A Better Look at Things

Since this is such a tiny keyboard I guess they decided that the standard plastic clamshell packaging would be fine for it, thankfully it is not the sealed type of clamshell, this one just pops open very easily. The keyboard takes up most the packaging on the front, you can see the entire thing through the package.

On the back we find a few specs and features and a misprint apparently, the package mentions that the keyboard is an internet/multimedia keyboard, the one inside the package is not. Guess someone was in a hurry when they were packing these up.

The keyboard itself is your standard keyboard setup, without the separate numeric keypad. There is a numeric keypad though that is accessed by pushing the ‘NumLk’ key on the top row. You can see the numbers and calculating functions in bluish/purple on the keyboard. The ‘Home’, ‘End’, ‘PgUp’ and ‘PgDn’ keys are also only accessible by using the ‘Fn’ or function key, these are found in green with the cursor keys. Other than that it is your basic standard keyboard layout with a few deviations, but I have found that no keyboard is the same as any other. There are also three LEDs to indicate the ‘lock’ status, on the upper right corner of the keyboard.

On the bottom we find some rubber feet to prevent the keyboard from sliding around, and an identifying label. The USB cable is nice and long to reach most anywhere you need the keyboard to be.

The Super Slim Keyboard seems to be very well made and solidly constructed, it will survive many trips in your briefcase or backpack with no problems. I was very surprised by just how small this keyboard really is, in the next section you’ll see it compared to a standard Logitech keyboard where the Super Slim is just dwarfed by the standard sized keyboard.
