Reader Reviews I ordered this because I wanted a full media keyboard with the short key travel time of a laptop. The Kensington slim type certainly has that. No clunky keys, great action and sensitivity for fast easy typing. It's shorter than the average keyboard, keys a little more congested than Apple's extended keyboard, but has all of the functions and works well... except for the following: The down sides: 1. It has no USB port for a mouse!!!!! I had to waste one of my computer ports and the mouse cord isn't quite long enough to reach comfortably. Will now have to invest in a wireless mouse. Can't believe that I made fun of Kensington's Pocket Mouse for laptops with its 6' long cord. Now I know that its real use should be for desktops using the Slim Type keyboard... 2. Requires CD or online software installation to operate. Had my keyboard been dead, I wouldn't have been able to use it at all. I couldn't decide whether or not to give this 3 or 4 stars, but opted for 4 because of the great key action and smooth typing. UPDATE: 6 months later the occasional key began sticking. A year later it happens much more frequently. Simply typing the last sentence I had to backspace to pound on the "c" and "e." However, when all of the keys are working properly, the action is still excellent. Comments (2) | Permalink | (Report this)
