Sorry about that. The spelling is Matias. The Matias Tactile Pro is a full size keyboard with function keys and numeric keypad. The function keys are in groups of four just like older keyboards. Also, the keys are like stadium seating, each row is slightly higher than the row below it so finding the home row and other rows is a snap.
As I mentioned before, you wouldn't want to use this keyboard in a quiet office or at a meeting since if is quite noisy. You could call this a feature because you get a lot of audible feedback each time you type a key. Also like keyboards of old, it has three USB ports to plug in a mouse or other peripheral. A use a wired mouse, even though I rarely use a mouse, so I don't have to worry about replacing the batteries. If you want something portable, this is not for you although it only ways two pounds.
