Cons: None
Pros: Slim and quiet, Microsoft did a good job on the overall design Comment:
It offers a lot of everyday usage customization buttons, though I don't really use them, but it comes in handy in the future. The look and feel is great, I like how it doesn't produce a lot of sound when I type. Feels soft when you press down on each character. Got it while on sale at 9.99, so great price for great quality! |

Cons: Not great for extended durations
Pros: Very well-built for price. Comment:
I am a student and end up typing a lot. I do not find this keyboard comfortable to use for extended periods of times. Overall this is an amazing keyboard for the price (14.99-30$ on sale) and would recommend it to anyone using it casually (less than 2-3 hours :) |

Cons: - the Function keys aren't seperated in groups; kinda hard the right one
Pros: - Media Keys- Marco keys- Nice and simple layout Comment:
So I bought this keyboard mainly because it had the media keys (play/pause, previous, next, stop, and volume keys). It also has several other macro keys making it easier to open programs, web pages, or what have you. |

Cons: F1-F12 & Esc buttons are a little small.
Pros: Cheap if caught on sale.As a keyboard it works fine.Lots of macro buttons if you're into that sort of thing. Comment:
I bought this on-sale for $14.99. I purchased this cheap, but nothing feels cheap on this keyboard. Has customizable macro settings and although I'm not into that sort of thing, it's a nice feature to have.My only qualm is the F1-F12 & Esc buttons are very small. I find myself hitting the Mail button when trying to hit Esc, but this is very minor, like all new keyboards it just takes some getting used to.For the price I paid, I have absolutely no regrets buying this keyboard. |

Cons: -Program to set macros is terrible
Pros: -Layout is good-Macro keys Comment:
I bought this to replace a broken gaming keyboard and it's a pretty good replacement. The lack of macro keys near the wasd area makes it less useful for gaming but it's understandable since this is a media keyboard. The only real problem I have with this keyboard is why can the media keys be set to macros but the actual macro keys (the numbered keys at the top) can only be set to open programs? That's pretty stupid in my opinion. |

Cons: not fancy, but you shouldn't be expecting something fancy in the first place for this price.
Pros: good keyboardcheapdoes the job Comment:
Got this keyboard because I needed a keyboard. Picked this one because it is cheap and has some good features. Unless you are a hard core gamer, this works for day to day computer use. Can't go wrong for 15 bucks. |

Pros: -Keys are very quiet.-Convenient multimedia keys.-Value and price of product.-Quality.-Slim and ergonomic design. Comment:
This keyboard has quiet keys as well as multimedia shortcuts. It's very comfortable to use. The design is very elegant, nothing too fancy just well designed. Microsoft makes very good quality keyboard even at less than $20 price range you get a very nice product. I have two of these at home and it's one of the best keyboard I've used. |

Cons: -Not the best typing keyboard, keys feel squishy-Spacebar noticeably louder than other keys -Escape key a little to small
Pros: -Relatively cheap-Feels durable-Modern looking-Many media keys-Most keys are silent -Thin and relatively light Comment:
This keyboard would be a great keyboard for general use, but may not be favourable if you are a fast typer (~100 wpm). Media keys are customizable. Keyboard looks sleek and modern. May not be the best media keyboard, but will deliver a solid experience. Great buy, but only when it's on sale. |

Cons: Squishy keys (even for a rubber dome keyboard)
Pros: Relatively cheapMedia keysDecent build quality Comment:
Decent build quality but the keys feel rather squishy even compared to other rubber dome keyboards. I use it as a temporary keyboard when building computers for friends and family. It is good keyboard for the average computer user but I would recommend a mechanical keyboard as a permanent solution for frequent typists. |

Cons: - the function and assignment keys may be too small for some
Pros: - lots a programmable keys- good price when on sale Comment:
I purchased this keyboard for its plethora of programmable keys (including macro assignments). However, this is the first non-mechanical keyboard I've owned and it is taking some time to get used to. If you don't have sharp typing skills, then this keyboard isn't very forgiving. Of course, that may have something to do with these sausage fingers as well!! |

Pros: Slim sleek designMultifunction buttons Comment:
I got this keyboard on sale for only 9.99$! I like the thin design so that it doesn't take a lot of space on your desk, it feels good when you write and doesn't make noisy sound. I love the fact that there's a lot of function buttons and five favorites that you can setup on your own. Very good keyboard for it's price. |

Cons:
the F-keys have been dual purposed and are not the usual size
Pros: slim profile, low key noise, LOTS of cool function keys Comment:
I bought this for my wife to replace an old HP rattler. For aethetics, silent action, nice laptop-like low profile feel, this is a fine keyboard, especially for the price. She uses some data entry programs that rely on F-keys. It took a bit of trouble shooting to realize that you have to actually turn on the F-keys using the button located above the backspace key. This toggles the keyboard to use these as traditional function keys when activated (little green light goes on above the keypad). When off, the usual old function keys take on new roles illustrated with familiar Microsoft icons. Don't get stumped, get fancy. This is a good keyboard. |

Where is the sleep key?
Pros: cheap, works fine, lots of functions Comment:
I bought this for 9.99. It is nice keyboard for the price, it is thin and with many function keys. I might need to change glasses but I can't seem to find the sleep button but you can custom setup the function keys with the disc the comes with the keyboard. |

Cons:
- light laptop like keys - they don't stick out of the keyboard enough for you to feel them
Pros: - great customisable short-cut buttons- light- cheap 9$ on sale Comment:
Shortcut buttons are the best!!! I bought this keyboard just for that feature(and the price of course) and they work great.The only thing I don't like is the buttons - they don't stick out enough to feel them when you type without looking. I guess overall this keyboard is great! For 9$ its not just a steal, its basically you robbing Microsoft of their money. The packaging could cost that! |

- nothing?
Pros: - lots of functions- keys are responsive and quiet Comment:
My brother bought this keyboard and I liked it so much, I bought one for myself. It's very responsive, and the keys are quiet. Lots of media, browsing, navigation, and other functions that you would have a use for. It's at a great price, so if you're looking for a basic keyboard with some functionality, this is a great option. |

Cons: Hard to put keys back when the keys do come loose after I smash it hard enough.
Pros: It works, flat keys, good shortcut keys, withstands my gaming rage smashes. Comment:
Nice little keyboard to replace with my stock keyboard. The media keys work wonders with.For some reason they use a different structure to hold the keys in place. I'm a horrible gamer so I tend to smash my keys from time to time. :P It took awhile for me to figure out how to put the keys back when they pop out. |
got it for $9.99 and for the price it's worth!
