Fantastic build quality, great keystroke feel, great look, USB 2.0 ports, very small form factor with full-sized keys

Shortened right shift key is too hard to reach, LED lights (to indicate CAPS lock, num lock) are glaringly bright

I'm a connoisseur of keyboards. As a writer, I'm constantly looking for the perfect typing instrument ; There's two qualities I look for these days, and this keyboard meets them both: No numeric keypad (so I can keep it centered under the monitor,...

I do have to dock it 1 star though, for the highly frustrating placement of the backslash key. I am constantly hitting a backslash when I really just want to press shift. I know its only day one, but in general a new keyboard shouldn't need this kind...

Agree with pros from other reviews. For me, compactness and sturdiness are foremost requirements. There are no non-standard key additions - especially a back-slash key to the left of the space bar. The right alt and ctrl keys have not been dropped as...

No dedicated home/end/pgup/pgdn keys. This is probably the only reason I won't be standardizing on this kbd

Compact, sturdy, attractive, good feel

Compact with keys I want to learn to use. Has extra characters readily available but no manual. Sufficient keys for multimedia use. It took a little while to become comfortable with the Crystal and I expect to like this more with time (right shift)

If the backslash key were above a shorter Enter key, and had a normal sized right Shift key it would be ideal. The Crystal is a big relief for typing but lacks a right Ctrl key and has the num keys. That cost $37 (a steal) on sale, which I don't wait for

Rugged construction and good feel to the keys. The USB ports are where they should be and finally got a good keyboard without the useless number keypad. Takes up less space then the old RF wireless keyboard (without number keypad) it replaces

Feels small ... but this is a mini keyboard ... it is supposed to feel small
