CONCLUSIONS AND AFTERTHOUGHTS

The Soprano is a great keyboard for general internet surfing, email and occasional document preparation. If a larger, classier version of a laptop keyboard sounds appealing to you, then it will be a welcome addition to your home office setup for years to come. The construction is solid and the keys are nice and quiet but are also a bit closer together than what you'd find on a standard keyboard. That is fine for short-term typing, but after extended use I was wishing for my old generic keyboard back.

I was really hoping for this to be an all-in-one solution because I like the look of the Soprano and the aluminum surface provides a comfortable wrist rest area and is effective at preventing hand sweat. Unfortunately though, when it came to gaming I just couldn't stick with it. If it weren't for my hands cramping up after long periods of time this keyboard would be a winner.

Pros:

- Sturdy construction
- Appealing look
- Quiet keys
- Comfortable height and wrist rest

Cons:

- Some keys have been moved around
- Key arrangement is a bit too crowded
