Great value

I buy dozens of these keyboards for our company. Nice keyboard, especially for the price.

Very good buy

Nice & light weight,and very functional, nice spacing of the keys. I use this with my laptop for data entry. Work very well,when using it rests my lap, and is lightweight that I can use this for hours.

Little too Cheap?

The keyboard does work however and maybe it is just me being able to type at a pretty rapid rate, yet not wanting to jam in the keys, may make this review seem a little over critical. So if you want something to maybe used as a wired keyboard on a...

It works ; Has Power control buttons ; Keys are fairly quiet

Buttons are not that smooth to press, this causes missed presses ; The inked keys are already starting to wear pretty badly, it is starting to look like a 3 year old keyboard and have only used it for just about a month, (owned for a little longer.)

Good Product

The keyboard performs well.Only complaint is that it is a bit on the light side. Not sure how durable it will be.

I love it

My OEM keyboard was horrible -- the keys stuck, clicked, hung up, and made me hesitant to type fast, without checking what key I was typing. This Gear Head keyboard is a dream -- soft, solid touch; no sticking, etc. Easy to now look at the written work...

For once : Usefull added keys

Simple, elegant, quiet, waterproof, lifetime warranty. Didn't realise how clumsy my old PS2 keyboard was until I plugged this one. The added wake, sleep, and power keys are really usefull.

Not bad for the price

Both the GE and Gear Head versions of this keyboard are identical. Same plastics, and both have Gear Head's USB vendor ID (0B38). I looked at both versions online, and chose the GE version because I wanted to buy locally. (You can get one at [redacted,...

Makes a good backup keyboard ; I bought two of the GE branded versions of this (model 98139) at [redacted, baby!] a couple of weeks ago. One is a backup in case my old Model M malfunctions (Yeah, right :) and one to experiment on. I spent about a week...

Thinness makes it a little flimsy, layout is a little tighter than most full size keyboards. Some merchants want a lot more for this keyboard than others

Great office/general use keyboard.

It's nice to not have hardware that tries to do too much. No conceptual overreach here. Key effort is slightly above what I would call medium, so medium-firm. This would be a great keyboard for an office. It is a keyboard you can sit down and use...

I am typing from a Gearhead kb2500U, bought it at a closeout retailer for 9.99 while I find a replacement for my Logitech G510. It works in my BIOS, has power management keys, and requires no buggy software to use and resumes from sleep gracefully. Buy...

This is a light duty keyboard, and there is no mistaking that. Slightly non-standard layout, small backspace key that I got used to in 2 minuets, home-end-insert bank a little different, and no fancy features - this can be a plus - less to go wrong....
