I think the keyboard has a good numberr of buttons. I personally wish the were bubbled a bit more, but the size isn't inconvient to use. I felt the Palm Centro keys were too small, but think the keys on the Touch Pro are a good choice. The backlight SUCKS. Anyone remember the PPC-6700. The Apache had terrible backlighting, this isn't much better. In darkness the corners of this device are hardly visable. I also haven't seen an option to change the duration of the backlight, which I think is too short. Another thng I don't like is the keys don't light up until you press a button. I understand eventually I will know where to press, but for the time being it just plain sucks. I don't think the Mogul acted any differently, but it seems unituitive. I feel that every button should have 2 functions, as is the case only about half are dual function. Tactile feedback is good. Otherwise the shining light of this keyboard is the dedicated number pad. I think this is nice, but I really liked the numbers being in a 10 key-type design on the Mogul.

Any other questions just ask.


EDIT

I forgot to mention that the d-pad is terrible. Left and right are between "home" and "answer" and "back" and "disconnect", respectively. It is terribly inconvient to hit these keys. I also am having a hard time making it go up and down between links in the web browser. I like that you can zoom, but would prefer that scroll. I don't need to zoom all the time, I like to set the zoom and go on about my business.
