Summary

Editor's Choice

The keyboard is an absolute joy to use and look at.  It is extremely comfortable to use even for hours at a time.  The keyboard lays so flat on the top of a desk or in a tray that if you are use to the awkward bump and wrist position of older keyboards, the Viewmate could require some time to get used to.  The key travel on the Viewmate is very minimal.  For someone who is used to having to bang away at a keyboard to type, this keyboard requires very little effort. If you are prone to wrist strain and carpal tunnel syndrome, this keyboard dramatically improves the overall typing position.  All the Hot Keys are easy to access and activate their respective functions instantly.  The USB ports are very convenient and provide an easy location for hooking up your digital camera or MP3 player for a quick upload or download.  Aesthetically pleasing to the eyes and the hands, this keyboard is also pleasing to value-conscious shoppers; available at several E-tailers for $35 or less.
