Are all of the keys "sticky" meaning I have to press and release with another stroke rather than hold down?

No they are not sticky, they are like any other keyboard keys.. But this one has two-side programble meaning.. In 1 key you can program two particular function.. Holding down the shift key will perform the other function.. Hope this helps

The keys are spring loaded just like any other numeric pad. They are not sticky.

Hi Timothy,No only a small set of keys are "sticky". As far as I remember, they appear in a different color on the visual interface.I am sorry but I'm not at home and don't have the application here, so I can't provide accurate details.In general, the "modifier" keys are sticky : Shift, Ctrl, Alt, etc. whether left or right keys.All the best,Pierre

Not much. I think there might be a slight difference with how easily the keys are depressed and the surface texture of the keys. The other junky keyboard I have has keys that can stick and this has never happened to me with this keyboard

Yes! It's a difficult keyboard. I feel like I have to really bang away at times!

I noticed that the key must be in the right positon for that to be possible. I had a problem at first then realized the key was not properly positioned. Hope that helps.

Key stroke sound is there. Unfortunately your keystrokes are not always as intended however..touch fidelity not 100% . Missed strokes and unwante multiple strokes

Yes, there is a set of dip switches on the back that modify the action of specific keys. Del/backspace is one of them

Definitely clicks "well", at least to me, neither too spongy nor too stiff. You definitely know you're pressing the keys, and they're just stiff enough that if you pause to think, you can rest your fingers on the keys without kicking off the "sticky keys" dialogue box.

I didn't have mine but a few hours before I returned it. If I remember correctly it is hard keys. Mine was broken so my memory is vague.

This answer is from a previous review which they initially gave 1 star... The following is a fix for the sticky keys..In a last-ditch effort, I pulled all the primary keys off and used a Q-tip and petroleum jelly to lubricate the slots where all the keys are installed. Once I snapped all the keys back in place....WOW....THIS WAS THE PERFECT KEYBOARD. It now works very smoothly and I still enjoy the benefit of the back-lighting and easy read letters. I wish I had done this easy fix when I first received it.

Not sure but I went back to my old case. I use it when I type a lot. Keys stick

arrow keys will work when your doing text, not web pages. Lock button works, if you hit "function" button first.

Haven't used it in awhile, but yes, that was one way. I believe you could also reverse the mapping and have the function keys be the default. The NICE thing about the odd position of the CTRL key is that it brings your hand into a better position to strike more keys.

I also have the 5-color keyboard and had only one key (the del key) that had the sticking problem. I was able to fix it simply. I think the 3-color keyboards are a bit more prone to the problem but only based on the other reviewers. I think (just an option) the 5-color keyboards, costing more are an upgrade to the 3-color and so receive a little more care during prep and assembly.

Look at the keyboard very closely. If all the keys are in the right place you should be ok. They only have a couple of options.

Nope, just press harder than what you are doing now and leave the switch. You dont have to keep it holding

I can press 10 keys simultaneously and get them all down, so practically it should be as much as you need.
