Keyboard Reviews

I don't have this precise reference. My keyboard is A4TECH RFKB-23. But that's nearly the same thing. The installation was very easy on my XP. The keyboard has a good feeling, and the mouse is precise enough. The thing works with standard AA batteries and even includes a battery charger. To be freed from the mouse cable is very comfortable. The keyboard comes with a configuration program. I configured the function keys. Now, I can pilot my sound card and WinAmp from those keys. Very useful for mute, volume, next and so on. The RF link works from several meters, so that you can pilot Windows Media Player from your sofa when watching films... Really good and afordable.

First off, I'm a keyboard freak. I have had tons of famous keyboards including the legendary Northgate and IBM M type. I'm a software engineer and typing is part of my life. I have purchased 6 of these MCK-142 pro. (Food dropped into them) They are under different brands but share the same part number.

This keyboard is simply the best investment you can give to yourself, especially for heavy typists. The keys are slightly larger than normal so you need to extend a little. The programmable keys are Godsend. You can program the 24 keys to type long variables, addresses, names, signatures, or even launching applications because these programmable keys can record special key combinations, such as ctrl-Ecs. There's no software, no driver, because all the programming is sone on the keyboard. Many people have gone through pain to get outdated Northgate drivers and the MCK-142 pro is much better, believe me.

The only thing I wish it'd have is a switch like Northgate Omnikey pro where you can change the key layout (qerty/dvorak) and swap control key and caps lock key. otherwise, it's perfect.

Not to mention the mechanical key switches. Yes it's loud but it's much more accurate and you will type faster and faster with it. Once you go mechanical, you will never go membrane again.

If you want mechanical keyboard without paying big bucks, go with Benq or Acer "Accufeel keyboard" or Focus "2001" keyboard. They are real inexpensive. You can also go with old IBM M type which is selling at a website but i find them a little tiring after long use.

Why would you buy a $100+ keyboard when you can buy one for 5 bucks? Your wrists will thank you. You will type faster. You will finally know what a real keyboard feels like.

Granted, the 3 buttons are a bit overkill for my iBook - two would be enough - but it's a very nice mouse, after all. Very basic, though - if you're looking for fancy scroll wheels or 8-button mice (now _that's_ overkill), then look elsewhere.

I received my Casio 76CASE Keyboard Carry Case, the very same day, I received my Casio WK-1630 Electronic Keyboard. And, found that this case was the very best investment in protecting my keyboard. It has more then enough padding to protect the keys, buttons and surface of my keyboard. Strong full zippers to seal out dust and dirt. And, large amounts of pocket space for adapters, control pedals, headphones and can even hold music books with room to spare. A long adjustable shoulder strap makes carrying a bit easier. If you plan to take good care of your keyboard, then this case is a must have.

It's fun , it's versatile, it's very playable and great value for money. Not only that; but AMAZON has it at a knock down price. You can't find a better keyboard value at this price! I'm using it in home recording, for live music applications and for songwriting. Its portability as well as versatility makes it a leader. The sounds are very realistic and the inboard speakers give excellent sound. Don't be put off by the Casio name and think this is just a toy. You can make some serious music with this puppy. I'm really enjoying mine (bought from AMAZON of course!).

This is a great product for anyone who likes keyboards. I like the fact that it has so many songs for you to play along with. Some other facts about this keyboard include, It has 100 different insturments to use when playing, it has an MIDI port so you can connect it to your computer, and simply the fact that it's so easy to learn to play thanks to the key-lighting system. -Thank you Casio for another great product.

THE THE FEAUTRES ON THIS ARE UNBELIVEABLE AND THE LIGHTED KEY SYSTEM IS A GREAT WAY TO LEARN AND SHOW PROPER HAND PLACEMENT. HAS EVERYHING YOU CAN WANT. I DID NOT BUY MINE FROM AMAZON THEIR PRICE IS VERY HIGH (I PAID 178.00 BRAND NEW FROM HSN W/FREE SHIPPING AND INCLUDED THE MIDI CABLES, POWER ADAPTER, AND HEAD SETS WHICH AMAZON DOESNT INCLUDE IN THEIRS). MY ADVISE IS DEFINATELY TRY THIS ITEM BUT LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR A BETTER DEAL..YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS PRICE...

This is a great keyboard. My only complaint (and this goes with most of these split ergo keyboards) is that the 6 and B are on the left side. I've gotten used to using my right hand to go for these keys, so I always get messed up. It's a little on the big side, and needs a little more desk space than other keyboards. The adjustable feet are underneath the front of the keyboard instead of the back, letting you raise it up to a more comfy position. No need to type with your wrists turned up like with the older MS Natural keyboards. And that touch mouse is superb. Takes a bit of getting used to if all you've used is a regular mouse. Arrow keys are normal sized, not the teeny ones with the MS ergo keyboard.

I recently ordered this item because writting with the stylus that comes with my Palm M130 was like writting with a toothpick.I wanted something with a full size feel to it.I decided on the Companio 3-1 combination stylus.I immediately fell in love with it.The size is just right.All three functions work very well,and it is a handsome writting instrument.The ad doesn't mention it,but the ball point is a fine line,which I prefer myself.It is smooth,skip free,and works very well,as does the other functions.Switching between the stylus,pen and pencil is simple and has worked flawlessly.I give it five stars because I can't find anything to complain about.

This keyboard has changed the way I use my iPaq. I've always used it for maintaining my calendar and task lists, but for most other things is was a used mainly for reference/read only. Any data entry intensive tasks were done either on my desktop and synced up, or through Pocket-Controller so I could use my desktop's keyboard.

With the slim keyboard I now use my iPaq for a lot more document creation. More notes. More to-dos. More emails, which can be sent the next time I sync up. Writing presentations with Pocket Slides is actually fun, now, and so is working with Word and Excel. Meetings have never been so productive.

I've tried cheaper keyboards and full-screen touch keyboards but they never worked well for me. In stark contrast this unit feels great, works great and I can even drop it into the cradle and sync up without having to remove the keyboard!
