Solidly built, but not a "clicky" keyboard
By Steve Ko
I am on a quest for the perfect keyboard, and I had high hopes that this would be The One. Unfortunately, it isn't.First the good things. I like the layout a lot. For ergonomic reasons, I prefer my keyboard to be as compact as possible. With a wide keyboard you need to reach farther for your mouse (for righties) which puts undue strain on the right shoulder. Most compact keyboards dispense with the numeric keypad entirely and/or cram the arrow keys too close to the Return and right Shift keys. This keyboard's layout manages to be compact without committing any of these sins. The keyboard is also rock solid. It feels like it will last a good long while.The keyboard falls short in several areas. It does not have any USB ports so there is no place to connect your mouse. The major failing of this keyboard, though, is the key action. I was expecting it to be a "clicky" keyboard because it is advertised as having "mechanical" key switches. It is definitely not a clicky keyboard. In fact, It is actually rather smushy and requires significant pressure before registering a keystroke. I'm finding that it is more tiring for my fingers to type on this keyboard than on the other keyboards I own.Key switch action is largely a subjective thing. Some people may like smushy keyboards. But for me, I like to have tactile feedback that my key press registered. Until I can find a compact keyboard with this characteristic, my quest for the perfect keyboard continues.

A rock-solid keyboard, a joy to type on
By Accuracy
Cherry's classic 104-key keyboard was exactly what I was looking for, and this is from a guy who loves keyboards. The action is nearly as good as a Model M, but it's quiet enough to not bother pretty much anyone. The fact that I grew up on a very similar keyboard probably gives me a bit of bias, though...
