What's great about it: It works like it is supposed to
What's not so great: None yet
Worked just like it should
No wires, no fuss
Plugged it in and I was in business.
I like the feel of the keys and the low profile
When I added a Wireless Mouse syncing/pairing was
very easy (easier than a wired mouse)

What's great about it: Small, sleek, very smooth to type on.
What's not so great: As someone said there aren't any special keys on it, but I'm ok with that.
Love this keyboard. I've been using a Logitech K350 for years and been pretty happy with it. I bought the HP Elite for my wife for a keyboard that she needed to get when she needed one quick. She didn't like it and gave it to me so I could use it for work. I fell in love with it immediately. It's much sleeker, and much smoother to type on than my Logitech K350. The Logitech is a CLUNKER compared to the HP Elite. Everyone at work who has seen it wants one too.

What's great about it: Easy to set up. Responsive w/no lag. Good value
What's not so great: No LED on Caps Lock Key
The Good: The product worked right out of the box. The keyboard is responsive with minimum lag. Surprisingly good reception, given how small the receiver is.
The bad: No LED on NumLock or Caps Lock buttons. No multi-media keys

What's great about it: Slick, sexy and solid.
What's not so great: Not much.
Purchased on-sale for $29.99, this keyboard did not disappoint. It is slim, light (yet weighty enough to feel substantial and not slip), and there is no issue with the connection. Perhaps I'm biased after having utilized a much older USB keyboard, but this is far superior. I type A LOT, as many do these days, and between my work computer, which is a brand new Dell with new wired keyboard and this, this is just as solid.
I highly recommend, especially at the sale price of $29.99.

What's great about it: Ease of Installation; Layout of Keys; Feel of keys; Stays in play when typing; Physical size;
What's not so great: No indicators for Caps On, Number Lock, Low Battery, Insert
This review is being written by a person born before the first computer was built. Therefore, I appreciate something that installs quickly and easily. I unpacked the keyboard, placed the receiver into an open USB port, pulled out the battery contact separator on the bottom of the keyboard, booted up the computer and began typing. Can't get any easier than that! The keys have a great feel when typing. Just enough tension to avoid double keying yet without missing a stroke. I appreciate being able to control from the keyboard the sound volume, sleep mode, and opening Internet Explorer and the Windows Help screen.
It would be nice having indicators for Caps Lock On, Numbers Lock, etc. But as a friend said, "You'll know when the batteries need changed when you can't type anymore!"
This Scot is pleased with the quality and features for the price paid.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This keyboard is smooth. It is a pleasure to type on, quite, and perfect for use on a desktop. I wish I would have gotten the combo pack with the mouse, but I'll probably pick up a x400 soon anyway. I can not say enough good things about the keyboard. Best Buy is another story, but this review is for the product itself. HP did a great job on this one. I can't remember a time I've used such a quite and smooth keyboard. Setup was pretty much nonexistent on my little Win 7 running notebook. Plug in the adapter wait a few seconds and your good to go.

I have been looking all over for a wirelss keyboard that mirrors some of the feel of the best laptop keyboards - smooth, low travel distance for ekys, tactile feedback, amd smooth design. This has it all in a sleek and space conscious design. Many thanks to HP and Best Buy btu why wasn't this more prominently featured? I sort of found it by accident on a lower shelf. Did Logitech and Microsoft buy all the shelf space?

What's great about it: Great price.
What's not so great: Keys don't respond much of the time.
I took advantage of the $19.99 price on this wireless keyboard as I wanted to update my prior HP keyboard (with which I have had no problems). This was easy to set up and I had hoped I would love it. I do a significant amount of writing and type very fast. But this keyboard was terrible. It slowed me down significantly because the keys were often not responsive - I've used many keyboards over the years and I've never had this problem before. I tried lighter touch, heavier touch, etc - and could touch a key a dozen times and get nothing. When I needed to delete something, the delete key was extremely unresponsive. So, I will keep on using my older keyboard for now and return this one. Very disappointed - I was excited to get it. Btw - I have an HP computer, which I love, so disappointed and suprised that this keyboard just would not work well at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Design, size, layout, compatability, price.
I was looking for a wireless keyboard to use with a 23" monitor (also happens to be HP - love it). I originally bought an Apple wireless keyboard because I like the feel of the in individual keys and the small footprint. It lacked the functionality that I wanted in a full keyboard so I bought a Logitech K800 (wireless/backlit). I used it for about a week and struggled with it because the keys felt too spongy and I couldn't type as fast and easy as I wanted. The logitech k 800 was also a bit bigger than I wanted on my desktop.
I went back to best buy and randomly saw this HP keyboard on their all in one computers and it's exactly what I wanted and works perfectly - 15 seconds after it's out of the box (literally).
I also bought a HP wireless mouse because they all connect through the same USB adaptor and LOVE the set up. HP may be one of the best hardware mfgs (next to Apple and Samsung).
Pros:
Thin- small footprint
Sturdy
Sleek black design
Individual keys - like apple's keyboard
Instant set up - literally plug and play (PC and MAC)
Small SB Link-5 adaptor (works with HP mouse & other Link-5 devices)
Great Price - I pd $49.99 but it's on sale regularly for $35 and sometimes less. To me, it's worth $50 because that still HALF of what I paid for the logitech K800 and $20 less than the apple wireless...
In the last three months, I've purchased:
HP Elite v2 Wireless Keyboard
HP x2301 LED Monitor
HP wireless mouse (literally got it on sale for $10 and its one of my favorite mouses to date).
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Looks nice, thinness, 10 digit pad, keys are great, butten for entering the web.
What's not so great: Have not used it long enough. Sorry
This was a bang for your buck keyboard when it was on sale for $19.99. This keyboard works good for my homemade docking station. When you plug this in you can not even see the USB port. For Mac users, I do not know if it works with that OS. Out of all the keyboards to get, this is, to me, a 5 out of 5.

What's not so great: Doesn't come with a grilled cheese sandwich.
Paid $19.99 for this on sale. My only concern was wether or not the bluetooth would be recognized on startup so I could get into the BIOS with the keyboard. On an AMI BIOS from 2007 it recognized the keyboard and worked instantly without a single problem. I would give it a 5 on compatibility, but I haven't tried it with my macbook and have no reason to.

What's great about it: Great feel, sturdy build, and works with a Mac with minimal setup
What's not so great: Wish I could get the num lock to work on the Mac
I need an extended keyboard (for the number pad) but have a hard time swallowing the $50+ for the Apple branded wired one. So I bought the HP Elite v2 to see how well it would work with my iMac.
I was able to remap the alt and Windows keys with no problem using the built-in Keyboard System Preferences. And the media and sleep keys all work, with the exception of the WWW key and the num lock, neither of which I need. Even the function keys work with iTunes in the background (you just hold down the Fn key and press the appropriate function key for music controls.
The keyboard feels very sturdy, and like the Apple keyboards, has scissor keys. I actually like the feel better than the Apple one.
And with it on sale at Best Buy for $34.95, I could get two of these for the cost of one of Apple'w wireless keyboards.
I would recommend this to a friend!
