What are the odds, that the letters and numbers/symbols from the physical keyboard, will erase themselves in time, under heavy usage?

How is the keyboard tactile feedback? Can you type without quickly getting your fingers tired? Is it backlit?
Are number keys intelligent
unlike Jasjar/ Universal I do not see any dedicated number keys at the top row. Are the number keys intelligent to automatically identify number fields or do I have to press some function or blue key etc to activate numbers?

That's very surprising...Not backlit!?!? However, when you consider that it has a whopping 5" screen glaring down onto the keyboard, you may also see that there is no point in backlighting the keys.
After using the keyboard, I can say that not having backlit is not an issue at all as there is already a hugh torchlight (the screen) shinning on it. The feel and feedback is also acceptable. The biggest weakness is the way keys are set out.
1. there should be a row of number key in addition to the keypad style layout.
2. the numeric keypad should have followed the computer and calculator style (with 7 8 9 on top and 123 at the bottom) instead of mobile phone format (where 123 is on top and 789 is at the bottom). The commonly used spreadsheet/calculator symbols such as + - * / ( ) are normally used at the sakme time. The should be activated by the same special function key. The should be laid out to be as logically as possible rather than all over the place as currently the case.
3. The most common punctuation marks should be accessable without having to first press shift or special function key abd should be tyoed by the right hand. All other punctuation marks and special characters should have been activated in the sane way as capital letters.i.e. via the shift key. In other word, when the shift key is pressed, we should be able to access all symbols and capital letters. It is radiculos to have to keep switching between pressing the shift key and special function key now.
4. the letter Z must go directly below A to have any chance of fast typing. All keyboards are done that way except this one.
In my next posting, I'll show my preferred keyboard layout.
This might help. Lots of opinions on the keyboard, and some suggestions on alternatives.

is there any way of getting a larger onscreen keyboard on the x10 as my fingers are quite large for the small size keys and i keep hitting the wrong keys
Try Swype or SlideIT - both use sliding to work out the words and are less reliant on typing accuracy..
I read in the manual that you can change the layout of the keyboard. the only option I see is qwerty....how to do I make it show the cell phone keyboard?
Arrow
When you have the keyboard open, there is an icon underneath it, with an arrow pointing upwards. If you get your stylus out and press the arrow (not the keyboard icon), you will get a few options (Phone Keypad, Compact QWERTY and Full QWERTY). I use full QWERTY but I do admit that the Phone Keypad is quite easy to use.
Hope that helps
What keyboard do you use on your Iconia? And why?
I'm looking for a good keyboard, so tell me what you use.
I use SwiftKey X Tablet.. why?
I love the split keyboard where each thumb has the ability to reach each key if you're holding the tablet on landscape; like you're holding a steering wheel. With the default keyboard, your thumb normally cannot reach the center of the keyboard where letters TYGHVBN are.
Any other keyboards out there have special features out there that are designed for tablets? I want to know.
I use thumb keyboard on my A500. It was free on the amazon app store

The Logitech K400 is a wireless kb with trackpad that uses a small USB dongle. Instant response and the trackpad works.
For touch, I like the Swype keyboard. Zero complaints. For a tactile keyboard, I use an HP wireless USB mouse/keyboard combo that sat unused for years until I got my A500.
Try "any soft keyboard". Its a little obscure, but I turned off the word prediction and added a number row to the top. If you pinch out it will split the keyboard and if you pinch in it will put it back to normal.
+ 1 for Swype.... I use for tablet and phone
Hackers Keyboard for touch screen, and I just use my old folding Palm Bluetooth keyboard for longer typing. The Palm keyboard works perfectly, folds small, saw no reason to get something newer.
I use Parboti Keyboard and/or MultiLing O Keyboard to type Bangla. As we have more letters than 26 we need to often press the shift key to type those letters. When I select Blackberry Keyboard (English) and slide open the physical keyboard, I don't have to press Shift and 'a' at the same time to get A. It is as if the Shift key is kept pressed once I press it. I want the same effect on my custome keyboard layout on Parboti or Multiling.
Please guide me someone. Thanks.
