Summary: Microsoft: "Let's annoy people that buy our keyboard"
Review: The first thing you might notice about this is that the home/end/delete/pageup/page down keys, along with Print Screen and Insert, are stragely located. The larger delete key can be nice, and the other keys are easy to get used to. What you won't realize from the picture:1) the space bar is exceptionally noisy if you hit it with your right thumb (which I almost exclusively do). 2) The dreaded F key. Microsoft decided to add functionality to the f-keys by letting them operate as typical, F1-F12 keys, or as buttons to perform specific tasks (spell check, save, print, etc). You choose which the buttons operate as with the F lock key. F-lock on, they operate as F1-F12 like normal. F-lock off, they don't do anything useful. The f-lock key defaults off and often switches back to off for no reason. Wait -- it's very probable there is a reason for this: Microsoft hates us all.

Summary: Easy to use and incredibly comfortable.
Review: This keyboard takes literally 5 minutes to install. The keys are easy to program, and it has never broken down in the year that I've owned it. The hand rest at the end of the keyboard makes typing much less tiring, and makes the keyboard better looking.

Summary: no problems
Review: this keyboard was a big improvement to my old compaq.
i find the keys are smooth to operate and i play many fps games and chat a lot so this was one of the first things i noticed. the moved insert key might not bother you at all, depending on how you use the keys normally. i dont use the insert key at all, id rather just use the mouse so it didnt fase me in the slightest. i had a problem with the larger delete key, mostly because it moved the HOME and END keys beside eachother instead of ontop of each other which bothered me when i was browsing web pages. but now im used to it, plus now its harder to miss when hitting ctrl + alt + delete (maybe someone had a sense of humour when designing this keyboard) moving on to the extra programable keys and f lock key.
except for the windows media player, media, web/home, messenger and calculator keys the rest i find never get used. i would re-assign the useless keys if they didnt have little pictures on them that refer to their default settings.
the f lock key does cause small problems at first, for instance it has to be on to operate the F1 - F12 keys, but by default it is turned off. this would not be a problem if i didnt use the alt + F4 and F5 short cuts a lot (and perhaps for other people that use the insert key a lot). if you use outlook express a lot and you dont use the F keys, then you might find the new short-cut keys that are now available very usefull; reply, fwd, send etc. i would call this keyboard user-friendly. everything is straight forward if you can adjust. if you cant adjust -> then this isnt the keyboard for you <-
