PRODUCT COMPOSITION
The thrifty shopper will find that they can pick up this keyboard for around US$55-$60. For that hard earned money you will receive the following,
You will receive a small owner's manual, a pamphlet with technical support numbers and addresses along with a wrist support for the keyboard base.
And other than that you will receive your keyboard complete with an attached six foot long USB cable. This keyboard has to be plugged into a powered USB slot so you can take advantage of its' built in illumination. What illumination you might ask, well, I will show you in the upcoming two pages.
First impressions are very good. This keyboard has a good amount of heft and is built extremely well. This keyboard makes my old Logitech wireless keyboard feel like a soggy noodle. Overall, I am hoping this positive trend continues.
