It's compact while still having the digital pad and full size arrow keys. But! There is no backlight! I never thought a keyboard nowadays can have no backlight.
Compact, defaults to F keys, somewhat mushy key feel

I like the HP 475 wireless keyboard enough that I have two of them. The main advantages of these keyboards for me are: it's compact while still having a full numpad and full set of navigation keys, the function keys default to F1 to F12 (I use the F keys all the time) and it's wireless so it is easy to set aside to free up desk space. However, the key response feel is a bit on the mushy side and is similar to the HP 230 keyboard. My wish list to improve the HP 475 wireless keyboard would include: use the key mechanism from the HP 960/965 ergonomic wireless keyboards for a better typing experience, add a tactile home key bump on the inverted T cursor keys up arrow key (similar to the F and J home keys), add a tactile home key bump on the Home key and make the numpad zero key double-width by shifting the inverted T cursor keys downward.
A solid keyboard. Weighs more than my previous mini BT version. Goes to sleep and sometimes have to wait for it to start typing. That would be my only gripe.
