Is the grey one different? I bought it and it's smooth and very difficult to type on. Is the black different, with raised and separated keys?

I don t like the touch cover. If you buy a key cover can see a big diferense. A bought a key cover and is soo Great to work with

I bought the 3 color and have had no problem with keys sticking as yet. I'm still very pleased with this keyboard. But as I mentioned, I'm no speed typist either so that may be a reason I've had no problem with sticking keys since I demand less of them.

Thanks for the info. I deducted that from the many sources posting, but wanted to make sure. Ordered mine 2 days ago. I really like the ergonomics of the keyboard with the 'soft' keys.

Each key has a very slight dip that provides touch comfort and better key targeting with fingertips. Keys like the space bar, alt, ctrl, etc. are raised instead of dip touch though, which again make sense. Overall, I love the keyboard and have 2 of them; one at work and one at home for gaming and general computer use.

Theres really no change in how its used. Its still a fully functional keyboard however each stroke lacks the haptic feedback of a 'Klunk'. It essentially turns an entertainment device into a fully functional computer. So, minuscule trade off. I love mine.

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.

I have no idea. I don't recall there being two different styles when I bought it. I know that I got it with Prime shipping though. And, it's still working great! It's right next to my keyboard.

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.

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.

The keys are hard keys. It's a very nice cover and I love how the keyboard can come out when you want it to be slimmer/lighter. I would recommend it.

the letters are in standard qwerty but the numbers are not standard if i recall...(i returned the keyboard as some of the keys stopped working)..some of the numbers use the same key as letters to compensate for its small size. Even though its qwerty its almost impossible to type in a traditional way...i had to type one finger at a time because its so small.

Lt gray aluminum for the back. Not an exact match for the space gray but very close. The keyboard side/keys are black and has a slick magnetic hinge. I just place my keyboard on the iPad and flick the hinge to magnetically connect them. Very easy.

I bought this a few days ago with the same doub in mind!, the black part is only the screen, but the keyboard body is grey( as seen in the picture)

The touch cover that I recently purchased is not lighted and is very thin so you need to know how to type to use it effectively. The type cover is more like a regular keyboard but it is much more money and is thicker. I have never seen a lighted version of either keyboard.

I can't really answer your question. I don't have knowledge of how the keyboard was designed. I only purchased one like the one you got, but mine arrived broken with the metal cover on top of the keys loose and unattached. Therefore all of the workings of the keyboard was visible. I returned it the very next day. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

They feel like regular keyboard keys. They are just situated differently. Hope this helps.

Not a problem. It's pretty well centered vs. the "letters (QWERTY)" keyboard, once you account for the numbers-only keyboard on the right. I got used to it right away and had forgotten about it til you asked this question.
