I disagree... I LOVE the 1000 keyboard. It is the perfect size, and it is very
easy to clean. The 2000 keyboard is a behemoth, and has a monster cable
connecting it to the computer. Not very convenient for putting in your lap. The
1000 keyboard is compact, but not crowded, and has a lightweight telephone
cable as a connector.
