Computer Keyboards With Function Keys On The Left

Nice keyboard. It is heavy unlike other plastic keyboards. The keys are very responsive. I like that the shortcut keys on the function keys is active instead of having to do a series of actions to use these functions. I would recommend this to anyone. Nice light functions also.

I received this fine keyboard and mouse and find both superb, especially given the ridiculously great price from B&H. Who ever heard of any good computer product for this price? But the problem for Mac users is that there are no usable function keys for all the special Mac functions: EXPOSE and others. After receiving this two days ago, I began using it heavily in my work as a visual artist. The keyboard performs great and so does the mouse. But when I realized I had no special function keys, I immediately called Kensington to see if there were some work-around ways to get those special Mac features. There are not, and the Kensington rep specifically told me they have no keyboards that will provide such Mac features. Instead of trying to return this to B&H, I decided to keep the set because I need a new wired mouse anyway. And a back-up keyboard is always a good idea if you use your computer for work. By the way, I ought to mention that I wanted wired everything because my beloved wife has electromagnetic hypersensitivity, and all wireless devices producing RF are grim for her. I have a special plastic covering the front of my iMac that reduces RF emissions to an extremely low level. So now the whole set-up is safe for her to be near, even though she cannot USE the computer herself. I have now ordered another keyboard from B&H (MAFK318B) that specifically states it supports all Mac function keys. I gave a five-star rating because of the quality of the set. I don't want its reputation downgraded just because it did not work in every way on my computer.

It is very easy to type on and has function keys.

Lost Keys. I misplace my keys frequently and my phone app quickly eases my mind that they can be found and not left on a park bench or in a pair of pants hung in a closet

We're running control room software from Strasis Systems which directly supports all X-Keys keyboards. This keyboard provides our operators the ability to control what they see which greatly simplifies system interaction. We printed custom overlays for each key making it very simple to find a function quickly... the back lighting works great in low light conditions and is programmable (blue, red, magenta shades only). Overall a industrial grade product... we are very happy and have purchased additional X-Keys keyboards.

Love this silver on silver keyboard. I am sensitive to plastics in keyboards and this one seems to have little or less plastic in the keys

A very good layout with several handy function keys for audio, mail etc.

5 stars! Stable and very easy to adjust level with slider on.

I have only two inputs left on my audio interface for keyboards. I have two keyboards. This little beauty lets me play and record either. The real beauty comes from switching to A for my sweetening keyboard while using keyboard B as the MIDI master. That way I can record the audio from my sweetening keyboard with the Sescom switch set to A at the same time as recording several MIDI sound modules that are outputting the sounds from they synths my B (MIDI master) keyboard is playing through. By recording the MIDI, I can go back and run this MIDI recording into keyboard B to record its sound (that had to be left out due to the switch being in the A position for the initial recording. Simply marvelous! This little switch has made a HUGE difference.

I was looking for a sleek, yet simple illuminated keyboard and this is exactly what I got. Other illuminated keyboards tried too hard to look cool and ended up looking like something out of a B sci-fi movie from the 70s. I didn't install the drivers for it as Logitech is notorious for bloated drivers (the drivers were 85 megs). Instead I installed a free program called AutoHotKey and was able to use that to program the media keys. Even without drivers most of the media keys actually work, but you can't reprogram them. It feels great to type on and looks wonderful on my desk.
