Are the keys on this keyboard smaller than those on a standard laptop?

they are slightly smaller and packed a bit closer together. Also, the version I received has a very annoying feature that it does not have a right side shift key. OFten find myself touching the down arrow thinking it is a shift and goofing up my docs :-/ but overall it works pretty well for what it is.

Yes but they work well and are easy to get used to except for the right shift key. Definitely much faster typing than the touch screen keyboard.

yes, the keyboard is a bit longer than the width of a horizaontal ipad -- but much better than the touch screen keyboard.

No, I think the keys are bigger than standard. But notice that there are many missing keys, like all the F- keys.

It has the standard number of keys like a keyboard, minus the extract number pad keys. It's pretty comfortable to use after a few usages to get used to it. The keys are a little small if you're used to a laptop keyboard but apparently this keyboard is one of the full sizes.

I have smaller man hands and it doesn't bother me, for a comparison my mother (who is about 5'9) has the same size hands as I do. The keyboard is about 4 inches longer than a "typical" non-gaming keyboard, and the keys are big enough to find in the dark but not too big as to obstruct typing or finger movement.

I feel the keys are slightly smaller than normal. Or, maybe my fingers have gotten a little fatter over the years. I wouldn't recommend it for any amount of office work.

I don't know that they keys are closer together nor that they are smaller. The keyboard is missing the numbers which usually reside on the far left side. That is what makes it smaller. I think it is designed for small spaces, not smaller hands.

They keyboard is very light...but I'm not sure if that's what you're asking. The computer itself is actually quite heavy by today's standards, but I have an toshiba portege, so I'm spoiled.

Yes the keys are standard size. What i believe is standard size is any letter or number key being 1cm long. I actally just recently measured them. They came out to be slightly larger than 1cm.

The shift & ctrl keys appear to be the same size as on my prior Microsoft keyboard

It's definitely a bit larger than a laptop has. The feel of the keys is really good and the letters nice and large. I am very happy with it, as are some other friends that got one.

The key are completely flat, with very little space between keys. When I tried it out at the store, my finger tips kept getting pinched between the keys. My AS1810 is coming next week. Being a former ThinkPad user, I think it's going to take some time for me to adjust to the Acer keyboard.

This is the smallest full size keyboard I could find. It's for a desktop or laptop computer.

It's got the slash key above the enter key, and the enter key is the smaller type, not the oversized enter key...

The keyboard is full size if that's what you mean, just slim profile and no extra border keeping it small. The keys are "island" type like a laptop and seem pretty sturdy. Only time will tell if they hold up but seem promising.

Hi, the keys are close together, definitely closer to a laptop keyboard and just as smooth to type.

Standard keys and size of keyboard is size of my "normal" size keyboards. It has the look of "Mac" keyboard" therefore the Fn function keys are different then PC. If you type real fast I have read that this is a disadvantage with this keyboard. I use it with both my iPhone and an older Dell laptop. Comfort is in the eye of beholder but it feels good to me. Keep in mind the inexpensive cost and you could try it and then return if not what you want. Check return policy.

The keys are solid. It is smaller than a standard keyboard. However you would not want it any bigger. Just a reminder, mine does not work as a case. It is to loose of a fit.
