Customer Review: Maybe the last game in town for traditionalists
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not exactly old, but I am old school. I type fast, I love keyboard shortcuts, and I use my keyboard much more than my mouse. I like my desktop keyboards with a decent, deep key throw and a good, tactile feel. I like my F1-12 row and PgUp / PgDn / Home / End keys to be easy to find and touch on a moment's notice. I don't want any gimmicks like "system function" shortcut buttons all over the perimeter, slim-profile laptop-esque keys (or, worse, chiclet keys!), nor split / angled / mangled key layouts.
If you have gone into an office supply store any time in the last year or two, you know these are the dark days for people who want good, no-nonsense desktop keyboards. For secondary systems, I've actually taken to buying used keyboards that are 5-10 years old over anything newly made. Even the stuff that came in the box with off-the-shelf systems in 2002 is better in feel and utility than the garbage being sold on the shelves of Big Box for $80 nowadays. (Want proof? Look at what certain multi-billion companies from Redmond are doing to their function row lately...)
So thank you, Kensington, for holding out... sort of. I have had the *new* version of the Keyboard For Life on my main desktop system for about 24 months now and I am still pleased enough with it. It replaced an ancient PS2 Silicon Graphics keyboard that had markedly better key feel, but no Windows keys, which was driving me nuts even with workaround mappings. (I'm also a Win-key junkie.)
I think the KFL represents not only a great value for the money (at least contextually), it's perhaps the only passable "real keyboard" still in production for the traditional-keyboard enthusiast. In the current market, you would need to spend over $100 at a tiny specialist manufacturer (I'm thinking in particular of another name that begins with "K") to get a better basic board for typing and coding. The feel of the KFL is definitely a little soft and vague for my taste, but its key feel still beats the heck out of other new mainstream keyboards costing 4 or 5 times as much.
Sometime in the near future, I'll be buying about five or six more of these and stashing them away as my backups. Hopefully they will last me until the end of the current desktop paradigm, because there sure ain't any better option out there at the moment.
