The function keys are touch sensitive, and a little weird, because there' s no 'haptic response,' but they work just fine. The keyboard itself feels like a laptop keyboard, but full desktop size, with a little curve to it. We previously had a wireless desktop set that was RF but not Bluetooth, and that did not work well.

I purchased this as a set with a Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 for controlling a basic HTPC which was just running Windows XP, no special media center OS or anything, so I wanted a full keyboard and mouse setup that I (and my wife) could use from the couch for browsing through media and navigating Hulu, streaming Netflix, and YouTube.
