Very comfortable keyboard

Due to finger joint discomfort, I have been looking for a while for a keyboard with a very light touch - meaning, little pressure necessary to depress the keys. Many laptop keyboards have this characteristic, but the Kensington SlimType keyboard that boasts laptop-style keys still requires more pressure than I am comfortable with to activate the key. This ComfortType keyboard is the most comfortable I have found, and as a result I have two - one for the office, one for home. The key shape has not been a problem at all. In fact, the distance between the lower and upper keys is closer than many, meaning less stretch/strain of the index fingers when reaching for, say, T and Y. I have had no trouble with repeating keys (having it send multiple keypresses when I intended one - eg "thhhhis is a tesst") or not registering keypresses.

My only complaint: I don't like the placement of the "\" key below the ENTER key (I'm used to it above ENTER and below BACKSPACE). Of course, that is one of those nonstandard keys that is subject to relocation on many keyboards.

Also, I'd love to have an optional "split" model, where the left and right halves of the keyboard could be rotated into line with the arm and wrist (ala some ergonomic keyboards).

I would have no reservations about recommending this keyboard.

Great keyboard

I got one of these because it's the only USB keyboard allowed by our company. But what a surprise! I find the reshaped keys really innovative, and the touch pressure required allows me to type really quickly (I touch type and laptop keyboards work with too little pressure to touch type quickly -- they cause more errors). Of course, I always liked the good old IBM clicky keyboards best (i.e. [...]), but this one, while it does not click like the IBM, allows me to type almost as fast. Until this keyboard was developed, the IBM stood alone. One additional tip: I find that I need a wrist pad in front of this keyboard (I have the matching black Kensington one) to get maximum speed out of this keyboard.

Despite other reviews, so far, I've had no problems whatsoever. Its just like a regular computer keyboard, but more quieter and its cheaper than Logitech's keyboard. The new design may or may not take some getting used to for some, but I know how to type well enough so there weren't any problems for that either. I haven't used it heavily enough since there's only one game I'm using it for right now (RPG Maker 3), but suffice it to say, I can't see me having any problems in the future with this, so I'd say its recommended.
