is the 'fence-like' raised frame/high edge around the keyboard not cumbersome to type? and how does it compare to logitech keyboard?

it does a little to me, am not comfortable with it. logitech keyboard is better when it comes to the raised frame.
1580222
No, the raised edge is only present on the left and right edges...the keys have a very nice "feel" and I think overall it's a great functional design. Sorry, don't know how it compares to the Logitech or any other choice.

I have had no problem with the raised edges on the keyboard. I presume it would depend on typing style and size of hands. I tend to keep my wrists straight when typing so I stay within the open area of the keyboard. The keyboard is a little soft on the touch feedback but not a problem. Again, I have no problems with the keyboard and taking notes has been much easier with this product. The backlight feature is pretty good as well, especially in low light situations. Battery life is excellent.

The frame/edges around the keyboard does not obstruct typing on the keyboard. I believe there are several keyboards from Logitech, but none that allows the ipad to be removed quickly. I am happy with this product.

The edge is only on the sides, wrapping very slightly around the corners, so it doesn't interfere with typing at all. I'm not familiar with the logitech keyboard. I'm very pleased with this one. I just wish it came in colors.

It does bother me. I would not buy it again because of the framed keyboard.

it has rubber like pads on top to keep the keyboard from faling off of it. I like itthe only one I can find that would give me leg room, and I have 88 key Keyboardyou can adjust the width to any keyboard and the height. You can slide the keyboardaround, but some resistance, I can't find any other one like this for sale, so I am happy with it.works great

The space bars and all the keys are extremely smooth and easy to press. I'm a writer/editor/grad student so I type hours a day and I also have arthritis in my hands and wrists. This keyboard has been a big help overall. I had a keyboard with a sticky space bar so I know what you mean but you won't have a problem with this one.

It feels like a normal laptop keyboard when you type on it. I think it has a good feel to it, and much better than my last keyboard, the Logitech Slim.

This keyboard is very easy to type on. Huge upgrade if you're used to the keyboards from just a few years ago before they started making them like laptop keyboards. This Logitech is similar to Apple's in the amount of pressure required to make a key stroke. I'd suggest going to a local office supply store as Logitech has several keyboards that use the same feel.

This is one of the more customizablly comfortable keyboards that I've used. There isn't really any noticeable insufficienties with it, but it is a little high for just to play minecraft. I recommend a steelseries Gv mechanical keyboard at the most if you're adamant on a mechanical keyboard.

Yes it is, just be sure to get the correct keyboard lay out; tact is fine and does not get that "oily" feeling.

I haven't found that to be a problem but my desk is pretty wide. Ergonomically I think it's fine. Overall I've been quite pleased with the keyboard.

The keypresses are definitely a little squishy, but there is a lot of travel compared to a slim scissor hinge type keyboard and the keys do bottom out against the frame making them feel fairly solid. I would say somewhere in between a mechanical and a good laptop in terms of "clickiness".

It depends on how loud is loud to you. It doesn't type like a laptop keyboard; it's a slightly more hollow clacking sound than that, but we still find it to be the least annoying of any keyboard we've owned in a long time. It's nothing like the old keyboards that sounded like a muffled gunshot with every stroke. So I'd say it's somewhere in between the two.

No, it isn't. FYI, the feel of typing is similar to a lot of keyboards I've used.

The keys do not feel squishy. They feel exactly like a laptop keyboard. I have no idea what actuation and travel distances are, but I am quite satisfied with the keyboard. I use it all day long and it works exactly as I would hope.

For one thing, the A1048 has its USB ports on the top of the keyboard facing away from you, rather than out to opposing sides. I sort of think the sides are a little less cumbersome.

I agree with the others, if you're walking fairly slowly it's not a problem once you get used to it. If I'm going over 2mph then I'm mostly streaming video, listening to Pandora... things like that which don't require typing. It also helps to get your keyboard at the right height. When it's higher it's easier to type because your hands are stabilized on the keyboard. Mine is set up with the desk itself very low so I can rest my hands in a more comfortable position when not typing, use light hand weights while walking, have easier control over my mouse, etc. My laptop is on a box to raise it up about 12 inches higher -- which works better for typing and also viewing the screen.

I don't think that it is significantly different from the other keys. I may require slightly more "push" but it is hard to tell. I'm a touch typist and I feels fine to me.

I never have a problem with that issue. It isn't an "ergonomic" or padded wrist layout... it's just a keyboard. I wanted it for the illumination aspect and out of those currently on the market- this one came in tops for my needs without being overly pricey or made like a piece of junk that you'd toss after a few months.

No it is actually wonderful to type on! It's very soft and fits perfect over the keys. :) I love mine!! I have it in 5 colors
