I just got this new keyboard to replace my Logitech (no longer sold, couldn't find model on Logitech site)
I would like to say that this keyboard rocks! The keys are nice and "soft" it is much quieter than my old logitech and the keys feel very nice. I am convinced that I am typing better and faster with this keyboard than my previous setup. It also has backlit keys. The light not only goes around the keys but up through the transparent letters on the keys. It has three levels of brightness, high, low, and off. The keys are easy to read when the room is lit and all settings. At low light the high level works great and helps when I'm trying to write some code and do not necessarily know where all the symbol keys are. When the room is pitch black setting the keyboard at low makes keys visible without necessarily hurting your eyes in the dark setting.
Along with standard QWERTY keyboard esc, F1 F2..., and number pad it has volume settings w/ mute and light mode. The keys are "scooped" and the keys and surrounding structure have a nice finish. It also comes with "risers build into the back of the board to provide a slight slope, and a wrist rest with adjustable length.
I would rate this keyboard 8/10, if only for the lack of more function buttons.
