They're laser etched — burned into the keys with a laser — so they'll never wear off. Sculpted keytops.

The latest trend in keyboards is to have very flat & wide keys, with little or no space between them. You see this a lot on laptops and netbooks. While they look great, they can also be a little tricky to type on. The flatness makes it very easy to slide out of home row and lose your bearings. The Tactile Pro bucks this trend. It has traditional sculpted keytops, curved to fit your fingertips, and keep you from sliding out of home position.

3-port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 hub. For quickly attaching USB peripherals, nothing beats the convenience of an in-keyboard USB hub.

Works great with MP3 players, keyring hard drives, joysticks, and mice too.

It won't charge your iPod/iPhone, but for syncing it's perfect. No ghost in this machine.

Most keyboards allow only a certain number of keys to be pressed at once, and often cannot keep up with very fast typists. The result is called ghosting — letters missing from what you actually typed, or additional letters that you didn't type. The Tactile Pro has special Anti-Ghosting Circuitry (also called n-key rollover) to eliminate these problems. You can type as fast as you're able; the Tactile Pro will keep up.
