keyboard is equipped with a ps/2 connection. Requires a ps/2 -usb adapter to utilize. Keyboard should be shipped with this adapter included. this fact should be made aware on the product description section

Its a keyboard. I am using it to type this right now. It works just fine. I needed a new one and didn't want to invest a lot of money into a nice gaming one. Also needed one that wouldn't take a lot of room up on my desk since I have textbooks and what...

This keyboard works ; Is smaller sized ; Is black. Even the safety label is completely black (with a little red) ; The command keys on top work nicely ; Keys are very quiet ; I feel the PS/2 cable is not to short or long ; CHEAP! (but sturdy) ; It is...

Not Ergonomic like my old one ; Shortcut keys (Control+C,V,X,B,U,I,O,P,Y,N,F,A,S,Z) highlighted (I use a different keyboard layout than QWERTY). This might be useful for other people, though ; See other thoughts

inexpensive ; functional ; easy to use

it works ; has useful volume control keys

keys too soft ; no click sound to validate typing ; no power on/off key

Bought 2 and have used them on 2 computers. Good basic functionality. Easy connection and no problems, PS2 connection. Giving 1 to my daughter to replace a trashed out KB and she is happy with it

Compact, nice multimedia buttons.

No driver disk, took about 15 mins delving through the depths of the Micro$oft site trying to find them.

Price, spill proof

The characters look to be painted on with some cheap looking stuff that'll probably rub off after a while. No biggie just buy another one ; they're so cheap

Cheap, solid, nice little click to the keys. I've been using this keyboard for about 6 months now for tasks like word docs to fps gaming and it's been good. At first, I was bothered by the layout of the delete, home, and end keys because I use them a...

There is a bit of plastic to plastic friction that may or may not affect you during gaming depending on how hard you push the keys. At first, the layout of the delete, home, end keys. I would've liked to have a dedicated Next and Previous or Back...
