Rackmount Touchpad Keyboard

This is sold as a rackmount keyboard but it works great for home or office. The width is about an inch more than a "tenkeyless" keyboard, this one has the numpad and arrow keys. I don't use the touchpad so I can't say much about it except it does work. The typing feel is firm, with not much tactile feedback, but a solid soft thunk at the bottom of travel. It's a classic rubber dome keyboard like we all used in the 90s Edit: I'm not sure why I said in my original review that it doesn't have much tactile feedback. Maybe it needed to break in. I've since gone through several mechanical and rubber dome keyboards, and this is my favorite so I've gone back to it. It's not too firm, not too clacky, but with a nice positive feedback, and the keys don't wobble. Great for gaming and typing. I don't use the touchpad at all

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this totally exceeded my expectations. Works great, looks great, and made my day just a little bit better. Highly recommend—five stars all the way!

This just arrived today, so I cannot give any opinions about longevity. However, I am already in love with my new keyboard. I wanted a keyboard for my PC that felt similar to my laptop. This is exactly that! The mechanical keys type easier than my Razor gaming keyboard that I was using before this. I am not suffering any noticeable lag in typing so far. The touchpad mouse is working with my edition of Windows 10! (Even the side scroll works!) It does take getting used to due to the awkward position of the right-click and left-click, which is why I gave the keyboard four-stars instead of five. This is not a light keyboard. It is solidly built, like most mechanical keyboards I've encountered. All in all, I am super happy with this keyboard.

week 2, pointer arrow shot opposite where I kept putting it. unplugging, replugging temporary fixed. Dont know if it was just that one keyboard. May try same but another one. Gun shy but maybe. I really wanted it to work; fit what I needed perfectly (sad face)

Update after using for 2 days: I s-o-o-o-o-o wanted this to be a good keyboard. But the touchpad is really goosy. And the keys are a bit too stiff; my wrist is starting to ache (although, admittedly, part of that may be having to handle the touchpad with kid gloves, which adds tension to the hand/arm column). The touchpad is both overly sensitive and not sensitive enough -- at random times, each. It sometimes will not respond at all to a click until I move the cursor a bit. It sometimes clicks itself when all I'm doing is moving it. It skates around and puts itself where I don't want it just as I'm about to click. Or it refuses to move at all. So, alas, it's going back and my search for a functional wired keyboard with a built-in touchpad continues. Sigh! I have been looking for a wired keyboard with a built-in touchpad to let me (a) use my laptop as a desktop and (b) lose the external mouse. This mostly fills the need, as far as I can tell after one day of use. Let me start by saying that I have never found a computer keyboard as good as the analog one on which I learned to type -- the IBM Selectric. (Yes, I'm that old.) Keys are always a bit stiffer; noise is always a bit worse (but maybe the Selectric was just as noisy, masked by the sound of the little ball with the letters hitting the paper). This keyboard does NOT meet that standard. As a laptop owner who actually does use the laptop on my lap at times, I also prefer a built-in touchpad on which one can make gestures to, e.g., grow or shrink the content, as well as for basic navigation; having to reach over for an external mouse is very inefficient. Inexplicably, just as Windows gestures made a touchpad a particularly useful feature, the external keyboard makers eliminated touchpads completely. This keyboard meets half of my needs -- I can now stop reaching for an external mouse. It does not, however, allow the gestures; it just lets you move the cursor and click (or right click using the button on the side, a slightly less handy way to do it compared to the one on my laptop). I took off a star because of the limited utility of the touchpad and because, after a couple of clicks, you have to move the cursor a bit to get the click to work again. I took off a second star because the keys are a bit stiff and noisy. Time will tell whether the stiffness makes me take off another star from ergonomics; one should not have to be Godzilla to press the keys. My hands will tell me in a few days whether they are having to work too hard at typing at my usual blazing speed. It does fit the basic requirements for a functional keyboard, which include having the keys in the right places and right sizes. I have been frustrated trying several wireless keyboards that made the right-hand Shift key small and put it somewhere odd, meanwhile putting the Page Up or some other key where the Shift key OUGHT to be. As a fast touch typist, it's frustrating to have to look down and be sure I'm hitting Shift rather than whatever misplaced key was in the place where my pinkie expected to find Shift. Number keys are also in the right places, not split up in some weird way. The Fn keys are a bit far from the other keys, which is going to take some getting used to; not enough to deduct another star. This is not going to end my search for the right keyboard, but it will let me be somewhat more productive.

Keyboard is working great, but it's just a smidge too long to fit in an 8" keyboard rack tray if there's a back lip on it. Not a big deal, I had another flat sliding tray I used instead.

This is a great, simple, functional keyboard with a touchpad. Nothing fancy, but exactly what I need. I am about to order my second so I don’t have to take this one back and forth from my home office to cubicle. If you’re used to your touchpad on your laptop keyboard and are looking for a good option to bring that to the desktop, this is great.

Perfect for a rack, but a bit overpriced

Es justo lo que necesitaba, me es imprescindible, muy buen producto

Em teclado es resistente, útil en las líneas de producción, es duradero y de muy buena calidad.

Well made positive keys I hate the modern touch keys on laptops etc that are like they are because of cheap manufacturing and weight saving also this is the only keyboard I have found with trackpad in the bottom centre of the board build quality is excellent

Great KB, works as advertised. Best to use with a rack system. I also have one at home, where it does have some odd behaviour on occasion - do not get the touchpad moist(like handling a glass with condensation moist in my case) as it will malfunction and require you clean it and plug it back in. The touchpad also appears to time out and needs to be awakened whilst you type or idle, so if you go between it and the kb often, maybe not the best device for you.
