Summary: Had mine for over a year now
Comment: I've had these keyboards for over a year now and have not had the problems the other reviewers had.
Maybe I'm just not that hard on my keyboards but I'm on these things almost everyday.
I like the design and though the keys need a little getting used to, I think this keyboard is a great buy at ~18.
I ordered 2 of these and they have worked with no problem even since they were installed back in April '07.

Summary: pure junk
Comment: I bought these keyboards as I like the quiet and low profile. Now I have 3 defective keyboards because some keys do not register (M, N, Caps are common). Microsoft has replaced these for free but I expressed concern that future keyboards will fail. On a Microsoft initiated customer satisfaction followup call, I told the rep that the hardware revision 1.0 is the same so the root cause for these failures have not been fixed. Their only response is to replace in the future and try to keep the customer happy, but I'm out a usable keyboard for 2 weeks. One of my 3 replacements (D, M now don't work) has failed after only 2 months. Used a keycap puller to yank defective ones off and a blower to clean off. Put a 1/4" peg in and these keys still do not trigger. Save your money. I will go back to Logitech and get something that will last its intended "lifetime".
After just sitting there for an hour, both the D and M keys started working. A while later they again just stopped working. This is with the computer on - nothing touched. Now it's looking like an intermittent problem that does not look to be hardware related. Keyboard controller problem is more like what's happening to some of these, so I will definitely not recommend anyone buy this keyboard as it will fail in the long term.

Summary: Carpal Tunnel Relief
Comment: This keyboard is a blessing after the wireless keyboard that had originally come with my HD set up quit working. I have carpal tunnel syndrome and a recent surgery. With the inexpensive price of this 'natural' wave keyboard, it has performed incredibly well for the value.
Finger reach is easy, even though some of the keys are larger then the others. It actually makes it easier to hit the keys without stressing my hands.
The keyboard has a lot features, some of which I do not use yet (being such a dyed in the wool 'straight' keyboarder). However, I love the 'start' button being close to the spacebar, along with 'control' and 'alt'.
The 'back' and 'forward' buttons are very handy and save a mouse movement to move through the windows. I use the number pad very often, and this one is inwardly curved ever so slightly, just enough to offer less stressful movements.
I love this keyboard ! And the price was outstanding. This keyboard, along with the "Trackman" mouse has definitely helped waylay the numbness that I was having from CTS; of course, the surgery helped, as well ... BUT ... I feel that the design of this keyboard will make it so I will not have to face any more surgeries on my hand. Thank you !!!

Summary: z "?" c v
Comment: I purchased two of these faulty keyboards. I liked the keyboard until the "c" button stopped working. The second keyboard developed a broken "x". Both keyboards were used regularly for about three months before they malfunctioned... Definitiely not worth $15.

Summary: Great keyboard.
Comment: After reading all the reviews, yesterday I bought this keyboard and I have to AGREE with all the positive reviews. The typing feeling is similar to a fine notebook keyboard and the shorcut buttons worked right away without any kind of installation of drivers or programs. This is the closest typing feeling to the great Logitech S530 I use on my MAC. I love it.
