painted key labels wear off in months

Very light use of the keyboard, only web browsing, wore off the painted key labels in six months on several keys. Too bad such a nice design could not have been supplied a tad more costly but usable. Stamped/inscribed or permanent labels used to be...

Not too happy

I won't be keeping this keyboard. I bought it so I could type, but it seems to lack that functionality, which is unfortunate.

Quite neat and compact, I like the look, size, and feel of this keyboard a lot

Seems to get lost randomly on booting and requires unplugging/replugging. Using USB and PS2 both makes it cease functioning entirely. Worst problem is that it misses perhaps 30 percent of keys that I hit, especially vowels (which are, of course,...

ione GEMINI-N1 Silver/Black 103 Normal Keys 15 Function Keys RF Wireless Slim Multimedia Keyboard and Optical Mouse

For the price, this keyboard is a fairly good deal. The construction is decent. The range is not so hot, and if there is an object between the mouse and the receiver it will stop working. If you're on a very tight budget, and don't need good range,...
