Summary: Made my already fast typing speed even faster!
Review: I cannot even begin to describe for you how much of a difference this keyboard makes for me. I am a medical transcriptionist and type approximately 12 to 16 hours a day during the week and at least 10 hours over the weekends. I have a typing speed of approximately 120WPM and I can feel that it has improved even more since starting to use this keyboard only recently. The "touch" and "feel" of this keyboard is truly a pleasure. I was using an IBM keyboard (inexpensive from a discount store) and I had no idea how much difference a keyboard could make! I highly recommend this keyboard to anyone, particularly to "real" typists with speed. I don't think I'll ever go back to any other keyboard.

Summary: Not as good tactile response as I had hoped
Review: I have carpal tunnel and need a keyboard that is very sensitive to touch, i.e., will not require a hard "punch" of the keys. By reading the reviews here and elsewhere I thought this would be a great keyboard for me, but I find that repeatedly the letter "t" does not respond to my finger and I keep having to backspace to put it in. I did not have this problem with other keyboards and can only surmise that when they set up variable touch on this keyboard they assumed that everyone has a really strong index finger. (I already dropped a "t" in this review!) Otherwise it seems to be a cool keyboard, and I am hoping I can retrain my left (dropped that t again!!!) index finger can re-learn to hit harder on the t. A disappointment, so that's why I give it (another dropped t!) only 3 stars.

Summary: A keyboard that would make the Energizer Bunny proud
Review: I have owned two of these keyboards for several years, use one at work, and have installed close to fifty of them in my work as a systems integrator. Every one of them is still in service and no problems have occurred to date, while cheapie keyboards need replacing every couple of years when installed in a 24/7/365 environment. With its lifetime warranty, if one ever does fail, it will be easy to have repaired or replaced.

I whole-heartedly recommend the LT Designer keyboard.

Summary: Best Keyboard On The Market!
Review: I have two of these keyboards. One for home and one for work. I bought the first one about 5 years ago and it still functions as perfect as the day I bought it. I would not buy another keyboard for any reason. If you want a keyboard that will last forever, looks great, and feels great on your hands, then this keyboard is for you.

Summary: This Keyboard Flies
Review: This is so cool. It's perfect. Even for a clutz like me who can't type. If I spill my coffee in it, I'll buy another. No reason to look any further. MH

Review: This keyboard is awesome. I am a programmer and computer enthusiast with typing rated at 111 words-per-minute by BrainBench.com certfication, which I achieved while using this keyboard. The tactile response feels great and provides the response I want to feel under my fingers, while also being very quiet.

The special Ergo features that provide 5 levels of "strength" required to press different keys based on which fingers usually press them isn't noticable to me except that it helps my typing speed and along with the tactile response mentioned above keep my fingers from hitting keys that I shouldn't, even if I happen to touch them while typing. Overall typing with this keyboard is a very comfortable experience (especially if you type "correctly"; hunt-and-peckists or non-standard typists may not notice as much of an improvement) and I often find myself severerly limited when I have to switch to another keyboard while using another computer (so much so that I may have to get at least one more of these things!).

After several years of use, this 'board is still running great technologically, and the only issue I've had is that on several keys the lettering is wearing off. The keys so far are: V, N, M, and L (letters nearly gone), and S, D, "," (comma), and "." (period) (partially worn). This is after quite a lot of use, however, and as a touch-typist doesn't pose a problem for me...the benefits far outweigh any detriment, and to top everything off, the black looks great!

I'm getting fed up with my laptop's keyboard (it's a good keyboard but on the thin side as with most laptops), and based on my experience with this KeyTronic LT Designer, I'm seriously considering getting a KeyTonic Tag-A-Long (black, of course) keyboard to stick on my laptop, which I am using more often and getting fed up with keyboard-wise.

As should be obvious by now, I can't more highly recommend this keyboard!

Summary: Not as good tactile response as I had hoped
Review: What a great keyboard! A Very light touch is all you need to have this keyboard humming along. The feel is very good and I like the slant of this one. Keytronic even offers a skin to keep cat hairs and the like out of the keys. I would recommend this to anyone. There is no need to buy a more expensive keyboard - THIS IS THE ONE!
