its so nice! i am having a hard time getting used to it but i like it. the buttons seem smaller but maybe its just me being weird.
about a month ago my son knocked my pepsi over right on the keyboard so i had about 10 buttons that would stick and made it a pain to try to use.
this one is nice but hard to use just cause i am not used to it. have you had a new keyboard that you find hard to use? its like the keys are all in different spots.

That's great. I got a new keyboard for christmas and it is wireless and I can sit at my kitchen table and work. The buttons are the same accept for it has some extra ones on the sides for pictures. they get in my way sometimes because I accidently hit them when I am in a hurry typing.

i would love a wireless one. my sister in law bought this one for us. i think the one we had was bugging her.lol she would come over and visit and my oldest always has her looking at something on the computer and she would have a heck of a time with the bottons so we came home the other day to this on our door step.lol this one has a lot of extra button at the top but i am not sure what they are for yet.

That was very nice of your siter-in-law. I'm not sure what all of these buttons are actually for on my keyboard either. They are on the sides sticking out away from the keyboard but I am always bumping them somehow and it will load on my screen and I always have to clear it off of there so I can continue working.

It is the laptop keyboard that I find a little disorientating at present. This is no doubt because it is a fairly new laptop and I have not spent a great deal of time using it.
Laptops always seem to have a slightly varied layout and of course are smaller, so it is exactly the same problem that you are experiencing.

Hi Aretha,
I can understand what you mean. I'm still using my keyboard which was about a year and 3 months old.
In times when I encountered a broadband problem and can't use my computer, I will hop in to an Internet Cafe. The keyboard are smaller and somehow, I find the keys a little hard to press.
I'm sure you'll get used to your keyboard soon. =)

I need a new keyboard too. My keys are all sticking and it makes it so hard to be on sites like this one. I am always having to backsace to fix words when the letters are sticking.
I bet you will be use to it in no time!

You mean to tell us that there isn't a rule in your household that states "no food or drink near the computer(s)"? LOL
What brand and model is your replacement keyboard?

well for the kids we have that rule but not for daddy and mommy.lol maybe we should change it now that we have a new one. right now i am having my coffee and a chocolate cookie. so see if i change the rule then that would mean i either have to go else where to drink my coffee and eat my cookie and won't be here or i could be here but no coffee. what would i do!lol
um i am not sure what it is it looks to be a mi on the bottom right hand side. that is all i know.

yes I have had several keyboards and it does seem that the keys are getting smaller, I clean mine about every two weeks, I make a diagram of it and take it apart and clean everything then sit and put it all back together again. the hardest thing is the buttons because you have to dry them really good and then put them on. and it works like new again.

there is nothing more upsetting than a keyboard that doesn't work, I need a new one myself.

lol.. O yes I have been there.
I have a daughter that has done that to me several
times. Her drank spills, But I have not had to
buy any lately do to the fact that I told her the
next drank she spills on the typeboard she was
buying it out of her allowance money. So she does
not bring dranks in the computer room anymore.
But ya when you get a new ones it seems as if you have to get
used to it all over again.

Yeah!!! i also had a great problem when i did have a cramp keyboard, whose keys are not working properly. But i don't wanted to sell it over, as that keyboard was of TVS company, and the keys are so fine that i love that keyboard. But i need to buy a different keyboard at all, which looks pretty attractive and cool. But its keys are not to soft as compare to my previous TVS keyboard.
