Is there keyboard that would be the same or very similar that Dell XPS 15 laptop have? I like that keyboard a lot. It very comfortable to use. Now I'm thinking of buying monitor and then connecting it to my dell laptop, but I need external keyboard.

I searched for similar keyboards, but have not found anything good. I don't want those big keyboards with big buttons. I have used laptops too long, so I kind got accustomed to laptop keyboards, especially dell xps (I have one myself and use another one at work).

I tried looking in dell shop, but couldn't find such keyboard. The only something similar thing I found so far is this: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Bluetooth-Illuminated-Keyboard-Smartphones/dp/B0099SMFVQ

And this is how dell xps laptop and its keyboard looks like (If anyone hadn't seen it):

I love this keyboard so much, its very nice to type with and extremely comfortable.

That one really looks quite nice. If I don't find anything better, this one might be the one. Buttons on that KB are are laid out similary as in dell XPS, so I might get comfortable fast and it does not have big button like in usual keyboards.

Thanks

Also I wanted to ask about battery life of that keyboard. How often do you change batteries. And it seems quite long being 18 inches (~ 46 cm). Doesn't it feel too long and needing your right hand to put too far on right side on mouse?

As far as battery life is concerned it lasts me just under a year before I have to change them again and that's with hours of use a day. Length is fine for me, it feels really nice.

Hope this helps :)
