Thanks to the omission of a numeric keypad and other media keys, the keyboard takes up very little desk space. While the first-mentioned has been deleted without replacement, to volume and co leave. thanks Fn key just rules about shortcuts. For Zahlenjonglierer_innen this may be a disadvantage by the savings on space are now but mouse and keyboard clearly centered, which is a boon for so many stressed shoulder.
Speaking Mouse: The keyboard has a TrackPoint. This small red Gnubbel is controlled with the index finger, while the three buttons below it are operated with your thumb. That's a bit strange at first, working for a small acclimatization but significantly better than any touchpad. A proper mouse is likely to use more comfortable in the long run, but in particular people who write a lot will appreciate it, now no longer need to encompass small corrections.
The writing experience I find excellent. The pressure point drops slightly less crisp as though in most classical models, but is also not as soggy as the old one SL510. To my mind that's perfect. The surrounding plastic are at pressure slightly, but only as far as the still seems fine in the thin and light design. When typing this is not noticeable.
A caveat is in fact the layout for me. The Fn key is located in the lower left corner, so that the Ctrl and Shift can not be operated with a finger. This is only a problem in the QWERTY models, because they have a shorter shift. But that is only half as bad and more a matter of habit. But when I feel extremely strange the decision to place the print button between Alt Gr and the right control key. If this so often used? Is there actually still abound, this Internetausdrucker_innen that must have everything on paper? I think that's questionable and have set up the button on my Linux box as a Compose key. Unfortunately had to suffer from the redesign, the classically arranged in blocks of four F-keys. These are now arranged in a row, which can easily lead to a Verdrücker. However, the positioning of the PageUp and decrease buttons next to the arrow keys and the positioning of the Delete key on the far right above I consider a very good decision.
Besides the overall excellent processing falls here on positive that the keyboard cable is detachable. It is a micro-USB connector, in writing breaks can also quickly once the phone battery must be charged. In addition, this makes the keyboard up a notch transportable. Only a backlight would be whether the high price yet been desirable. Overall, this is probably not the perfect keyboard, but I want to exchange them for any other model.
