The first thing that struck me about this keyboard was the sheer size of it, although what can you expect when you have so many customizable buttons.
Once I connected it to my PC, i was up and running without having to install any software or drivers, although a CD is included that allows you to customise the keyboard.
This keyboard connects to your PC using either a USB connection or a P/S2 connection, whichever suits, and is both PC and Mac compatible.
Complete with the usual Web Navigation and Audio Control buttons, you also get shortcuts for My Documents, My Pictures, My Music, Mail, Browser and MSN Messenger buttons, and even a Calculator, Log Off and Sleep buttons.
Another neat function is the slider on the left hand side that allows the user to zoom in and out of graphics on the screen.
All of these keys are fully customizable using the software that comes included, allowing you to change around buttons to suit your needs. This is especially handy as the keyboard has 5 'Favourite Keys' that you can setup yourself.
The keyboard uses a UK English 105-key layout.
Overall a very good keyboard, especially for those who take a regular interest in graphical manipulation. Unfortunately, it is quite bulky, especially when using the wrist wrest, so not really suitable for anyone with little deskspace.
