Summary: Great keyboard for surfing the web.
Review: I really enjoy using this keyboard when I'm on the Internet. I can launch my browser, check my email, and move back and forth between web pages without ever having to pick up a mouse. The freedom to use a PS/2 connection or USB is nice. I can also launch the Windows calculator at the touch of a button. This keyboard is also quite comfortable and the keys aren't too loud when typing. My favorite feature of it however has to be the two additional USB ports built in, they definitely come in handy.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is the price....it's a little on the expensive side for a keyboard.

Summary: Long live the Internet Keyboard Pro
Review: It's a pity and a shame that Microsoft discontinued this keyboard. Their newer keyboards look nice, but they're a little too flashy for me, and I'm not a big fan of the new keyboard layout. If you're looking for the functionality of these newer MS keyboards but with less of the nonsense, this is definitely the way to go. It sports a not-likely-to-offend beige finish and the old-school 104 key layout. Even has a built-in two-port USB hub, the perfect place to plug your USB mouse and game pad. (It's not a powered hub, so don't try plugging in things like printers and hard drives.)

The lower-end Internet Keyboard has 10 additional keys; this thing sports 19. Use them as marked for one-touch access to web browser and media player functionality, or reprogram them to your heart's content. The pain-free driver install and configuration makes this a cinch. And key response is just about perfect; if you don't already know how to touch-type, learn it, and you'll appreciate this even more.

If you can find it, get it. It's more than worth the time and effort.

Summary: Great keyboard
Review: The Internet Keyboard Pro is very well designed. The keys are easy to press and quiet. The shortcut keys at the top work well and the built-in USB ports are a nice feature.
Just so you know, this may not work as a USB keyboard in some computers. It may still have to use the PS2 port. That means it will give you easier access to your USB ports and will provide you with one extra one.
It takes a little time and effort to get used to the shortcut keys, but once you do, they are nice to have. All in all, this is a nice product, but if I could do it over again, I would get the non-Pro version and buy a separate USB hub. I really don't think this was worth the extra cost.

Summary: Very Good Keyboard
Review: This is a fine, sturdy keyboard that works with ME (despite the previous review). I'm using it on ME right now. You need to download the ME driver from MS though.

The key pressure is just right, the size is fine (not too small, not too big). The extra buttons are helpful. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I'd like the wrist rest a little bigger.

Summary: Great product...but
Review: This keyboard is superb for typing with. The wrist support does what it is supposed to and keeps your wrists very comfortable. The keys are solid and do not get jammed easily like my former eMachines keyboard. It is also not excessively loud like my Dell Quietkey Keyboard. It is superfluous because it goes beyond being a great keyboard by offering some great nifty button things. Although some of the buttons are very useless for me, like the back, forward, stop, refresh, search, and web/home because I use keyboard hotkeys, but the others like the mute, volume, calculator and my compputer (which I programmed for my own things) are extremely helpful. Even though some are useless, they are just extras that don't hinder anything.

Summary: Best keyboard i know of
Review: Well i was searching for a keyboard online for a [less expensive] used price. And i found one. I was not specifically looking for a microsoft one, but i was hoping on getting it, and well i got it. When i was looking for more info on the keyboard i noticed that i couldnt get much info, especially what are the buttons functions, so I am going to tell you it. There are 19 buttons which do activity's. The activity's are or as microsoft calls it the Hot Keys are Back, Forward, Stop, Refresh, Search, Favorites, Web/Home, Mail, Mute, Decrease Volume, Increase Volume, Play/Pause, Stop, Prev Track, Next Track, and Media(lists all entertainment type programs such as real player, winamp, cd player etc.), My computer, Calculator, and Sleep. I found that the only buttons you can change the activity with is the mail button, calculator button, my computer button, and search so far. The detachable palm rest is not comfortable as my other palm rest so i dont use it. The keyboard lists keyboard shortcuts on the side of the corresponding keys such as if you were trying to copy a word you would press cntrl+ c, and on the side view of c you could see it says copy. The keyboard comes with PS/2 and USB cable joint together. The keyboard has a built in 2 usb ports. The keyboard allows you to disable some keys, if you wish to. Well I liked the keyboard, and i bought a used one, and found a great price for it too...
