Strengths: Many function buttons for surfing and playing back music, etc. Very low cost for USB. Very stylish.
Weaknesses: Drivers aren't as good as they could be. Not as sturdy as Microsoft.
Summary: This is a good internet/music keyboard for the money. Viewsonic is a name I trust and so the decision to buy this wasn't very difficult. The keys are quiet, but the design overall seems flimsy. I think that if you need a second/notebook keyboard and you don't need to have anything fancy, then I would get this.

Strengths: NA
Weaknesses: - Initially had problems with USB driver for HotKeys - On an ongoing basis the USB keyboard drops out if not in use for extended periods. Must unplug and replug USB connector to resume working.
Summary: 2004-11-20 18:39:33 In general, the ViewSonic customer service was very poor. I called several times and was on hold for a very long time. ViewSonic repeatedly told me that a representative would call me right back, but they never did. Never have gotten an answer to the keyboard drop-out problem.

Weaknesses: Very poor response. Keys do not register half of the time.
Summary: This keyboard is terrible. If keys are not hit in the direct center a full depression doesn't register. I bought this keyboard new and returned it the next day.

Strengths: 1. Cheap, Simple and perfect for normal/game use.
Weaknesses: 1. Would prefer to have Hibernate/Sleep option in keyboard
Summary: This keyboard is good for the following reasons:

1. Sleak and does what it should

2. No tricky (extra fancy) keys obstructing normal key strokes

3. Cheap (one of the cheapest) around.

Extremely useful. Best addon for a laptop while playing games. Highly recommend.

Strengths: USB connection, nice design, reasonable price
Weaknesses: none that I see
Summary: Great Keyboard for the price. Sure nothing extravagant, or wonderful, but for be such a good cost, it sure does a good job! I would recommend this keyboard for anyone crossing over from a PC to a Mac Mini, that needs a keyboard with USB connections. Sure beats a 35 dollar apple keyboard.

Strengths: Very good responsiveness.
Weaknesses: Stopped working after a week.
Summary: Stopped working after about 7 days. I tried it out on my laptop, and it worked fine until I unplugged it. The keyboard on my laptop was then corrupted. The function key would constantly be depressed. Had to fix it by doing a Windows Restore from an earlier point.
