Are there any dots or raised marks on any of the keys, especially the F & J keys, which are on normal keyboards?

No, and I didn't even use mine since I have an iPhone. I thought I would not get used to texting on my screen and I missed my keyboard but I was wrong. It is good if you don't have a touch screen though

The keys on my calculator are raised. There is no cover, but that has not been an issue.

I dont know the answer to that question. I have been using the keyboard for only 1 month. It seems that the letters are printed on the keys in a traditional way, like other keyboards. Just dont know how long they will last yet. Talk to me in a year.

No they are not. They are also not "clicky" they are somewhat "spongey" feeling, I had to return mine as whenever I hit the Space bar it also activated "+" which had bad results when typing ANYTHING!

Hi, Ben. The keys are about 1/8" or 3mm off the keyboard body surface. They are laptop style keys, but are raised about 3mm. Does this make sense?

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.

it does. they are located in the upper left corner above the numeric keys. the only difference between this and a standard keyboard is that the numbers and function sections have been placed on the left. in every other way, it is just like a regular keyboard.

Yeah I get smudge marks from my most used keys. I ended up putting a small price of cloth over the keyboard when I close it to prevent from happening.

Yes it looks exactly like that buddi, the keyboard is great for those late nights on the web. Some keys sometimes get stuck but its not that bad. I wanted to put a pic here but i dont seem to be able to do that. Find me on facebook (ralph Dimas) and i will send u the pic.

Yes, mine keys on the old one did disappear. I have only had this new one for a few months, and it is a huge improvement over the old one in general, but I don't know yet how long the letters will last. I am hopeful!

No, no marks from the keys on the screen. But be careful with the power switch, it trends to get stuck .

They are very large keys, the keyboard is over at my mother's house, so I can't measure them. But, they are too big for someone who types by touch on a normal size keyboard. The problem I have is that to reach ENTER, A & other keys on the ends of the rows from the "home" keys of F & J, I have to take my hands off the keyboard. I end up making a lot of typos when I use her PC. If you had very large hands or were just doing hunt & peck typing, I think the keyboard is great, but it sucks for me. My mom loves it though: she has vision issues so the oversized keys on this keyboard are perfect for her. They are very large keys, the keyboard is over at my mother's house, so I can't measure them.

There are no note markings on any of the keys. I am really rather disappointed in this. As I didn't the receipt before I discovered that the "song book" is really just a sheet of paper that would be pretty difficult for a child to easily use. (I am going to donate it to Toys for Tots @ Christmas.

Like most keyboards, the letters/numbers/symbols are printed directly on the keys. Thank you,

I don't think that it is significantly different from the other keys. I may require slightly more "push" but it is hard to tell. I'm a touch typist and I feels fine to me.

If I understand your question correctly, all the basic keys (i.e., the lettered, numbered and "F" function keys) are trapazoidal. The 6 macro keys on the left and the special function keys at the very top (brightness, mute, volume, etc.) are more of a chicklet or "island" style (with vertical sides to the keys).

Although I can only offer an opinion as I don't know this for a fact but I do not believe these keys are etched. My old standby was etched and just died like 6 months ago. It was still as nice with all the characters crisp and clear as when I plugged it in for the first time. I did not realize how rare this was until I saw other boards much newer than my old one that looked 4 times older with shiny blank or chipped character keys. Sorry I could not be more help with a definitive answer. I can tell you so far, the print is fine but it has only been 7 months max.
