## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Impressed! - For just over £10 I wasn't expecting to much, but thought it would be better than a £5 one I bought in a high street retailer (that lasted less than a week before the keys started to fail). As I bought this to replace an older very sturdy built ps/2 keyboard, I wasn't sure how the MS 600 would compare, but so far after a few weeks of use I am still impressed. It is very smooth, quiet and easy to use. There are a few multimedia keys which work fine, but I don't use them much. I'm running Win7 64bit and it was a simple plug in and allow auto driver install to run the first time. I could still use my ps/2 keyboard if I wanted to keep it connected, but once I had disconnected the old keyboard it required a reboot to allow it to be used in the future, just a Windows driver thing, not an problem. The only slight issue is a small but important size difference, this keyboard is very slightly smaller than my old one, so as I touch type most of the time I have had to just slightly adjust to the angle on a couple of keys, but no major problems. The feel of the keys is much lighter and I can type with much less pressure and as a result appear to be a little faster than before, This keyboard is also at least 50% quieter than my old keyboard that had a distinct click on each keystroke as well as more pressure required on each key - there is a click with this keyboard, and there is a positive feel to the contact with the keys, it is just quieter. In summary, a very good general use keyboard, with a nice feel. Good value for the price and I will add more to this review when I have used it for several months.
Review: Excellent value for money. - I got this on desertcart for £9.99. For the money, its an absolute steal. The build quality is significantly better than my old Logitech (MK270 at £24.99) in a few ways: first, everything is built solidly meaning the keys don't rattle at all. On my Logitech if I shook the keyboard, you'd hear the keys jiggle around. This Microsoft 600 Keyboard doesn't do that. Second, the overall design seems to have not much cost cutting, the bottom of the device is solid plastic unlike the Logitech which had flimsy plastic and tons of cutout holes. And finally, the Microsoft keyboard has large rubber feet molded into the bottom of the keyboard (not just glued-on rubber pads that eventually come off). The only flaw in the keyboard so far is the raisers don't have rubber grips, so while the keyboard grips decently to the desk, the raisers are a bit slidey. This is not a mechanical keyboard, it is just a membrane one - so don't expect the best typing experience ever known, but if you are used to membrane keyboards like I am, then this is just more of the same. Function keys are small, so that may take some getting used to. The media controls are a nice addition too. And the keyboard also has SCRL/CAPS/NUM lock LED indicators. The top right of the keyboard has a nice shiny Microsoft logo (I think painted/printed on - maybe it will wear down over time). I got the "White" variant, and while the pictures show a more greyish tone; they are deceiving. The keyboard really is white. While I was hoping for it to be greyish, I'm actually happy with the white. Its really nice and clean looking and blends nicely into my white desk. The wire and USB plug are also white. The keyboard is just plug in and go. Windows instantly recognizes it and it's working within a couple of seconds. Overall, this is a very affordable keyboard and is surprisingly high quality. I imagine this keyboard will be durable and hopefully it will last many many years. [I'll update this review if it breaks.]

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this a uk layout?**
A: Yes this is a normal layout, with extra keys for play/pause and volume. Also calculator button. Good key travel and stays clean!!

**Q: can you remove the keys from the keyboard for cleaning?**
A: Why yes you can! if you remove the screws from the bottom the whole top part of the keyboard lifts off. I then cleaned it with hot water in the kitchen sink and rinsed it when complete. Once cleaned, I polished the keyboard and reassembled. After owning for 3 years I now have what feels like a brand new keyboard all over again.

**Q: Is it USB connected**
A: Hi Brian,Yes it is USB with a wired connection.Hope this helps.

**Q: is this keyboard quiet when typing?**
A: yes they are quiet and the space bar is only a slight click.  Very pleased with mine it does everything.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than most.
*by S***N on 9 October 2010*

I'm quite pleased with this keyboard. My reason for purchasing had nothing to do with it being white - though I must admit to being please with its appearance. The keyboard is much quieter than most, which is a pleasant change, though it isn't as quiet as I'd like. The layout is better than most. It has a nice wide shift key on the right-hand side, though the one on the left is small. Still, compared to most today, it's a step up. The only function keys (beyond the Esc, F1 - F12, PrtScn, ScrLck, Pause keys) are sound control and the unique calculator keys. For me, this is perfect, as I've never had use for a host of extra keys on the keyboard. I find them extraneous, serving only to get in the way of finding the ones I really want. The key throw (distance a key must move to make contact) is short. I'm a fast typist, so this is excellent for me. The touch is harder than I'd like, and also not as definitive, so there isn't a distinct feedback telling my fingers that a connection has been made. It isn't bad, but a lighter and more distinct touch would be better for high-speed typing. (At least, for me - this could vary for others.) It looks like the symbols and text on the keys is deeply imprinted. Though I haven't had it long enough to be certain, most keyboards' printing starts to fade on the most commonly-hit keys by now. This keyboard has a tail, but it's the longest one I've seen, so has not been inconvenient. Had I known this quality existed in a keyboard with an adequately-long tail, I wouldn't had purchased any of the boards I've had over the last five years - all of which either gradually went bad or didn't function well from the beginning (with one exception that was killed by a spill). Not included in the description - and a reason that almost kept me from buying it - is that the keyboard has legs that flip out so it tilts nicely. It doesn't have to lie flat on the table. For the price, this is an exceptional purchase. The quality is at least as good as most I've dealt with in the last few years - though I don't purchase top-of-the-line boards, that is, ones that cost more than £50. However, this one is much better than any of the £20-30 products I've gotten in several years. I'm quite happy with it - but can't give it a full five stars because it just doesn't have the feel that would make the keyboard an extension of my fingers. (I have, though, tried to describe it in a way that isn't prejudicial, since it might be the cat's meow for someone else.)
