i was able to adapt to the dell mini 9 keyboard.
i never did any long documents since the mini 9 was a "carry-around" device.
i did write long email and had to adjust to the keyboard.
it was a small adjustment for me--even with my notoriously fat fingers!

i almost always used a usb mouse and tested it with a usb keyboard.
both functioned prefectly.
