Enermax Aurora Micro Aluminum Keyboard Review

Since the keyboard frame is aluminum, it feels very cool to the touch, and my wrists never felt sweaty at all.  Key travel is very short, much like a laptop keyboard, so your fingers never have to move very far, except when you’re hunting down those special keys.  The keys feel extremely solid , and the entire keyboard has good weight to it… almost as much as a full-sized keyboard.

I lost much of this article because of this keyboard.  It is very easy to accidentally hit the wrong key, which I did on several occasions, which sent my browser Back, losing my unsaved paragraphs.

Regardless of my layout gripes, the keyboard has a very solid feel, and the keys feel very comfortable.  If you are comfortable typing on a micro keyboard then you may be very satisfied with the Enermax Aurora Micro keyboard, as it’s built like a tank, and feels like one, too.

Quality 5 Extremely solid build and feel
Innovation 2 Suited to Office users, but some of the layout choices made it hard to use.

I love the look, feel and size of this keyboard, but they chose to make the layout of keys nonstandard – they put the key with the | and where the right shift key should be. I touch type, and every time I attempt to type a capital letter on the left side of the keyboard, I hit the key instead of the shift key. It was so frustrating for me, I stopped using the keyboard.
