Overall Summary

Overall, provided you fit into one of the target categories, and can handle having to use a tightly bunched keyboard, this particular item should do exactly what you want, exactly how you want to do it. It's also worth remembering that it's available also as a PS/2 model, the cable is colored the same as the keyboard, and the keyboard is also available in Black or Beige (See below)

Personally, I purchased this keyboard for temporary use with a few projects I've got in progress - my new testbed, CarPC, and HTPC are all at various stages of completeness. As such, because of the pain experienced through extended use I won't be considering using one of these keyboards as my primary keyboard, instead I think I'll stick with my current IBM RAK-III (even if there isn't any software for it's multimedia buttons).

The size of the MCK90 allows it to be sat on top of even the most humble monitor, I used it here today sitting on top of one of my old 14" monitors after installing a CPU for an aquaintance.

I'm going to give it a rating of 93% since it fits what I see as it's target audience, but isn't 100% free of problems.

I'm also going to award it the OCmelbourne.com Editor's Choice award.
