An Introduction to Your New Belkin
Multimedia Keyboard

This keyboard is perfect for users who desire high­performance features at an economical price. It features the
highest quality and design, including high-quality data
markings that ensure the durability of all letters and symbols.
Bothersome key clicking noise is eliminated by high-quality
membrane rubber employing our QuietType™technology.
Of course, all Belkin keyboards are compatible with your
Microsoft®Windows®operating systems.

The Multimedia still has the familiar layout that you are used
to. Using a QuietType™membrane with soft tactile keys will
ensure you ease of use and a comfortable feel. With a 20­million keystroke operating life and a larger-sized “Enter”
key, you can expect reliable and convenient performance
for years to come.

You will also notice that your keyboard comes with a “Turbo”
key, located just below the “Enter” key. When combined with
your function keys (F1 through F12) the “Turbo” key will
adjust your cursor speed for backspacing, deleting, or using
the arrow keys.
