The key feel is nice. It's quiet, and the keys are comfortable to press. The function keys are smaller than the other keys to save on space but work just fine. The attached USB cord is nice and long (about 6 foot). The overall build quality feels decently solid for the price point. It auto installed on Win 10 without a hitch.
Misses are minor. It lacks a sleep button. It has a calculator button instead that, for me, is far less useful than a sleep button. It also lacks non-slip pads on the base. There are two legs that can be used to prop up the keyboard, but the keyboard is so light that it's easy to shift the position of it in use. I solved it with some stick-on non-slip material.
I've always used Microsoft keyboards and have yet to have one fail on me. There are other basic keyboards that are a dollar or two less expensive than this, but considering this is less than $11, I'd rate the overall value as very good. If you're looking for a basic, everyday keyboard and don't need/want anything fancy, this will fit the bill well and do so at a great price. Five stars.
After about 18 months I started having issues with the keyboard. First the little nub on the J key wore down to the point where I couldn't locate it by touch anymore which slowed down my typing but I eventually got used to. Around that time the cable started to short as well. At first it was just a little off/on here and there but it progressively got worse until a few days ago when it completely crapped out.
I did wind up getting another one to replace it because I do like the feel and it's very quiet. The new keyboard appears to be the same as the old except that the Windows key on the left of the keyboard has been replaced with a Fn key which can launch tools in Windows 8.1 to Search, Share, Play or access PC Settings when the Fn key is pressed together with one of function keys F5 through F8. Not sure I'll be using this new feature much but it doesn't change the usability for me much as I don't think I ever used that key.
Shame the keyboard last for such a short period of time due to a cable that could have been made stronger and had a strain relief and if the nub on the J key didn't wear out. Good price though.
Original Review:
This might be the first time I changed keyboards and didn't feel my typing suffered. I was going to spend a little more for an illuminated keyboard which would have been cool but I read some complaints the build quality. I've had good experience with MS keyboards that lasted a long time.
I don't like change when it comes to keyboards. My last keyboard was a Microsoft Internet Keyboards which I had for many years. I kept it through different upgrades. I can't remember how long I've had it but the little bumps on the J and F keys had completely worn down. I don't like change when it comes to keyboards it slows me down.
I can get used to my own laptops and other computers easily but when I have to sit at someone else's computer it feels like I'm learning to type again for the first time.
I've only had this keyboard 1 day but that's enough to know I like it. As soon as I plugged it in I was able to type at full speed without any problems. There were some other pricier keyboards but I don't really care about keyboards that light up or that have extra programmable keys. There is only one key I would have a hard time going with out, the Calculator key above the numeric keypad. I have gotten very used to that. This Microsoft 600 Keyboard has a Calculator launch button as well as 4 media buttons for Play/Pause, Vol-, Vol+ and Mute. Didn't think I'd use them much but I was wrong. They volume buttons come in very handy.
Keys are shorter (flatter) than a traditional keyboard. More like a laptop but the keys have separation and a distinct curvature that makes it easy to differentiate between keys if you touch-type. Most importantly, all the keys are where they should be on a full size keyboard.
It's light yet feels durable and the rubber feet keep it from sliding around.
The Microsoft Keyboard 600 is also very quiet. Compared to the Microsoft Internet Keyboard it replaced it is a little quieter. The Internet Keyboard has a little more plastic on plastic tones. All I hear typing on this is the soft sound of the mushy buttons being depressed. It's a world away from the old clicky keyboards I used to like.
When you're typing it's not hard to depress the keys and you know when you've pressed it enough.
The Microsoft Internet Keyboard made me a fan of their hardware. I bought a Microsoft mouse recently after I got fed up with Logitech mice dying so quickly to.
Bottom line, great keyboard, great price. Does what you need. my only con is I wish it came with a USB to PS/2 adapter just so I wouldn't have to use up another USB port.
Another keeper.
Back to this one: Microsoft keyboards have always been good to me. No matter what price point you choose, you still get a great keypad. What you pay extra for in other models are the bells and whistles that I never use. And of course with wireless keyboards, you pay for "low delay" or "low lag", and other such wireless-only features.
The action is great, and the key feel allows confident typing. The key edges are not sharp and not square like cheap keyboards. The separation between the contact portion of the pads is great for my hands (size large in gloves).
This keyboard has what I have found to be the critical features: in addition to what I mentioned above, it has the standard keyboard layout of the arrow keys, ins/del block, and the number pad. Do not underestimate the importance of this if you use your keyboard for writing! It also separates those blocks well, which is a common failing of many keyboards. finally, the function keys are separated into blocks of four, unlike most modern keyboards. This is critical for typing in the dark.
The bells and whistles I like are volume control and calculator, the former being so important when you have a docked laptop. There is a play/pause key as well, but I always find those to be useless.
The one negative I have is that the numlock indicator is WAY too bright. But I keep a stock of dimming stickers (light filters) so it's a small thing to me. I should mention I am fairly light sensitive, so maybe it's not a big deal to you. I do like that the cap lock and scroll lock are bright because I really want to know when they are on right away. So, it's not a negative to this model, since most keyboards use too-bright lights. I think it's because most people don't use the number pad (which I simply could not live without), and perhaps most people don't enable automatic numlock on during boot.
So, excellent keyboard for me, and an excellent value
