Is this one of those terrible "low profile/slim" keyboards or are the keys thick like the Dell keyboards? Do the keys move significantly when pressed?

No this is not a slim keyboard. It is just like a standard keyboard with no frills, but I had trouble with the computer from the moment I plugged it in. Problems stopped the moment I took it off.

It is not low profile, it's more like a Dell, it has some substance to it. The keys are dine. I do dictation over the Internet and this one is good. I had one of those slim ones and it wore out quickly, so I wanted a sturdy, no frills keyboard.

I don't know what a Dell keyboard is but I can tell you when this new computer arrived with its own keyboard the keys were much closer together and were flat rather than rounded and hard as I tried I could not get used to it so I went to Amazon and bought another one which has the "rounded on top" keys. It works but I have to punch the dickens out of it to produce print. It's less than an imperfect world and you can't have it all.

I consider this an "old fashioned" type keyboard that has real keys and it easy to touch type on. This is a very plain keyboad - but easy to type on. I would purchase another one.

Yes. It's ok for gaming, although the dense layout makes it easy to hit the wrong keys. I usually don't have much trouble though.

Hi Brenda I use this keyboard at work. I tend to type with strong touch, so it's loud but I don't quite concern about it.(I can't type quiet that's more of my problem than keyboard )I think it not so loud if you type as most average users.Nick

The keys are solid and there isno stickiness at all. It very much feels like I am typing on an actual keyboard.

I've used the keyboard only with a Dell PC, so I'm afraid I can't answer your question. The one recurring problem with the keyboard is that the letters eventually rub off. I'm on my third Dell SK-8135 keyboard, and it's happening again. Otherwise, it's the best keyboard I've had.

Its a very quiet keyboard compared to a regular desktop keyboard ( e.g. mid 2000s Dell desktop keyboard)

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.

I've never had any issues with the keyboard, except for fat fingering. I use it at my HOA meetings, church, etc.

They are almost as flat as a laptop keyboard and have a low travel distance when pressed. That's why I bought it along with it being not as wide as standard boards yet has a full size shift and backspace key, and it's held up great.

Sorry, Can't help, I returned my keyboard. The arrangement was too bulky for me. I replaced it with a belkin slim keyboard that was more expensive, but quite a bit higher in quality.

The keys are hard. As for being cramped, yeah ya gotta live with that if you want a piece of hardware for a keyboard on a slim-profile device. Anyway I haven't found it be be a problem, love this keyboard case.

The keys are not hard to press, but they are actual raised keys, so it's not like typing on some of the new key pads that are just flat indentions. I like the keyboard.

It is, for me at least. The keys feel more responsive, more... travel and spring to them (hard to describe). It also seems to have a little more spacing between the keys, or at least it feels like it does. One other detail I like is having the numeric keypad on the side when I need it. All-in-all, absent the solar charging issues, its a very good keyboard (IMHO). I hope this helps.

I love mine. it has the little nubs so I can find the home row. It takes minimal getting used to (pardon my grammar). In the past I worried about the bacteria on my keyboards, spilled coffee on them, and the key markings wore down. i can take this thing to the sink, put some cleaner on it and scrub it; let it dry and put it back on the computer. Sometimes I get a little rise or feel a tiny bump and I think my keystrokes are infinitesimally slower, but I love this thing, and it is worth it.

Well my favorite keyboard is not this one in all honesty but I can say for the price and value of what it is it IS good and a decent buy. I noticed the the clicking notices when gaming aren't loud which really counts in my house because I play hard when I game and get to pounding at my keyboards pretty hard. I think that one is quiet compared to most. Just remember it is not a mechanical keyboard. Its a good value for the money and I considered it quiet. Hope this helps *smile... happy gaming!

The keys are really quiet, it will take time to get used to it though since the layout of the keys are not like any other keyboards. I catch myself hitting the \ key when I want to delete a letter, but all in all I like it and am sure others will as well.

The keys are obviously smaller than a regular keyboard. I have medium sized hands, and they work very well for me. If you have very large hands, the keys might be too small for you. Otherwise, they keys have a nice fill to them. And they're larger and much more substantial than the M-Audio 32 key mini, which I also happen to have. I've been really well pleased with the Korg.
