Almost great

 

Byuer be ware.. it is very hard to adjust to different Key Layouts

Slim design Almost exactly like my other one same brand and everything

ENTER KEY Why is it that these Keyboard designers feel it is neccesary to move the keys around on these things.. the one I've had for over a year is the KL-7MU ; the enter and "\" keys are in the right place

A4Tech KL-8MU 2-Tone 104 Normal Keys 17 Function Keys USB Wired Slim X-Slim Keyboard

 

I didn't bother installing the cd drivers as several of the quick keys work without it. I don't like extra stuff running in my taskbar just so I can press the fast forward button on the keyboard and such like that. Not important to me ;)

Sleek, comfortable, quiet. I love the USB port on the keyboard as well as the mic/headphone jacks. I really like this keyboard. You can't beat it for the buck

simple & sweet

 

If you're a gamer this isn't for you. If you surf, look at pics, watch movies & listen to music, this is the one you want.

Slim & simple. Plenty of media buttons (play, mute, volume, forward,etc.) that work well with Microsoft & iTunes. They can also be set to whatever

Not bad

 

I got this keyboard because i wanted one that was slim, i liked the idea of a usb port. I would've liked it better if they would have made it a usb keyboard instead of a PS2 keyboard but it really doesn't make that much difference. The enter key is a...

Responsive keys, usb port, audio ports, thin

Enter key is a bit odd

this is not the keyboard you're looking for

 

If you want the keyboard pictured, DO NOT click add to cart. I ordered this specifically for the keyboard layout and ended up with the exact type I've been AVOIDING.

slim, still looks nice

I'm sure the keyboard in the picture is nice, but you will receive a different one that has an annoying layout for the enter and backslash keys. Also, it's not a USB keyboard as one may be fooled into believing

Worth the money

 

For the price, it has to be one of the best deals I've gotten in a long time. No stands to angle keyboard, and it is PS/2. The USB part is simply an extension cord that routes to the side of the keyboard. Very aesthetically pleasing (to me).

Very flat (what I was looking for, this may be a con for you), has no sleep key, media buttons work with plug and play driver ; Headphone and Microphone extensions are wonderful (I take my headphones with me most of the time and need to plug them in...

The right shift key looks like it wobbles, and it does. However, when typing, I don't notice this at all

excellent keyboard

 

I'm not one to go against popular belief too much, but I have to admit I don't agree with really any of the reviews I read. I went into my purchase history to buy another one of these keyboards to replace the one I just ruined by spilling tea on it and...

Low profile (not laptop-style as many proclaim, but the profile is much lower than standard keyboards). The USB/headphone and microphone jacks are excellent and do require no drivers or anything special like that. The media keys all work without...

the keyboard has 1 wire which separates into several at the end. This could have had a little bit longer cables at the end, with some motherboards it's a stretch to be able to plug in the keyboard and the usb at the same time

Nothing special

 

Keyboard is not as cheap as other reviews mentioned. It's about average for its price range. Keys are slightly louder and require more pressure than most keyboards that come with pre-packaged computer systems by big name brands.

Easy access mic/speaker/USB extension plugs. Additional pass- through for speakers and keyboard to be plugged in at the same time. Special function buttons. No Install CD or drivers necessary. Keyboard stays put very well

Requires USB, mic, speaker, and PS2 to fully function. USB is only for USB extension when these days USB can replace all other 3 plugs. No risers (be sure it's what you want, I thought I'd cope, but it requires more finger extension and pressing as the...

Rejudging

 

I've had this for about two months. I havn't done any excessive typing or gaming on it and I believe this to be a waste of my money. I gave this a 4 rating the day I got it. It worked beautifully, except for the extra buttons. I should have waited...

It looks somewhat nice. The USB port is convenient, as are the headphone and mic jacks

The four keys to the left of my "b" key don't work at all ; Other random keys, focused mainly in the upper left, and more on the letter keys only work about hald the time. Unless I jam my fingers into them, that is ; The tab button refuses to work most...
