The keyboard on the S10-2 is a little small compared to some netbooks, stabbing it with a short lay-out (instead of blocks in the keyboard as much space as possible to what we see on the HP netbooks). This is no bad thing, because you get used to after a while, but from full-size notebook keyboard and larger netbook can be a challenge. Keyboard support is excellent, exhbiting not flex or trampoline effect when typing. Individual keys feel strong with no wobble when your fingers glide over the surface, and the key action is very smooth with a gentle “click” data when you create a key. [via aving]
