands. The other reasons were lag times. I know that wired is old school for my desktop this was the best solution. My laptop I use its kb. I hope this helps.

I'm a gamer, which means I'm all over my keyboard, and I've never hit them once. They're a lot lower-profile than the rest of the keys, so you'd have to be trying to push them. Plus they take more of a solid push to even click than the rest of the keys. I wouldn't worry about it. :)

I've never been able to rest my fingers on it because as soon as I do, the key it's on gets pushed a dozen times. I usually end up having to type with two fingers just like I would on the screen.

Kent...UPDATE to my Post under C. Watts - I was able to reinstall the keyboard and get the F5 key to work. While the quality of materials is lower on the current generation of keyboards, mine is working fine and the quality is acceptable. As far as spacebar issues and such, I think it's just a break-in period you have to go through. And truthfully, this is the best layout of a keyboard I've ever used. I use it every day, all day long and just would not want to be without the split design.

Hey,I've been using mine for a couple of months now, and I haven't experienced the issues you're describing...I'd suggest you try using it with a different PC, and if it still misbehaves, contact Microsoft customer support - the keyboard is probably defective.

I haven't had this problem at all with this keyboard. You can type email and texts just like you would on your computer and move the cursor around the body of text with the arrow keys. You can jump whole single characters, whole words, paragraphs, etc. by using the command option and control keys in conjunction with the arrows.The ability to use the arrow keys is what really allows this and my iPhone to allow me to write email on the road almost as readily as on the computer.
