I just purchased the targus this past Sunday, and have found it to work VERY well as far as typing is concerned. I have yet to try to use it with screen rotation software so I can not give an opinion on that.

I am usually very picky about my keyboards, as I type on one all day and most nights, and the only major complaint I have is with the back space key. I would have prefered if Targus had made the back space key a bit larger and shrink some of the less-commonly used keys around it. On the flip side I would have to say this; I have had several IBM Thinkpads, and in my opinion the action on the Targus keyboard is very similar(This is a very good thing ). So if you are a thinkpad fan, as I am, you would enjoy this keyboard.

I am hesitant to rate anything without having used it for a considerable amount of time, but at this point I would say this keyboard is sitting around an 8 out of 10. While this keyboard will never hit a 10 because of that darn back space key(I make many typing mistakes) it could easily hit a 9.5 if it shows to have good battery life, and good compatibility with my applications.

So I guess I am saying, um, Targus is the way to go...
