3.5 Good

The Bottom Line

The sturdy Enermax Aurora Micro keyboard is for users who have limited space and don?t do a lot of number entry. It has great tactile feedback, but the price gives us pause.

Pros & Cons

    • Attractive design.
    • Good tactile, aural feedback.
    • Two USB 2.0 ports.
    • A bit pricey.
    • No standalone number pad.
    • No multimedia keys.

Rip the keyboard out of a laptop, put it in a sturdy case, add twelve small special-purpose keys across the top (six for Microsoft Office and six for the Internet), and you've got the Enermax Aurora Micro keyboard. The 11-inch-wide typing area means your fingers won't feel cramped, and—as with the company's Caesar KB005 and Aurora Premium keyboards—although key travel is short, tactile and aural feedback are good. On the other hand, a section of the keyboard does double duty as the numeric keypad, so you don't want to be doing heavy number-crunching with this input device. The $59 price seems a bit harsh on the wallet, too, but the keyboard is made of high-quality materials and can serve users who have space constraints well.
