Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kensington 64338 Comfort Type USB Keyboard (PC/Mac)
Customer Review: Excellent keyboard.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using the same Kensington comfort type keyboard at work for over 4 years, and I have to say it is the most durable and dirt-resistant keyboard I have used since the days of the old IBM clack-clack keyboards.
In regards to the negative reviews below, the PURPOSE of this type of keyboard is to be DIFFERENT. If you need a standard keyboard layout, this is not the keyboard to get. I am a writer, and I find the slightly reworked key layout delivers as promised. It is easier for me to work with than either a normal keyboard or those split keyboards (which are just too far out in left field for me). The touch of each key is solid and sure and, in addition to the changed layout, some keys are shaped diffferently for even greater tactile feedback for touch typing.
This is definitely a keyboard I would always want to use for my job.
Customer Review: This is a great fit for me!!

UPS just delivered my keyboard. I plugged it in and it was ready. I immediately started to type a letter I had on my desk and found this keyboard very comfortable and easy to use. I was using a small, cheap Dell keyboard and this is much better. It doesn't slide all over the desk and the small right Shift key isn't a problem at all. I don't use the back slash key so it isn't an issue because it is in a different location. The keys make a muffled sound and are much quieter than the clicky Dell keys. I have had it one hour and am very happy and would recommend it. Programmers would not like the position change of the back slash keyboard. Otherwise, it is worth the money and I 'feel' like I am typing faster and that's pretty good since my speed is about 85 wpm.Customer Review: This One Will Stay

I previously purchased the Wireless PilotBoard but returned it due to wireless interference. After much research, I wanted a black keyboard with soft keytouch and no noise. I decided to try Kensington again. I didn't need the Internet features on a keyboard so the 104 keys Comfort Type is closely standard. My fingers rest comfortably on the angled keys as if natural. I don't have to have my elbows close to my body. Only the main and function keys are angled. The number pad, arrows, and cursor position keys are not angled but is no disappointment. Lastly, I don't understand why the |\ key had to be re-arranged, the shift key shorten and the backspace key longer. It's a minor adjustment to make as a touch typist. Overall, I'm pleased with this keyboard.Customer Review: Good product at great price

This Kensington keyboard has a good tactile feel from the keys that I enjoy - firm clicks but not annoyingly loud (this is NOT like the kind of keyboards that can be easily heard when typing while talking on the phone, for instance). The angled keys in the center of the QWERTY layout do take some getting used to, but once so, they are actually more comfortable to the natural angles of each wrist, allowing you to flex your elbows wider as opposed to keeping them close in to your ribs. I've been using it as a separate keyboard for a laptop PC, and the USB connection is fast, easy, and reliable. WinXP recognized the keyboard immediately without me having to install any drivers. A simple device for simple use.Customer Review: Great keyboard
Summary: 5 Stars
I got one of these because it's the only USB keyboard allowed by our company. But what a surprise! I find the reshaped keys really innovative, and the touch pressure required allows me to type really quickly (I touch type and laptop keyboards work with too little pressure to touch type quickly -- they cause more errors). Of course, I always liked the good old IBM clicky keyboards best (i.e. [...]), but this one, while it does not click like the IBM, allows me to type almost as fast. Until this keyboard was developed, the IBM stood alone. One additional tip: I find that I need a wrist pad in front of this keyboard (I have the matching black Kensington one) to get maximum speed out of this keyboard.
