Office/E-Mail/Typing/General Use/Noise
Well it's a keyboard, but the keys aren't that noisy, but they still produce some noise. I typed an eight page report with this keyboard, and I liked it. The keys have some weight to them, but not so much that you will get sore. The F1-F12 Office keys were VERY nice. I no longer had to stop, pick up my mouse, and then click on spell check or any other function. In fact, I barely had to touch the mouse while typing. Everything is on the keyboard: window close, homepage, e-mail, cut, paste, copy, play, favorites. Wow! This took me completely by surprise, I love not having to stop to pick up my mouse! Wow!!! Very Nice!

The paint on the keys did not wear off at all, the paint used is heavy duty and once again, you can actually feel the letters while typing, cool! Surprisingly all the hot keys worked with Microsoft Office 2000 and 2003, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. No issues there.
