Pros: This is a great budget keyboard. It has a good, crisp feel.The LEDs are bright and I had no compatibility issues in either Linux or Windows. As a bonus, it even works nicely on my iPad using the camera adapter's USB plug. (The iPad complains that it's not compatible, but it works fine.)

Cons: The placement of the three rows of keys above the arrow keys between the main keyboard and the numeric pad is non-standard. This takes some getting used to and has caused some typos due to my muscle memory wanting these keys to be one row higher.

Other Thoughts: This would be a 5-star keyboard if all of the keys were in the right place.

Pros: Incredibly fast. Great bang for the buck. Huge capacity. If you know how to set it up, you'll be thrilled.

Cons: Can be difficult to set up. Mine require a BIOS upgrade on a fairly recent Gigabyte motherboard before it would get recognized as a boot device.

Other Thoughts: This product had a single 1-star rating when I bought it, so I was a little worried. I shouldn't have been. This isn't for beginners, though. It takes some effort and experimentation to get set up. B ut once it is set up, it's rock solid.
