Long live the Internet Keyboard Pro.......2005-02-07
Great Keyboard... a little too large.......2003-11-02
I'm a touch typist, so the position of keys is important and this uses the standard size and spacing which I like. Also, I use this keyboard with both Mac and PC, and the software provided allows me to set the keyboard up perfectly for each platform.
One problem is that it occasionally stops responding and I have to unplug it and plug it back in again, but this doesn't happen that often and is only a minor complaint really. Not as bad as the IntelliMouse Explorer which stops working for days on end.
After getting a thorough soaking with tea, the keyboard obviously stopped working, but after half an hour of cleaning it out and ensuring there was no tea left on the internal contacts, it worked fine, and was much easier to clean out than some keyboards I've tried to repair. So really, it's been pretty damn reliable, even after the tea.
Overall I like this keyboard, but in future, I wouldn't bother with all the additional buttons which never get used to be honest. Without then, I could save an additional inch or two on my desk and have a nice gel wrist rest. However if desk space is not a problem and you get use from them, I can see that they would be useful for some users.
Best ever for power keyboarders.......2003-08-06
The two USB ports are conveniently located to quickly attach or remove a digital camera or other equipment and when I tried another replacement board I really missed having the ports "right there".
Bottom line is that once I located this keyboard and learned it is no longer manufactured (shame on you MS) I bought two just to make sure I didn't have to buy a keyboard that would slow me down, because this one certainly doesn't.
Just like MS to make a great prod. and then yank it ..........2003-03-25

A lot of keyboard for a little money.......2005-02-07

Pretty Good, for a keyboard.......2004-06-10
One of the reasons is that it has good keys. They aren't real stiff and give a good feel then pressed, giving good "tactile feedback" that a key has definetly been pressed. Not like an old mechanical keyboard or anything, but better than most. One thing I hate about quiet or soft-key keyboards is that sometimes you aren't sure if your key press registered corretly. With this board, it feels much more positive, which allows me to type faster.
The extra key issue, which at first was annoying and seemed to just take up space, has proved to be actually useful. I still never use the browsing keys, which is where I assume the "Internet" in "Internet Keyboard" came from, but the calculator and My Computer buttons have become second nature to me already. I always find myself slapping at the space where there calculator button should be when I am at a different computer and just expect it to be there, I use it so much. And you don't even need any extra software to get it to work, WinXP automatically recognizes it and all the buttons work right out of the box.
Lastly, the wrist rest, something I never thought would make a difference, does force you to keep your wrists in proper position at least. While it doesn't eliminate fatigue, it does help. Another feature I never would have chosen to look for in a keyboard, but it's nice to have it there now that I do have it.
I'm not usually a Microsoft kind of guy, but even I have to admit, they do make good hardware. This keyboard is a safe, above average buy.

Product Description
Microsoft presents it's Internet keyboard PS-2 style. The new blue hot keys give users easy one-touch access to their Internet browser e-mail or favorite application. The Internet keyboard is Microsoft's best value in a high-quality keyboard incorporating one-touch Internet browser navigation easy e-mail access and a sleep hot key into a traditional straight keyboard design. The keyboard also features custom hot keys that can be programmed to link to a favorite document application or web site.Amazon.com Review
With one-touch access for many common functions, Microsoft's Internet Keyboard Pro will improve your efficiency level. The keyboard itself installs simply and quickly and sports an extra USB port in back--more digging around behind your PC.To use the hot keys, just install the IntelliType Pro software that comes with the keyboard. It only takes a few minutes and will ultimately make your time in front of the computer better spent. There are seven different Internet keys that highlight common icons such as Back or Search, plus an e-mail hot key that accesses your mailbox with just one button. The multimedia hot keys are a bit more recreational--they control CD, audio, and video functions such as volume, play, and pause. You can customize the two functions keys to highlight frequently used programs or sites; without customization, these keys lead you to the calculator and My Computer features of Windows.
This keyboard is basically a gussied-up standard keyboard, with the only added comfort feature being the detachable wrist pad. This is great if you prefer the straight-key layout over those ergonomic twists and turns, but it won't be very comfortable for those with repetitive-stress disorder. The one-touch buttons will save on mouse use (good for carpal-tunnel issues), and the control-key shortcut labels provide other quick ways to reduce typing. The keyboard is larger than other compact keyboards, and the keys require a firm touch.
If you spend a significant amount of time on the Internet or regularly use e-mail or audio-video features, this is an excellent keyboard for you. The construction is sturdy, and the extra USB port can be convenient when you've got a new peripheral to play with. --Jill Lightner

Absolutely Outstanding Service!!!!.......2004-05-12
Very good........2002-11-22
It might not be as quite as other keyboards, but the keys feel fine to push, and after years they have not broke or got stikky, and i have used it alot Daily.
The arm rest is the best feature, along with the Huge spacebar. The keys feel very natural, and i like how they slope up. Well worth the money.
~hope this helps

Keys Wear Out Quickly.......2002-09-30
This $20 keyboard cost me $2000 NO STAR.......2002-09-18
After $300 worth of diagnoisis a technician informed me that the Mircosoft keyboard fried the mother board and that I may as well purchase a new computor, another $1500. There will be another $200-300 worth of incedental expense, needless to say I am not happy.
About 10 days ago I sent an email to Micrsoft merely asking for an explanation not restitution and I have not heard back.

Get the latest peripheral technology in one bundle. The Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro gives you one-touch access to the Internet, your e-mail, and your favorite multimedia controls, while the Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical, with IntelliEye optical sensor, provides smooth and precise motion and a scroll wheel.With two built-in USB ports and powerful IntelliType Pro software, the Internet Keyboard Pro provides the tools you need to work efficiently. Internet hot keys allow users with Internet access to launch a browser and surf the Web directly from the keyboard. Internet hot keys include Back, Forward, Stop, Refresh, Search, Favorites, and Web/Home.
Multimedia hot keys let users control music CDs and PC audio and video directly from the keyboard with Mute, Volume Down, Volume Up, Play/Pause, Stop, Previous Track, Next Track, and Media.

My Computer and Calculator hot keys give you quick access to these popular Windows features. Or, IntelliType Pro software enables you to customize these hot keys to launch your favorite programs, documents, or Web site.
Microsoft's Wheel Mouse Optical contains no mouse ball, so there are no moving parts to clean or wear down. The IntelliEye optical sensor is sealed in to keep out the dirt and lint that can cause a traditional mouse to skip or jam.
The Wheel Mouse Optical comes with a scroll wheel for scrolling and zooming. Move through documents by simply rolling the wheel forward or backward, instead of clicking on a scroll bar. Use the wheel to see either close-up or big-picture views without having to use menus or toolbars (in compatible applications). The mouse also has an ambidextrous design, so whether you are left-handed or right-handed, whether you have a large or small hand, the design of Wheel Mouse Optical feels comfortable.
The Wheel Mouse Optical's IntelliEye optical sensor scans the desktop 1,500 times per second, delivering smooth, precise motion on virtually any surface, even through dirt, dust, and fingerprints. The IntelliEye sensor performs best on surfaces with detail to track. It will not function on surfaces without visible detail, such as glass, or surfaces where it will see its reflection, such as mirrors and glossy surfaces. The sensor may also have trouble tracking on highly repetitive patterns like printed photographs from magazines or newspapers.
Microsoft offers a three-year warranty on the Wheel Mouse Optical and Internet Keyboard Pro.

I Love My KeyBoard & Mouse!.......2002-10-25
Microsoft's customer support has been incredibly well. I called regarding the mouse breaking and in a week, I had a brand new mouse.
I would recommend this package to anyone who's looking for a mouse/keyboard. If you have a big hand, look into their Microsoft Optical Explorer Mouse.
Solid package.......2002-07-11
If you can afford to put down a little more cash, I would recommend the same keyboard with a Wireless Explorer mouse or even better the Logitech Freedom Pro Optical keyboard/mouse combo.
Ideal Combo!.......2001-10-30
Works great w/ Mac.......2001-09-24
I have used both the keyboard and the mouse in OS 9 and OS X, both without problems. You have to install the drivers for the keyboard, though, as it has Windows keys (which don't have Mac counterparts). Other than that, great package. Another solid Microsoft product for the Mac.
Love the keyboard!!!.......2001-09-15
As a user, I don't like switching back b/w my mouse and my keyboard. Once i use my keyboard, I like to stay on the keyboard. I'll use the windows button, tab, alt-tab, shift-arrow up, and so forth. This keyboard is perfect for me. I can start Internet Explorer, My MP3 Player, Open My Documents, Open my e-mail, change my volume, fast forward to next/prior track, and mute. All the hot-keys are very functional. I had a prior keyboard from my Computer Manufaturer that also had hotkeys, but they were mostly buttons i never used. They were more a means by which the Computer manufacturer could send me to the website of a corporate partner. Additionally, the wrist pad is removable. I don't know what the prior reviewers were talking about. The Gray part in the image above does come off. Although, I can't see why you'd want to. It elevates my wrist perfectly. Sure it's hard plastic, but for some reason, that's more comfortable than a gel pad for me--better support.
The installation was butter. Won't expound upon that.
If you have a USB port, this keyboard works also as a USB Hub. It'll use one to connect your keyboard to your computer, but it will give you two new USB slots right off the keyboard. This actually is a great function. I have a portable MP3 player and Digital Camera that both transfer data to my computer via a USB port. If you've ever had to bend down to get to the back of your computer to connect the USB cord, you know the hassle I mean. I can just hot-swap(while the computer is still on) the cable right through the keyboard. This will alleviate some of the frustration of changing the songs on your mp3 player and/or downloading images from your digital camera. I use the 2nd slot to connect my mouse, so I don't have a cable running acroos my desk.
I really do recommend this keyboard in every way. And hey, if you don't have a mouse that's optical, you get a bonus. I don't love MS optical mice, but it's a freebie at this price. Enjoy.
