We have been fortunate enough lately to
be able to review most of the current keyboard line up for Microsoft and I
would have to say that although this is a good keyboard to use, it is also
the weakest in the current line-up.
Whilst the internet hotkeys are certainly
there, they are not readily accessible and I found that the same amount of
time, in fact less time, was taken lifting my hand from the keyboard and
using the mouse to click on my web browser. This could also have been the
case because I spend an awful lot of time in front of my computer and using
the mouse is second nature to me.
Possibly for the novice, the hot keys
could be of value though I pretty much doubt it. I did find the email, My
Computer and Calculator hot keys to be excellent and a true time saving
device however and that is a credit to the keyboard. Also given the fact
that the Internet Keyboard is only $49.95 (at time of writing), means that
it is true value for money for a quality keyboard.

Installation of the Internet Keyboard was a breeze and worked immediately.
In summary, this product is a good keyboard for people wanting just a little
bit more out of their computer experience and is a good value purchase.
