First thing is the style, the keyboard is slim and sexy nonetheless.
After utilizing the keyboard in the office, after a few days of use, my hands and wrists are more comfortable, and less soar. I sit at a 90degree desk, so this is especially helpful. The wrist-pad was annoying at first, but you get used to it quickly and learn to love it.
I want to point out that the keys are not in their exact traditional places. The top row is more spread out, as well as the bottom row, and also the Ctrl, WinKey, and Alt keys. This makes doing Ctrl+C, X, Z, etc shortcuts a bit difficult at first, but again, you quickly get used to it and seems to be more comfortable after some use.
If you're hesitant in learning to hold your hands a little differently, and having to change a bit how/where you hit the keys, then you may not want to invest in this keyboard. But in my opinion, it's worth the little bit of change.
The keyboard keys are pretty quiet, and soft and easy to press. They feel a little plastic-ey sometimes, but better than most keyboards I have tried.
I noticed for some reason at first days use on and off, the key input was sometimes delayed, like those old Macintosh computers from the 90s, but maybe it just had to sync or learn somehow, as I haven't seen it happen again since. Or maybe something interfering with the USB RF receiver?
All in all for the $60 msrp it is by far my new favorite keyboard. I just purcahsed another one for home use as well. Ford Cars Chevy Trucks, Microsoft Keyboards Logitech Mice (matter of opinion).
Notice how I didn't mention the extra backspace key? Because I think it's utterly useless. Learn how to type better vs. having an easier way to backspace even more conveniently. I don't and won't use it. Cool idea though Microsoft. Some people might enjoy it I guess.
