On some laptop keyboards the keys have a little bit of a convex surface on top (instead of being flat it's more like a shallow bowl).Which is this?

These are very flat, rather than concave. Unfortunately, so are most laptops in the last few years. Style over function, no feel for centering on the keys.

99% flat. With the barest curve on the edges of the keys, but I can hardly feel it. It's like a laptop keyboard, more or less, which is why I bought it. Very satisfied with its performance!

Each key has a very slight dip that provides touch comfort and better key targeting with fingertips. Keys like the space bar, alt, ctrl, etc. are raised instead of dip touch though, which again make sense. Overall, I love the keyboard and have 2 of them; one at work and one at home for gaming and general computer use.

No. Not on mine anyway. They might be referring to the little legs that pop out to angle the keyboard for easier typing.

no. the keys are soft and there is a min space between the screen and keys.

it doesn't look like a regular keyboard, the numbers are on the top of the board like all laptops. Hope this helps

The keyboard seems fairly standard size to me. There is some resistance to the keystrokes.

Do you mean the measurement "between" the keys or from the "center" of one key to the "center" of another?Also, do you mean how "high" are the top of the keys from the surface the keyboard is sitting on?If I may just comment, this is one of the best keyboards ever made and is perfect for "real" typists. the next best, I think, are the older Dell keyboards.

It is like a laptop keyboard, not silicone. It doesn't scratch the screen, the border of the case that surrounds the screen makes it so the keys don't rest directly on the screen.

Ufff... kind of a mixture of both. They are trapezoidal shape, but not that big, they are not that high either so some might say that it's chiclet type. Here are two links to close up images on the keys, hope it helps. http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/AP_a_uT6RDY/maxresdefault.jpg http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2010/04/microsoft-sidewinder-x4-keyboard-review/sidewinderx4-5.jpg

it has rubber like pads on top to keep the keyboard from faling off of it. I like it the only one I can find that would give me leg room, and I have 88 key Keyboard you can adjust the width to any keyboard and the height. You can slide the keyboard around, but some resistance, I can't find any other one like this for sale, so I am happy with it. works great

It slightly slopes upward, but it's really just like a normal keyboard shape, but a little bigger. I would believe it is compatible with Windows 8 because it just plugs in like a USB Flash drive. I have Windows 7 though and it works fine.

Normal plastic-like keys. Very good feel and responsiveness. I'm very picky about how my keyboards feel. This has a nice, solid feel

The keys are plastic and flat. They are the size of those on a normal keyboard. The backing is plastic with an aluminum overlay (the face of the keyboard).

The size of the keyboard is smaller than a standard keyboard for a laptop. It is designed to match the profile of the notebook that it is pared with.

If you cannot find a keyboard tray thin enough, try a laptop pillow which has a flat tray on a pillow that would wedge in there on a tilt position. Measure your entry area first - laptop trays are different sizes (width and height) and some have a little tray depth, or a pencil holder that MIGHT grip the keyboard feet (useful for tipping a keyboard). - Old Geek response

It's slightly clicky with undertones of sticky. No detectable mushiness, but there is a bouquet of nutmeg that is usually associated with keyboard sag in non-air conditioned environments. Hope this helps.

There seems to be some interpretation with the answers here -- the keys are chiclet style but not hard plastic -- by chiclet style I mean that they are true "island" keys -- entire key depresses into the keyboard. This is unlike what I think of as a silicone keyboard where the key surface is continuous with the keyboard surface. That said, the keys are made of a moderately soft rubber-like material which feels to me a bit stiffer that the typical silicone keys that you might find on a rollup keyboard; but the keys are not hard plastic as would be typical of a laptop keyboard. If you look very closely at the product images you can see the

The keys are square shaped, whereas the tablet keys are alittle oblong. I dont have a.problem with using mine and like better than typing on the tablet itself.
