4.0 out of 5 stars Great keyboard, March 16, 2006

I ordered this keyboard because it was cheap, USB, and looked nice. Upon receiving it, I'm pleased with it. Installation is a breeze, there are no drivers with it, XP recognizes it and installs it with no work on my part. It has an extremely slim profile with the legs down, and the feel and response of the keys is very nice.

Two things keep me from giving this 5 stars.
1. The space bar squeeks sometimes when it is pressed. I haven't been using the keyboard for very long, so we'll see if it goes away or gets worse.
2. The backspace key is smaller than my previous keyboard's was. Because of that I end up hitting '\' quite often instead of backspace. Odds are I'll get used to it though.

Outside of those two things, Kensington makes a decent keyboard, which will hopefully last for quite a while. All in all, it's a nice keyboard with a great feel to it.

We were looking to replace our current keyboard with something that would do the basic things we needed it to. This keyboard is the most basic, but you would expect that with the price that it is. When we got it home and hooked it up, we discovered that the keyboard did not have "legs" on the back to angle it upward (our previous one had done that and it made typing more comfortable). It lays perfectly flat, unless you prop up the back some other way. Otherwise, it works fine for what we need it to do, and it has served our purposes. In the future, we wouldn't buy this one, however, because it does make typing less comfortable.

I just bought a second one of these but it is NOT the same design as the last one. The model number now has an "A" suffix: K64370A instead of K64370. It is a new "slim profile" design without the metal backplate but is actually sturdier, especially if the rear legs are opened, due to its use of molded plastic "spines" instead of the "tacked on" metal backplate of the previous model. It is not as heavy but seems even more solid. The main keys are the same full size but are quieter (less "clacky" and not as wobbly) and slimmer. The "F" keys are now smaller and the key cluster above the arrow keys is now only 6 keys instead of 9. Yes, those pesky "power" keys are gone. It still has the "limited lifetime warranty" and sealed membrane to resist spills. I actually like this design a bit better so I am going to keep it. Amazon does need to update their listing though with a new description and photo. It is however beginning to look like the end of the road for those that really want a real, old-style full-size keyboard.
