Reviews of the chicklet keyboard say that the keys are a little hard. Mine will arrive tomorrow and I will be able to compare it to the very old-school keyboard I'm using now. (Huge, *bouncy* keys.) I'm on the road for a few months, so I'll have both keyboards with me, and we'll see whether I'm tempted to revert back to the huge acer keyboard for comfort. I do like the idea of one small enough to fit inside the case (hard sleeve) with the edge. This keyboard now is really big, so I pack it in checked luggage. The other one I'll put right in the case/laptop section of my carry on bag and be able to use it at the airport during layovers.
