I bought a shortboard about a month ago, and now that I've used it for a while I'm getting ready to write a review on it. I bought it myself to try out the layout - it is rubber dome and not an exceptional one so there won't be great interest here in buying it, but there is a lack of information about it on the internet so I do want to write something and as this is a keyboard forum it's a better place for the review than most.

My current list of points to cover is:

General:
Key feel
layout
construction

Specific points:
LED brightness/colour
delete/insert position
Fn key behavior.
home/pgup/etc.
numlock functionality.
weight.
matrix (WASD and sdfjkl combinations)
feet and difference in feel with them down.

I have the version without the built in hub so I can't check USB1.1/USB2.0 compatibility or speed.

Does anyone have anything they'd like to know about the keyboard or suggestions of things others may be interested in?

I'm sure you would have mentioned key spacing in your "Key Feel" comments buy you can also measure it.

Most of these mini keyboards either get categorized in a review as "unusable for my fat fingers" or "works for my small hands".  That doesn't help me much.


I hadn't thought to mention it, but that's a good point and I'll include a mention that the keys are normal size.
