Microsoft Wired Desktop 600 (Black) - Wired Keyboard and Mouse Combo. USB Connectivity. Spill Resistant Design. Plug and Play

What I love most about this keyboard is how quiet and comfortable it is to type on. The Microsoft Wired Desktop 600 has a good keyboard layout with some useful keys and a mouse that does the job.Design of keyboard- Full size keyboard: 6 block (insert, delete, page up, page down, etc.) is spaced out fully, as well as the arrow keys.- There is a slight slope that spans horizontally on the shift key row.- Function keys are spaced out in 4 key groups. Ex. f1, f2, f3, f4 are grouped, followed by f5, f6, f7, f8Thoughts on the keyboard:- I like some of the extra keys on the keyboard, such as the play

I had been using a Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 for about 8 years. My wife borrowed my PC one day and told me my keyboard was worn out and I needed a new one.I had purchased the Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 because it was inexpensive... thinking I would upgrade in the near future - but, I never upgraded and ended using it for almost 8 years.So, I decided to replace it and started doing research on Wikipedia on keyboards and keyboard switches to refresh my understanding of the technology.I learned to touch-type on a Royal mechanical typewriter and also learned to type on electric typewriters.

Great keyboard for the price. Key feel is good. There are lights for the Cap Lock and Num Lock. The lights are all in the upper right-hand corner which is not ideal but acceptable. The unit is not as stable on the desk as it could be, but again it is acceptable. There are little legs that provide a slight tilt.I bought this keyboard after another 5 star keyboard that was more expensive went bad after just a few months of use. I am a fairly heavy user, so I will see how durable this unit is. I am writing this review after a few weeks of use, and so far I am pleased with my purchase.

I pound my desktop keyboards into oblivion. Letters wear off (not uncommon for anyone, really), keys have 50 mm fingernail grooves in them, and the physical attachment of the keys to the "stems" loosens and gets out of whack so that often I have to restrike the letter while I jiggle the Ctrl or Shift. I need to replace my keyboard once every 12-18 months.This one is a great value and is a regular sized keyboard. -Large- backspace key. Keys make an encouraging click. Key dip is nice (not like a laptop, where it's like typing on a chicklet keyboard). Good location for number keypad. Fcn keys. Ju

Nothing is better than a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard combo - due to the addition of the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center! I just hope they keep updating it since it seems Microsoft like to stop updating some of my favorites like WIN 10 !

This is exactly what I was looking for. Nothing fancy. Just a nice reliable keyboard. The only 'option' I needed was volume control and it has that. The description wasn't real clear at the time I bought it as to wether it included a mouse....it does. I like it. It looks great. It's quiet and easy to use. I'm not a huge computer nerd (though I would love to be) and this is great for me, and I see no reason why a nerd wouldn't love it too. Buy it!! It's amazing for the price.

I've used mine for 4 weeks so far - overall this is a very good, quiet keyboard with smooth key action. My one significant gripe is that the PF keys have inordinately high resistance requiring excess pressure to depress them. I use mine at work and use these keys frequently and can feel muscle/tendon soreness from this. I'll stick with it for a while longer to see if I can adjust.If you don't use the PF keys often this is a no-downside great keyboard.The buttons on the mouse are rather loud; I kept my old mouse in view of this.

I bought a new PC in 2011 and the keyboard went out so I looked for something to replace it.This Microsoft wired keyboard is fantastic. It has 2 nice keys that my wireless keyboard did not have and I find I really like them. I love the CAP light and the Calculator buttons. They really come in handy. This is a desktop PC so the wired keyboard isn't a problem. Now when I use my laptop I find I miss those 2 keys I've come to rely on. If you feel you don't want to use up your USB ports, by a USB extension, I did and it works great. My Mouse, Keyboard, Printer, & Passboard backup are all plugged in
