    I was so pissed because I just bought a Microsoft wireless mouse from downtown for 24.99; the following week the same store is now selling the wireless mouse AND keyboard for the same price. Final sale.

    External keyboard is helpful for heavy duty use, it will not be cared to wear out when the users use it for a long time. For indoor use, the users don't need to use the original small size laptop keyboard, it will feel comfortable.
    Cheers

    Oh this one is really not the "standard" desktop keyboard. Think of it as a full size laptop keyboard. I really like its tight feel. I think laptop keyboards should feel this way instead of the feeling of u might knock a key out by accident.

    Hi, shadow85!
    It really looks great!
    Can you wake up computer from stand-by or hibernation using this keyboard or your mouse ?

    I see you've removed the stickers from your laptop. Is it because the writting got rubbed off like mine are doing this very instant?

    the writing has faded on mine as well - i'd much prefer that than removing it and causing the whole panel turn shiny coz of the palm
