I would not exactly call the Microsoft fan. One thing you have but keep the guys from Redmond benefit: they can develop peripherals really. Texts is my profession, according intensely I use keyboards and have now even a very ordinary wear. Because I doubt that an expensive keyboard lasts much longer, I'm always stayed in cheaper area. So far, I swore this on the entry level of Cherry - until Microsoft convinced me. The pressure points are very pleasant, the attacks quietly and precisely. The processing can convince. Rather than splurge with tens of useless extra buttons, the 600 model offers only the basic functions for the media player and a quick start button for the computer. More does not need. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable product for a fair price.
