 Slick, cool, and effective. Amazing value. October 28, 2009

I bought this KB for my home PC because I wanted something minimalist and simple. I also liked the style (all black with silver trim on each end). It was such an improvement over my Logitech MX5000 at home as well as my Logitech EX100 at work that I ordered a second one for my office shortly after the first.
br /
br /I have worked in IT for over 10 years and am very observant and picky about my computer accessories. I have probably used 30 different keyboards extensively. I have never been more impressed by a keyboard than now. These keys are very shallow and responsive. This required some major adjustment when I first got the keyboard. If you transition between this and other keyboards that have keys that are a "normal" depth/stroke, you might have trouble. If you are used to typing on laptops, then you'll feel right at home. The keys require very little effort to press so you can really lay down text at a rapid pace. I can comfortably type at 90+ WPM on this KB. The keys also feel like they are mounted well - for instance, you can push on the very outside corner of the space bar and it will go down, unlike some keyboards that are very resistant to off-center keypresses.
br /
br /This keyboard is very quiet. My old Logitechs sounded like typewriters when I really got going. This one isn't silent, but I can type in a quiet room and be at peace. With a little restraint, you could safely type while someone is sleeping nearby. The plastic is dense and I think a lot of the hollow tapping noise you would get out of a thicker keyboard is muted on this model.
br /
br /Speaking of the plastic, I would say the construction is OK. After a few weeks of use, I noticed that the silver trim on each side rattles if you play with it. Also, the rubber feet on the bottom of the KB are a little thin and the KB will rock a little if on an uneven surface (this also causes a tapping noise as the keyboard rocks back and forth). I resolved this on my warped desk with some Scotch tape.
br /
br /No clue on battery life yet. I'm approaching a month so far.
br /
br /As far as features go, there are none. There is no software to install, no caps lock/num lock lights, and no assignable function keys. There is an Fn button so the function keys can double as navigation buttons for a media player (start, stop, pause, eject). The F10-F11 keys have screen brightness icons, which I assume is a carryover from the HP Elite PC series. There are also volume up/down/mute buttons above the number pad. Other than that it is a plain jane keyboard - just what a keyboard should be. It has little folding legs in the rear to prop up the keyboard but this KB is so thin I think I like it better when it is laying flat on the desk.
br /
br /Some reviews suggest that the keyboard misses keystrokes and sometimes doubletypes. I observed this one time in my office. I don't know if it was a wireless interference issue, but this is NOT normal for this KB. As I said I own two and have purchased a third for a coworker who fell in love with the design. Of the three I have used, none have had a problem with doubletyping or missing keystrokes. I even use this keyboard in conjunction with a Microsoft wireless mouse and there are no interference issues. I have played modern FPS games and there is no lag or delay or whatever.
br /
br /In short, this keyboard is an excellent bargain, considering it is wireless.
Superb Wireless Keyboard September 1, 2009

I have to chime in with the other positive reviews here. This keyboard in no way feels cheap; in fact, it feels quite heavy for what it is and denotes quality, no question in my mind. (It does not creak on the sides, nor is it so light that it slides around while you use it. Neither have I experienced any reception issues.). As others have said, it's sleek looking and well thought out and saves lots of desktop space, and it simply installs in Windows when you plug in the USB. It's also very quiet.
br /
br /I was looking for a full size keyboard that was space saving and cordless, with easily accessible volume controls -- no other bells whistles. I also wanted one that could tilt; I'm not a heavy typist and therefore ergonomics are not a great concern, so I like having a keyboard angled toward me a bit (a seeming rarity these days). Love the typing feel too; again, this truly feels like a quality piece of equipment.
br /
br /It's demerits have been mentioned: Nothing to indicate cap or num lock status, (although, except via software, I have yet to see this feature on any cordless keyboard); and the USB LED really is bright -- I presume a well-intentioned effort on HP's part gone a little too far, but nothing some black tape can't handle (my USB is behind a tower).
br /
br /This keyboard seems to be made for the HP TouchSmart line, so props out to them for selling this separately. And also for designing something so good that, like another reviewer, I'm getting an additional one for work.

Keyboard Perfection September 6, 2009

Let me start this by saying that I'm a bit of a keyboard snob. I like the slim, low profile quiet keyboards. In the last two years I've gone through about 27 trying to find the right fit.
br /
br /Thank you HP! I can honestly say that this is the best keyboard I've ever used. It's quiet. It's slim. It has the great low profile keys that I love about laptops. It has all of the key features of a 'normal' keyboard with the little silver/chrome/whatever detailing. Which is just a plus.
br /
br /The distance from the receiver is great actually. I've tested it all the way across my office, which is a considerably large room for a home office (18' x 20'). Regardless. After my rather exhaustive search, I've finally managed to find a keyboard that meets all of my requirements:
br /Slim.
br /Quiet.
br /Ability to keep up with my 85/wpm typing speed.
br /
br /That's about it. There's not a draw back. Every one should have one.
br /
br /Thanks again HP! :)

I was looking for an ideal wireless keyboard that has a ideal price, weight, usage etc. I found this keyboard of hp for less than 30 dollars. I received it and tried it on my mac and I basically hooked up the usb port and thats it. The good thing is it has good wireless range so you can sit even further from your computer or TV... Shortcut buttons like volume contrast brightness work with my mac. So its just an ideal wireless keyboard especially for this kind of price.
Great Keyboard December 19, 2009

This is the best all around keyboard I've ever owned (which has probably been 10+ over almost 20 years). I'll start with the minor drawback: the sensor receiver emits an annoying blue LED light when any button on the keyboard is pressed. Simple solution: a two inch strip of electric tape completely masks the annoyance.
br /
br /Now for the good: I have several wireless devices, and this one works uninterrupted from over 40 feet away through walls! Unless you have a huge projector screen, and are sitting further away than that, this keyboard appears to have no connectivity issues that often plague other wireless gadgets.
br /
br /The feel, weight, profile, etc. of the keyboard is excellent. It appears to have fairly sturdy construction, and the keys depress effortlessly from their slim stature.
br /
br /A few minor considerations: it does not have backlighting, so any midnight World of Warcraft rampage will require a secondary light source. It also has no indication for NUM/SCROLL/CAPS lock. It hasn't been an issue for me (I only use NUM lock, and it's always on).
br /
br /I would highly recommend this product to anyone. I have spent over $50 on keyboards that faltered much sooner than this one has at $25.
