CNET Download.com rated XPeRT Keyboard at 4.0:
"Despite a few minor flaws, this program is generally
excellent. We recommend this download." 3,000+ trials.

From the initial review in June 2004, through Aug 20th or so, the Download.com rating of the XPeRT Keyboard product was 4.0. Thereafter, the rating dropped to 3.0, for reasons not known. The text of the review has not changed. Download.com on its rating : "The Functionality sub-rating covers all performance related issues, and XPeRT Keyboard got a high rating in this area because the software does what it says it will do. It got lower ratings in Features and Interface because of its barebones implementation." Hmmm, isn't a keyboard an Interface? Go figure.
We recommend you take advantage of the free trial, conduct speed tests, and form your own opinion.
100,000+ Trials! .... Reach touch typing speeds with no training.
