Having tossed out my stock Dell keyboard for a cheapy I bought at a discount store i was soon frustrated by the lack of features and function and smaller then conventional typing area that one offered (with a frustratingly small backspace key). So I ordered one of these and its gotta be the best $20 keyboard anywhere.
The keys are well placed and clearly marked, typing on it feels intuitive, and it is fairly quiet. It has little rubber pads on the bottom that make it STICK to your desk as well as two little "feet" in front that pop up if you want to tilt the board toward you. And the bottom edge, although not a hand rest, is well shaped and provides enough space to rest your hands nonetheless. The keyboard is very comfortable to use and streamlined for form and function, unlike some other keyboards who's controls and buttons resemble a busy dashboard of an automobile.
I have used a plain vanilla keyboard for so long this one is a real joy. It opens my homepage, email client (it supports several clients, one being Hotmail), has master volume controls, mute, media controls for audio/video applications, a power off button, opens the calculator, etc....and best of all the software provided to allow you to program hot keys is top notch. You have the twelve F keys to program however you like to open whatever application, file, folder, webpage, etc you care to open. And a nifty one touch "close" button as well as a "go back" button at the left edge of the board. Everything is literally at your fingertips, and whatever program or file you open or function you are using is attractively displayed in big green text at the bottom of your monitor screen (this feature can be disabled). Also, if you need to use standard F keys it has a key to toggle back and forth between "standard" and "enhanced" keys. Which is handy if you play games, for obvious reasons.
The only cons with this keyboard are the keys are a bit small (just a tad, you'll quickly acclimate) and if you are a memory / system resources obsessed type the software to make it all happen takes 14 megabytes of RAM to run. Which is really very little by todays standards.
Not the most spectacular or most expensive keyboard, just one that does EVERYTHING right, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and function of this item for $20. Sure there are other choices that do the same and more. But if you are looking for an easy to use, streamlined, uncluttered, fully functional, and INEXPENSIVE keyboard solution to handle the basics and a fair bit beyond, this $20 Logitech should go top of your list.
