Summary: Hey, it's a keyboard
Review: After the 'i' key on my old Mitsumi 101 keyboard died after 5 years of abuse, it was time for me to buy a new one.

I went to a local store and tested various keyboards that were for sale. The Logitech stood out for me since it:

1) Had a good price

2) Had a name on it that I recognized.

3) It didn't have all of those extra keys on it (such as the key to adjust the volume, to run a web browser, etc). I would have rather done without the 3 extra W*ndows keys, but keyboards without those keys are nearly impossible to come by.

4) It has a key response that I like. As the reviewer below says, the 'tactile feedback' is not as much when compared to many other keyboards out there.

5) The wrist rest fits well and snaps tight on to the keyboard. I'm glad one was included since the front edge of the keyboard is a bit curvy, and my old foam rest probably would not match up with it very well.

Summary: YOU CAN'T BEAT IT FOR THE PRICE!
Review: Hey ... it's cheap and it works. It's been working fine for me for over a year now, and I would say even that much use is worth less than $20.00. Need a cheap keyboard that's reliable ... look no further.

Summary: Logitech 104 Deluxe Keyboard - Gets the job done.
Review: I bought this Keyboard as a replacement for my old, yet reliable and functional Fujitsu 4725, which weighs ~4lbs. It wasn't all that I wanted it to be, but then again, it could have been because I was so used to the Fujitsu I was using. I'm used to having that heavy keyboard, and those Keys which give me a bit more tactile feedback than the Logitech's do. Also, the heavier base tends to turn me on more.

Some points to note: The Wristrest, while detachable, is hard to remove w/o the help of a small flathead screwdriver. But w/ the aid of a tool, its fairly easy. Logitech has fixed this problem on its later models of keyboards (the iTouch ones) by using a screw to hold a piece of plastic in place, holding the wristrest there. The Keyboard is fairly light... so if lightness doesn't turn you on, don't get it.

As mentioned before, the tactile feedback is not as much as some other keyboards -- but this is all a matter of personal preference.

Overall, this is a good keyboard, made by a quality company. If you don't want to spend a lot, at least spend this much for a quality keyboard. Pretty much the best for its price, unless you pick up a good deal on some used stuff.

Summary: Solid, reliable, and inexpensive.
Review: I purchased this keyboard after my wife spilled water on my old one and shorted it. It's proven to be very reliable, not super quiet, but not noisy either. Even though I eventually upgraded to the Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro (and drinks are now banned from the computer room), I still use the Logitech at work with my laptop, and it's still going strong. Not much else you can say about a basic 104 key keyboard, but essentially it boils down to comfort and reliability, and this keyboard delivers strongly on both counts.

Summary: Hey, it's just a keyboard!
Review: Well, reviews for keyboards aren't that important anyways because there really can't be a "bad" keyboard, unless it doesn't work. Well, this one works, and it works well. Infact, I'm typing this review with it. It's "quiet, tactile" key action is quite true; this is the quietest keyboard I've ever used. Very good at not waking anobody next door, while keeping its nice responsiveness. (This isn't one of those quiet keyboards where the keys kind of sink and don't have that distinct typing noise, this one is just, well, "perfect") The font on the keys are more attractive than other fonts, just my opinion, and the palm rest is indeed very comfortable. Very elegant design too. I don't know if it's "really" spill proof yet because to tell the truth, I've never really spilled anything on it. Well, guess I'm overobsessing. Its is just a keyboard after all.
