Does this have the new adaptive keyboard or the older keyboard with hard function keys?

It is the same item, just with a different (probably internal) model designation. Great setup aside from no tilting mechanism on the keyboard.

it's 2 of the function keys along the top row. hold down "fn" key at the bottom and press and release each function key until you find the right one for your computer

No. Just general purpose usage and my opinion has not changed. The problem is the keys hang up and typing is impossible without major disruption.

It actually feels like it should have been the keyboard that came with the computer. The original keyboard had a nice feel to it, but the new keyboard, I must say I like the feel of it much better. I will try to explain: The old keyboard had that 'sitting' up feeling to it...while the new keyboard has a 'seated' feel, which I much more prefer. I'm not sure if that makes any sense but I hope so. It's very responsive to the touch and doesn't look, feel, nor respond as if it were cheaply built at all.

It has hard keys. I love this keyboard. The way the cover slides on is genius. Makes it so easy to carry it on the road and protects the keys so well. I am a flight attendant and this goes in my bag on every trip. I bought one for my husband and daughter and they both love it as well.

Nope. It just has the Dvorak letters. They're the same font as the normal keys underneath.

Physically it's more compact, but all of the main keys are full-sized (letters, numbers, punctuation). Others like HOME, END, PAGE UP/DOWN, ALT, CNTRL, FN, TAB, and FUNCTION KEYS are all smaller.

No, it is not. The one with backlit tile and spill resistant keyboard is U845-S406. Instead of 4GB (as U845-S402 has) it has 6GB and it comes with Bluetooth, but it was $100 more, so I ended up with this one. U945-S4390 also has backlit keyboard an comes with Windows 8, so it's even more expensive.

Not the one I ordered from this item#; Acer ships ones with and without keyboard. Always check the vendor's description.

Theres really no change in how its used. Its still a fully functional keyboard however each stroke lacks the haptic feedback of a 'Klunk'. It essentially turns an entertainment device into a fully functional computer. So, minuscule trade off. I love mine.

It has fewer keys because owners complained about the older one being too big and they hardly use them. Not everyone is happy about this change. For me i like it better because of it's smaller size and I don't use the macro keys so it didn't bother me one bit.

Hey, David. It's mainly the green LED back-lit keys. I recommend the expert edition though. As all it's keys are programmable, it does have the green LED back-lit keys, and it's just a lot more fun to look at. :)

As of 12-2015, this keyboard comes with Ableton Live Lite. Not sure when the change was.

Seemed similar. I hated this keyboard, though. I returned it after a week.Several of the buttons double type. For example, one press of the space bar gives 2-3 spaces every ten times. Drove me crazy

Yeah the old ones were cherry mx blues, if you can find the older model i highly recommend them. Had one for forever and it's still working. Been about 2-3 years now.
