Adesso AKB-425UB - Easytouch Rackmount USB Touchpad Keyboard, Black

This is sold as a rackmount keyboard but it works great for home or office. The width is about an inch more than a "tenkeyless" keyboard, this one has the numpad and arrow keys. I don't use the touchpad so I can't say much about it except it does work. The typing feel is firm, with not much tactile feedback, but a solid soft thunk at the bottom of travel. It's a classic rubber dome keyboard like we all used in the 90sEdit: I'm not sure why I said in my original review that it doesn't have much tactile feedback. Maybe it needed to break in. I've since gone through several mechanical and rubber dome keyboards, and this is my favorite so I've gone back to it. It's not too firm, not too clacky, but with a nice positive feedback, and the keys don't wobble. Great for gaming and typing. I don't use the touchpad at all

The media could not be loaded. This is a great, simple, functional keyboard with a touchpad. Nothing fancy, but exactly what I need. I am about to order my second so I don’t have to take this one back and forth from my home office to cubicle. If you’re used to your touchpad on your laptop keyboard and are looking for a good option to bring that to the desktop, this is great.

I love the keyboard; the keys are quiet and smooth. However, the reason I gave it four stars is that the buttons to the left and right of the touchpad are very noisy. I think this might be bothering my coworkers. I have a bad shoulder, so I need to return to using a centralized mouse pad, but those two keys are extremely distracting.

This keyboard is just ok. The keys are loud and clunky. The touch pad works well but the left and right click buttons being to the side is annoying. Location of the delete, pg up and of down buttons - eh. All things I’ll get used to but if the keyboard was a little less clunky it would make up for a lot.

Long story short, I needed a keyboard that would fit inside a rack mount tray. It does fit inside a typical 16-inch tray. However, the USB chipset is not compatible with DIN adapters. The KVM I needed it for is an old Belkin SMB IP KVM that only supports PS/2. When plugging it into another station with USBA support, it works well. No complaints.The only thing I would suggest for people in my situation is to look further into their product line, they do have a PS/2 version of this which I'm going to try. If it works as well as this one, I will be very satisfied although buying two was not exactly my idea at the start.

I have been searching for a USB keyboard with a touchpad in the bottom center (not off to the side) that works the same way my laptop keyboard works. For some unknown reason, no one seems to make one that's any good.The keyboard on this one is fine-- it's a little stiff and noisy like the clackety keyboards of old, which I can deal with, but the touchpad is incredibly annoying. It has the buttons on the side, instead of underneath, which makes no damn sense and requires learning a whole new finger maneuver unlike what any other touchpad on the planet requires.That said, it's still the best I've found, but I am continuing to hope some designer with basic common sense will market a USB keyboard that actually works like my 17" Dell laptop keyboard, with a normal touchpad that works like every other one, a numeric keypad on the side, has quiet keys, and doesn't require me to unlearn and re-learn all my muscle memories in order to actually use it and whenever I switch back and forth between it and any other keyboard/touchpad on the planet.Also, backlighting would really be appreciated.Why yes, I do want the moon. I use my keyboard a lot. Why not make one that really caters to the user?Again, though, despite my complaints, it's still the best one I've found and I'm using it, while I continue to hope and dream.

I have been using this in my home lab and it is really convenient compared to the old keyboard and mouse I would keep in the rack. It only needs one USB port and so far everything I've plugged it into works. One use case I'll test next time I need to log onto something on my TV is if Android TVs can use it.
