Microsoft Wired Desktop 600 for Business Keyboard - Black

Over the years I have had many different keyboards some from Microsoft and some from other producers. With that said, especially for the price this is one of the better keyboards I have purchased. Microsoft, in my experience, tends to be quite good at making keyboards which are comfortable to use and designed with ergonomics in mind, this keyboard matches this pattern. Obviously, if you had a higher budget you would be able to get a much more comfortable keyboard however for the price this keyboard will do the job if you use a keyboard for a good amount of your day. However, if you do intensive work during this time, such as long essay writing or business document writing then you would be better off spending a larger amount of money. One of my favourite features of Microsoft keyboards is the calculator shortcut key which for someone which uses the calculator quite frequently is a huge timesaver. Along with this, the volume and video control keys can save time if used efficiently. However the keyboard and mouse do have their limitations, firstly they are both wired which if you are looking for a keyboard and mouse which is more versatile you are better looking for a wireless alternative. Secondly, the mouse is smaller than others so if you have large hands that could be an area of concerns for you. Other than those though the keyboard and mouse is overall of good quality and worth buying if you are looking for a budget keyboard which does the job. Summary Pros - Microsoft keyboard shortcuts (calculator button, sound/video controls) The ergonomics of the keyboard are acceptable Great price for the product Cons - Smaller than a normal mouse (mainly thinner than a regular mouse) Wired

Arrived within 4 days of ordering at the present cost of £15.26 free P&P. Well packaged. Plugged into usb and they worked instantly. (I have Windows 7). Nice clear keyboard. The keys are easy to read, clear white on black, slightly concave so your fingers sit in easily and slightly textured not shiny plastic. It also is a lot quieter than my last keyboard but with a satisfying small click which I like! Wouldn't want one too silent! It also has small props which can be opened out to raise the keyboard if you like. Has all the keys and they're in the right place! One thing I would say is that the F keys (function keys? F4 etc.) are very small and, if you use them often it would be easy to mis-hit. Not a problem for me as I never know without looking where they are anyway! Usual numeric pad on the right, windows explorer button, volume controls and scrlk (screen lock?) Just found a button which automatically brings up the calculator - that'll be handy! My old keyboard was horribly ancient so not sure whether these are standard anyway!! Mouse is a perfect size, (not too small which a lot of them seem to be), and fits in the hand easily. Optical technology is so much quicker than my last "roller ball" type mouse! It's wired which I wanted as I didn't want to be bothered with batteries and I think a wireless mouse would probably end up on the floor! If the F keys were larger it would be perfect but this is only a minor gripe. Overall, very pleased indeed and it's a pleasure to use! Highly recommend it.

I like it but I don't love it. What I did love was my previous keyboard which was the Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard 3000. That was the nicest keyboard I'd ever had and I really wanted to purchase it again but it appears Microsoft do not make it. The closest option to it I could find was only available in wireless which I didn't want. So I opted for this 600 set. It's similar in appearance, the keys are real nice on it, low set and quiet just like the 3000 apart from missing a lot of media keys. This also makes the 600 a very smaller slimmer model which I was aware of when purchasing obviously via the images. It's very light weight and will get some getting used to if you have used bigger media keyboards in the past. As for the mouse, well it is just a joy to have a mouse that works properly. I'd forgotten what that was like. I'd been working with a small LED mouse for a number of years now, the scroll wheel had stopped working and webpages would move up and down whenever trying to right click a link. It's stupid that it even took me so long to look into getting a new mouse. So I'm really happy to have this little Microsoft one that does what it is meant too. As I said, I like it but I do not love it just yet.

Leider steht nirgendwo in der Beschreibung, dass es sich nicht um eine Deutsche Tastatur handelt, sondern US.

El teclado me gusta, tacto muy suave de las teclas, me gusta la tecla de calculadora para acceder a ella y las teclas multimedia. Pero no se el porqué pero pierde la conectividad, sin ninguna pauta de tiempo o de pulsar teclas concretas.

Leider fehlt im Text und der Beschreibung die Aussage, dass es sich um eine amerikanische Tastatur handelt. Für mich in Deutschland nicht zu verwenden, da Y und Z vertauscht sind und die Sonderzeichen anders belegt sind. Vom Design und der Ergonomie gut.
