Love my keyboard

 

I am very picky about the keyboard I use and this is my favorite! I\'ve bought 2 of them now. One for each of my offices. I love the feel and \'click\' of the keys as I\'m typing.

Comfortable Design

Quality going down

 

Nice layout

Quality has suffered over the years. This is not the sturdy keyboard of 5 to 10 years ago under the same model code

Best keyboard for the price

 

One of the best no frills keyboards around. Simple and rugged, its taken years of gaming from me and still feels great pulling off 120+ wpm. Keytronic has, and still does, keep the quality up and the price

My first one lasted 12 years

 

My first one lasted 12 years

I bought the LT Designer keyboard back in 1998, and have used it daily since. Well, after 12 years the shift key stopped working and it's finally time to replace it. Technically these keyboards have a lifetime warranty, but given that I have gone...

Works well!

 

I purchased some of these to use with USB KVMs in server racks, where a mousing surface isn't really available. These work perfectly with the KVMs, and the trackball does the trick.

Only one USB connector, easy to pass between machines

None that I can think of

I'm picky about keyboards

 

I'm picky about keyboards

I'm really picky about something I type on all day, and I despise mushy keyboards. I was considering a buckling spring keyboard (like the old IBM models that click loud), but was hoping for something a little quieter. This one is a nice compromise. ...

Made a mistake

 

WHY DID YOU HAVE A HORRIBLE DESIGN CHOICE. I bought this from @mazon not newegg D:

Ok, so this keyboard is pretty nice to type on

Ok, the stupid backspace key is 1 space which isn't life ending, but what is life ending is that the "\" key is on the left of it. Ok I am used to hitting plus there, and I always use the "\" key, so now it's in a horrible spot. And it REALLY slows me...

Great, but not Exceptional, Basic Keyboard

 

Great, but not Exceptional, Basic Keyboard

Great legacy-IBM styled keyboard. Comfortable to type on. Includes two basic Windows keys for Start and context menus. Keys have a slightly muted 'clicky' sound, so if you want a quiet keyboard, look elsewhere. Overall quality seems pretty good, but,...

Product Specifications

The Lifetime Trackball keyboard is a 104-key Windows-compatible keyboard featuring a built-in trackball. It's the perfect solution for users looking to make the move to a trackball and reduce desktop clutter. The Trackball keyboard is an example of innovative design and engineering. The trackball is ergonomically located below the spacebar for convenient operation - you can move your cursor without lifting your hands from the keyboard. Maintenance is a snap, since the retaining ring is easily removed for cleaning. Other features include an oversized L-shaped Enter key and three Windows application keys. And of course, the Lifetime guarantee covers all parts and components of the keyboard and integrated trackball mechanism, which makes the Lifetime Trackball keyboard a superior choice.
