Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

What I like about it: It feels good to type on it. Very comfortable, even if it looks a little weird. The separate number pad is nice too, since I rarely use it, but when I do the rest of the keyboard tends to be superfluous. The key action is smooth and quiet; the unit is light, but stays steady under my hands. It also looks cool. What I don't like about it: The communication with the dongle is for the birds. I've never experienced a wireless device (and I've had quite a few) that would hesitate and malfunction the way this one does. If I don't type a key for 5 seconds, the dongle apparently shuts off. I wouldn't have a problem with that if it weren't for the fact that when it turns back on, it at least remembered the first character you typed; it doesn't though, so I have to constantly backspace to add the first character I typed back into my typing; it's a very jarring experience. Additionally, some times when I "wake it up", it goes crazy, and starts auto-repeating characters across my screen. What the heck? Also, I'll be in the middle of typing and the dongle will just... stop. The only way to get it to work again is by unplugging it and plugging it back in. Infuriating. I've read on the internet how to disable the power-save feature, but that does not seem to solve the problem. I'll be looking for a new keyboard now.
