Rating: Summary: You get what you pay for... Review: First of all, I only got this thing so I could try out my schnazzy new computer. I simply couldn't wait to try out my new computer. But this keyboard is basically a waste of money and even if you are on a buget, you might consider spending more money on something that lasts. Otherwise, you be spending more money constantly replacing these things. This thing doesn't type certain keys after being used for thirty minutes or more. Eventually it won't type any key(like a while ago when I had to reboot) It is only three months old and is already old and warn out. I'm going to spend a little more and get something that lasts, like a Logitec keyboard. P. S. if anyone knows what the 'Fn' key is, mention it in your review. Just curious, thanks.

Rating: Summary: It broke after three weeks! Review: I bought this keyboard as a replacement for a keyboard that had served me well for more than a year, but had started malfunctioning after I spilled some water on it. After three weeks, I am once again looking for a new keyboard. This keyboard would intermittently stop responding on a regular basis, and it looked like the plug was coming loose. It took considerable luck and a little re-jiggering for the keyboard to start functioning again after these incidents. Then, I pulled the plug out of the computer one day, and it separated entirely. This keyboard will work as a replacement -- but only for a little while.
Rating: Summary: You Get What You Pay For Review: I bought this keyboard for a network server figuring that I would save a few bucks since it wouldn't be used much. There are, however, two main problems with it.1) The keyboard seems incompatible with any monitor A/B switches. I've tried several, but they all lock the keyboard up, which forces me to unplug the keyboard and plug it back in for it to work. 2) The control and shift keys 'stick'. They aren't actually stuck down, but they often 'act' as if they're stuck. To cure it, I have to press both shift buttons or both control buttons. This keyboard, in my opinion, isn't worth the money for what I use it for and it'll be replaced as soon as possible.
Rating: Summary: Good Keyboard for an EXCELLENT Price Review: I bought this keyboard for a system I gave to my sister. This is an excellent keyboard and has not caused my any troubles to this date. The only bad aspect of this hardware is that it is an AT keyboard. This is the larger, older style plug. The keyboard does, however, come with an adaptor to change from AT to PS2, the current, smaller style that most keyboards use. On some machines you may encounter troubles with this adaptor. If you have an enclosed PS2 port or one that is deep in a depression, you may experience troubles getting the adaptor to fit, being that it is a tad large. The easiest way to fix this would be to purchase a PS2 extension cable, which is relatively inexpensive. Overall, this is a great keyboard that functions flawlessly, and which has a superb price. It's a real bargain!

Rating: Summary: Waste of money Review: I recently bought this keyboard locally because my computer's original keyboard went south. This was the only keyboard available at this store and it was cheap, so I bought it. 5 minutes and I knew it was junk. The right cursor key moves the cursor right one letter and then down one line, the spacebar adds a 0 every time you press it, then power keys are in the way, and the Shift keys have no feel. if you do a lot of work in word processors, or design web sites, like I do, this isn't a good thing. I have XP Pro installed, which may contribute to the problems, since the box doesn't state that it supports XP, but I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.
Rating: Summary: Good for the price Review: I wanted just a plain keyboard and that's what this is. Sure it doesn't have any web access buttons (for the lazy person) but it's durrable, the enter button is huge for those of you who need that sort of thing, and it's easy to clean. The only downside is that there are 3 extra buttons: Power, sleep and wake which it doesn't come with software for. Personally, they get in the way and I end up hitting one of those instead of the delete key or the up arrow most of the time.
Rating: Summary: It's a good buy, but... Review: I've purchased it, because I hate the "spanish language" keyboards that are sold around here. It's a nicke keyboard, but I've rated it 4 out f five, becuase the keys are a bit "hard" and sometimes is a bit easy to mistype the stuff you're writing
Rating: Summary: A great value Review: If you're looking for a keyboard that is not one of the ergonomic or natural types, this one is perfect. The most important feature in any keyboard to me is the tactile response. They keyboard I replaced with this one was very "crunchy," meaning you had to press the keys too hard and it made a loud click with every keypress. This one has a light and springy feel which is just right. It has all the extra windows keys if you happen to use them, and is dirt cheap.
