Good touch to the keys, nice compact size ... In a perfect world I would have placed the Delete elsewhere and made the enter key larger but overall a Very Good compact board.

Comments about Adesso EasyTouch Mini Keyboard (Black):
For the most part this keyboard is pretty good. I was really looking for a compact keyboard without a 10-key. I really like having my mouse that much closer to the keyboard and have learned to use the numbers on the top of the keyboard by touch, so a 10-key doesn't add that much value.
This keyboard is OK, not great though. The two biggest flaws are the undersized backspace key and right shift keys. I found myself not being able to backspace reliably. When using the right shift I often hit the up arrow as well as the shift key causing me to select and entire row of text and replace it with my next keystroke. Very frustrating. I overcame the issue by remapping the offending keys.
Ideally this keyboard would not have a home, page up, page down, end key where they are. You never see a laptop keyboard sacrifice common keys like the backspace and shift to make room for those keys.
Another pet peeve is it force an function (fn) key into the lower right hand corner of the keyboard yet provides no use for it. Ideally the fun key could be used in combination with the arrows to provide page up, page down, home and end. Another great use for a function key is to turn F1-12 keys into media keys which this keyboard does not do out of the box.

Comments about Adesso EasyTouch Mini Keyboard (Black):
I wanted a keyboard without the number pad so that the mouse could be closer to the QWERTY typing keyboard. It accomplishes that goal very well. The only thing I would change would be to have a CTRL key on both sides, rather than just on the left. I have an ALT key on both sides, but rarely use ALT. Since some keys like backspace, and shift are smaller, it takes some getting used to, but it is worth it.

The keys aren't laid out too well, but it is small, so if your traveling, it fits great in to laptop bags.

Comments about Adesso EasyTouch Mini Keyboard (Black):
I wanted a smaller keyboard for everyday use so that my mouse could be closer to the regularly used keys. This keyboard is working quite well.
The keyboard has a good feel, and the keys are responsive. They are a little too close together. Also, some of the keyboard layout is a little bit nonstandard, and this was more bothersome than I expected -- the backspace key is quite small, and the right shift key is also small. I found initially I would fat finger these keys frequently. The arrow keys are also right next to the other keys -- I would prefer a small amount of space.
Still, the small footprint of the keyboard is great, and I am enjoying using it.
