Having now used it myself ( and not just referring to the many reviews that say te keyboards great ). It is well a great keyboard. 

Everything was smooth, app transition, UI, Desktop IE as well as Metro IE. My USB flash went straight in and picked straigt up. Etc etc. Pretty much the experience was the opposite of this review. 

I remember alot of people expecting some overblown reviews from some media due to Apple love or frenzy. Same thing you get with a Halo hater reviewing Halo in the first place.

Luckily people arent listening to these reviews. Probably the reason why Microsoft as set up booths where you just try it yourself. One is set up at my local Shopping mall. People love it. Microsoft even encouraging people to compare it to whatever tablet/Ipad they ave on them at the time. Pricelss seeing peoples face when Safari says Sorry cant play on this device, and the same Webpage working flawlessly on Desktop RT IE.

 

Definately take your Ipads etc to one of these booths. Guarenteed to be impressed.

If I remember correctly, you were using Digital Foundry for X360 vs PS3 multiplatform game comparisons all the time. Am I wrong?

Maybe 5 years ago. For 1 or 2? 

I learned very early on that DF do not take everything into consideration. They base everything off Framerate, Textures etc. And not how much the game does as a whole. DF have been shown up numerous times by Cliff Blezinski and Jon Carmack to name a few as to why they arent right on many occasions.
