   I ordered two of these keyboards and they were delivered promptly and work great out of the box. I do recommend the product to purchasers who want a simple, cheap, functional USB keyboard with good key action with a decent solid feeling to it.

   However, as someone who uses a keyboard all day at work and for a probably unhealthy amount at home as well, I couldn’t give the keyboard 5 out of 5.

   Someone probably thought it would be a great idea to include “extra” keys that many keyboards have these days: e.g. Power/Sleep/Wake Up. Well, its kinda sorta a good idea. The problem is that the manufacturer achieved this by moving the insert/delete keys down a line.

   Look closely at the picture and you’ll see that above the cursor keys there is a block of 3 x 3 keys, not the usual two rows of 3 keys.

   Its frustrating to remember that when I want “insert” I need to press where “delete” used to be, and pressing what I thought was “insert” is now “print screen”. On top of that, you might accidentally power off your computer if you try to hit where “print screen” normally is.

   This keyboard would be simply excellent if they’d kept the normal layout, or put a special “alt” function that enables different keysets. As it is, it is between 3-4 out of 5.

   Very cheap for the price, although it seems quite old since theres a big enter key

   I have been using this keyboard for months now as a replacement for the keyboard on my Dell Notebook. The keys on the built-in for the lap top are popping up because I type too hard, so I decided to get a new one, but I decided to go cheap. I wasn’t disappointed! The enter key and the backspace take a few days to get used to, but they’re no big deal. I’ve also recommended this to a friend who is in need of a keyboard to plug into her laptop.
