    I bought this keyboard as an affordable option, till I can afford to buy a gaming one with lights but i feel like I might stick with it for a long time. The keys are solid and don’t feel cheap. It’s worth the money in my eyes.

    When my original keyboard bit the dust I had to go to my local Best Buy in Watertown NY. I walked in, asked where the wired keyboards were, and found one that cost only $12. It was Best Buy's brand & had everything I need with no add ons that I would never learn. Frugal, in and out in 10 minutes, am I in Heaven?

    It was a good keyboard, and it didn’t give any problem, the cord was thick or anything that made too much of a big deal and the keyboard is extremely lightweight. The keys are ver silent as well

    Great minimalist keyboard. Used for Rig Maintenance for Crypto Currency mining. Being an older designed keyboard, it is compatible with all types of Mobo’s. Tested on z87, z270-a, z390, b550, x570 mobos. My oem omen 30l keyboard is not compatible with older systems, especially Linux and Hive OS. Especially when jumping from a Ryzen 9 5950x systems to older amd rebtech or b250c boards.

    Sometimes he likes to have a plain Jane mechanical keyboard for my laptop Nothing fancy not a gaming keyboard not a Bluetooth keyboard and this just gets the job done This is the second one I've owned the first one was my own fault I broke the legs and it had nothing to do with the build quality These things are great they're only around like $10 You won't find them in the back of the store You'll find them next to the service desk generally to the right or the left depending on the store and a little cash wrap just a couple racks on the side so if you just want a nice office keyboard full layout These things are great and they will not quit on you I'm sure they have some nice cherry micro switches inside and whatnot They're not clicky they're if anything if they use cherries or cherry mix brown They have the nice bump haptic feedback but they're not clicky keys which is nice I just broke one of the legs and that was my own fault because I sat on it by accident when I had it on the bed when I was moving a bunch of stuff around and redoing my desk setup so that's why I had to buy a second one It's never failed me I use it quite a bit In fact I was just using it earlier for when I like to close my laptop and using on my desktop monitor or use it on my television because I'm using my television as a way to stream television shows that I have on my computer etc

    Best keyboard for the value

    Bought this keyboard because I have to have a full sized keyboard. My job did not have any extra so I needed to buy one for work and home use. I was really impressed how soft the keys feel. They don’t feel hard when pressed down like other cheaper keyboards and the soft sound of key presses is quite surprising for the price of the keyboard. For a traveling keyboard that I can use while traveling for work and gift to the thrift store so I don’t have to add extra weight to my luggage, this is the best low end full sized keyboard. I have my home based Logitech keyboards but this one can surely compete when it needs to with the higher end keyboards.

    For the price, it works great. Has function keys at the top for volume, and media. It also works great for games. No need to spend hundreds on a "Gaming Keyboard", it's just a marketing scam. I can type 75wpm on this keyboard, same as most other keyboards.

    If you’re looking at this keyboard, I just want to say “Yes, just get it.” Great basic keyboard for the price. I use it to connect to my laptop since I don’t like using my laptop’s keyboards when I’m at my home desk. Performs well. No complaints. I also bought this type of product at BestBuy instead of Amazon because of the additional support and retailer you can trust.

    I purchased this item because I needed a keyboard with a mouse that did not require to be plugged in. Due to the pandemic, working from home is the new norm and I need a clean environment with minimal connections involved, the USB accomplished that. The keyboard has lasted going on two years now.

    I have been using this for over 8 months. It's a cheap keyboard that gets the job done. Not much to more to say other than that I wish it has the option to adjust screen brightness on it. I did spill mango juice all over it. I cleaned it up, and although it is sticky because I didn't clean it thoroughly, it is still working! So if you're clumsy like me and need a cheap keyboard to withstand what you throw at it, this is not bad.

    Purchasing this wired USG keyboard allowed me to both avoid the touch pad when using my HP laptop and also use it to rectify the inability to access my old laptop which had a stuck key, the last digit of my passcode. This was not what I had hoped for, but the remedy of interchangeably using this keyboard on both of my old laptops and circumvent the issues I was having with both. Wow, Paul, you pulled out all the stops to help me with my 2010 Toschiba and my 2018 HP, the Windows7 and 10, both being out of date to repair or close to being so.
