Dell USB Wired Multimedia Desktop Keyboard, English, Model: KB216 (White)

Just got it and trying it out. Good: * It is quiet, though not silent. Quiet is good. * Perfectly standard size keypboard. * Comfortable tilt angle. * Good key resistance when typing. * Definitely a very good value. Could be better: * Biggest: The 10-key pad is smaller than what Ive used in the past. About 10% smaller. "Only 10%?" Thats a big adjustment for someone who is very fast with a 10-key pad. Ill probably adjust but my key rate is way slower. If you use 10-key all day, you dont want this. * The keys have small height. Its closer to a membrane keyboard than a classic keyboard. It doesnt have a responsive feel to it. * The keys are almost flat. Not quite, but again doest have the tactile touch feeling of a classic keyboard.

For the price, this is a quality keyboard. I quickly got used to the low profile keys, and now Im sad that Ill never find an actual gaming keyboard with these kind of keys. Pros: Its harder for dirt and dander to get under the keys. The keys feel really good to press. Its low profile, but doesnt feel compact or cramped. Cons: Ghosting problems - its suitable for mid-level gaming, but you will occasionally find issue when trying to press 3-4 specific key combinations. Key labels: The S key is already wearing off. This is a fairly common problem with most keyboards. I didnt notice this when I bought it, but the Print Screen key being a function key is poor design. I was able to use Auto Hotkey to remap the mute key into the print screen key. Again, I like this keyboard a lot, and I also hate it. I would love to have this keyboard with some better design choices.

I got this to replace a nasty old Compaq keyboard that Ive been using as a backup since my fancy Apple keyboard broke. Theres no way Im buying another Apple keyboard for what it cost and how short it was before it broke, but I was hoping to get something that had keys and dimensions that were similar. It looks like its close enough, for me, especially given the price. Since Im using it with a Mac, I had to change the modifier keys, especially since thered be only one windows key to assign as being a command key. And it looks like even the cheaper keyboards all now have dedicated keys for vol up & down, and the F12 key works to open/close the optical drive. Despite being plastic, this keyboard doesnt have a cheap feel, at least not to me. I like the action of the keys. My only complaint is probably something that a non-Apple/non-Mac user wouldnt probably know about - theres no USB ports at the ends of the keyboard. Apples been making keyboards with the ports at the end since even prior to USB. With a tower style computer and a corded mouse, those ports are really a necessity. ...So, my only real complaint is no USB ports on the keyboard itself. At this price, I wouldnt knock off a star usually, but I know that Logitech makes this keyboard, and they got everything else right.

What is there to say? It is a cheap and flimsy keyboard that has a nice minimalist feel. Cons: The keys are very mushy, and the writing on the key caps is like a decal that will likely wear off quickly. I expected the keycaps to be more like those on a dell laptop. Pros: It is a cheap keyboard that looks decent enough. It even types and everything. Bottom line: It is cheap, looks good and is functional. In hindsight I wish I had spent a little more to get something with more durable key caps, but as a backup keyboard it is fine. Definitely would not use this as a long term daily driver.
