- Keys for opening your media player, e-mail account, instant messenger, calculator
- Keys to control your web browser (search, back, forward, favourites, homepage)
- Keys to control your media player (play/pause, stop, next track, previous track)
- Keys to control your computer's sound output (master volume up, master volume down, master mute)
- Enhanced F keys, including four programable keys, which you can set to do whatever you like (also help, open Word, open Excel, open Powerpoint, undo, redo, print, save)
- Sleep button

Any of the extra keys can be programmed to perform any task, so for instance you could set the key designed for opening your media player to open your internet browser instead, etc. Most of the extra keys work fine, but I find that the internet browser control keys only seem to work with Internet Explorer, and since I use Firefox this isn't much use. It may just be a configuration problem, but I haven't been able to find any way of getting them to work with anything other than IE. However, as I said, they can be set to different functions, so they don't go to waste. All the other keys seem to work perfectly, and I especially like the media player controls. You just select the player you want (I use Winamp) and you're ready to go. It's much easier to simply press the mute, or pause buttons when I want to stop my music in order to talk to someone, etc.

Overall, this is an excellent keyboard, and I would be willing to pay more than the Amazon price to have one. I originally bought this to replace an old sticking keyboard, but now I want one for my other computer as well.

great keyboard the palm wrest is great and it is removable if you don't like it or don't have the space for it. this keyboard is easy to use plug it in put in the installation cd and follow the on screen instructions. the port is ps2 so it should work on most modern computers. the f keys are very classical and the keyboard itself is stylish. it looks expensive but it isn,t it makes your pc look great and it feels great tp type with. what do you have to lose bye it now. if you need a new keyboar or fancy a change just buy this keyboard you won't regret it.

i got this keyboard and it worked without software but you need software to make some multi-media keys work. the f keys are classical and it has f lock. it feels great to type with and it is quiet when you type. when i type it stops me form bashing the keys and i can still type quick. i love this keyboard it is great and very stylish. it looks expensive but at a good price. i am glad i ordered this keyboard and it is the firs thing i ever ordered from amazon and i am happy with the way it went. the keyboard has a thing to support your wrists which you can remove if you dont have the space for it. i bought this keyboard because my keyboard had a few loose keys and i wanted a replacement and im glad i replaced it to this 1 since its better and it has no power button on hey board which i like since i knock it all the time so i am pleased with this keyboard and i recomend it to any 1 who needs a new keyboard or is looking for a change.
