I like the layout and size. Very comfortable.
The keyboard it the right size to work with a laptop.
Perfect size to replace old one. Special keys at top work great.
The keyboard is similar in shape/size to my old one, works well and has not slowed me down.
Whilst the shape and size are great, the number pad efficient and really ergonomic.

This keyboard is very wide!! It is almost the size of my iMac desktop.
Very comfortable. Perfect size.
Love this keyboard. Good size and perfect if you have carpal tunnel in your wrists.
The size is a little large, and the keys are full size.
It is good for the wrist. The drawback is its large size.

This Perixx keyboard has a good touch and the sound is quieter.
The keys have a nice clicky sound that I like.
The keys are sturdy and the keyboard has a quality feel and looks great.
Most keys work well when pressed from a variety of angles.
The construction seems solid and the keys feel pretty good.

Microsoft Keyboard 4000 Natural Ergonomic

Key strokes are light and the ergonomic position is perfect.
The tactical touch and feel of the keys is super. Just right.
The feel of the keys is satisfying - albeit on the louder side.
The keys are easy to reach and the angle is just perfect.
Once I got used to the spit keys, it is great. Some of the keys "dead sound" that makes it seem like a cheap keyboard.
