Am I supposed to put the keyboard keys facing the front side or back side? The front side is the one with the adjustable spring knob right?

I don't think that it really matters. However, I prefer the side that you are calling the front, just because it makes it easier to adjust and support the keyboard at the same time if needed (Although it is recommended that you do not adjust the stand with the keyboard on the stand).

It really does not matter. It would look cleaner to the audience if the knob was toward you

the adjustable spring knob is the front so that you can adjust the height at any time. thanks

No, the back side is where the adjustable spring knob is. It should always face you. The keyboards face you as well. Hope this answer helps.

Totally normal, but both keys are smaller than the ones on the right. I say normal because I don't notice it at all. Both appear to be about 2/3 the size of their opposite keys.

I can't really answer your question. I don't have knowledge of how the keyboard was designed. I only purchased one like the one you got, but mine arrived broken with the metal cover on top of the keys loose and unattached. Therefore all of the workings of the keyboard was visible. I returned it the very next day. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Yep, typing on it right now in the dark. It is back lit to the color of your choosing, it can even cycle through colors... but that is distracting. And, yes it looks just like that photo. The only keys that are not back lit are the thumb mod keys below the spacebar.

It's slightly tilted. Maybe less than 5 degrees. However, the hinge is then pressing into the keys of the keyboard. I don't think this is one of the intended postures.

Unfortunately, no, not really. The bars that are supposed to support the underside of the keyboard are too long to fit in the grooves, so that you either have the keyboard wanting to flip over away from you, or flip over towards you. I am likely exaggerating how unbalanced it is, but nevertheless, with its tendency to slide on the stand, it can become a real issue.

Simply put, I believe so. However, I think this is a design flaw. From what I have determined without opening up the unit the keys are on one board and that board moves within the case. I had the opposite problem. Some of my keys were resting on the case. I pressed my fingers and nudged the "fn" and "down arrow" keys so that the keys lined up properly in the case.

One more issue. I touch type, which means you don't look at your keyboard at all when you type. So feeling the keyboard is important. The extra column of keys on the left M1 to M5 confuses my brain. Because my fingers feel the keys starting more to the left, I am constantly typing towards the left. Pushing S for D, A for S, and CAPS for A. I will try to get used to this.anyone else getting tricked up by the extra row?

Maybe the one I got was a newer design, but there were pre-drilled holes for the keyboard tray on both sides. I put mine on the longer side, so that I could put my dual monitor setup on the it.

The front is raised by 1/4" and the back is raised by 1 5/8". The front 1/4" raise is when you place the keyboard down into the stand so that the keyboard does not slip off of the stand. If if keyboard is placed on top of the front of the stand, then the keyboard would be raised 5/8" at the front.

I just hold the keyboard side still and pull the right side out a little until the silver metal shoes, then you are good to go to flip it. It took a bit getting used to at first.

As I covered in my write up, I found the slide-out shelf to be a bit uncomfortable. I use a swivel shelf that attaches to the keyboard to be the answer. I go into more detail in my write up. Best of luck.

Yes, keyboard tray does turn from side to side. You can search online for full instructions in PDF which wasn't included in mine maybe because I bought it used here.

I don't have any way to secure mine but your keyboard might be different. Mine just sits on top of the stand. It feels really solid to me and has holes in the top where you could bolt it down (if your keyboard has that capability).

The right Windows key is there per normal. In place of the left Windows key is an FN button. Responsive: The keyboard is kind of stiff.

Helen, As far as I recall the only instructions were something (I forget what) that said the switch to the right of the function keys (blue or white) is to switch in and out of Windows 8 functionality. Otherwise, there was a blue sticker on the keyboard to tell you how to change the left half of the space bar to backspace. That's all there was and all I needed. The tiny print at the bottom of several keys are keyboard shortcuts, i.e. alternatives to mousing around, which have been common to windows software for many years. Otherwise it is the same as any other keyboard as far as I know. There is a compartment on the bottom for the battery also, but that should be no problem.

I was surprised to see that. I thought it was standard on all keyboards but I guess not. I got used to the one on the left.
