Keysonic USB UK QWERTY Layout Wired Keyboard

This is a lovely, stylish, truly quiet keyboard which is nice to type with

Very disappointed - only bought this keyboard on 17th Jan 2017 - keys sticking by 20th Feb 2017If that wasn't bad enough - I work on my keyboard 8 hours a day, and in 1 month have worn the letters off the A, Z, X, Y,J, K keys.Definitely a nice LOOKING keyboard - but has serious quality issues. Best avoided.Now I must go and buy yet another keyboard... :-(

It LOOKS beautiful. They keys and the main unit, as well as the leads, are a smart pure white and the surface of the keyboard (surrounding the keys) is pale, slightly greyish blue. The keys give a nice amount off resistance - enough that it's difficult to press them accidentally but not so much that it feels like using a type writer. They also produce a soft click so it's loud enough to know you've hit a key, but not so loud that your neighbours will be able to calculate your typing speed. The lights for num lock, caps lock and scroll lock could be a little brighter or clearer, but they're visible from most angles (which is an improvement on my last keyboard).However it loses points for me on two minor but nevertheless irritating issues:1. This keyboard does not have adjustable feet. It does sit at a slight incline, rather than flat to the desk, thanks to a ridge underneath the keyboard towards the back of the keyboard, but that isn't adjustable.2. The backslash and pipe key is in the wrong place (to the right of the right-hand Alt key, rather than to the left of the Z) and doesn't correctly map to the backspace and pipe characters (instead it seems to bring up the start menu; I'm running Windows 7). This would be particularly irritating for techie people (who need those keys a lot) but wouldn't bother your average user.Neither of these is a devastating problem and we'll probably buy another of these keyboards for my partner's computer, but it's worth being aware of those downfalls.

Summary: Quietness only lasts for weeks, then the keyboard becomes like any other. A few keys even become sticky (and not due to liquid spillage), just by themselves. Bad quality in my opinion.As another reviewer (who gave it 1 star) reports, after some use, some keys start to be "sticky", or basically have a hard time coming up after you press them; moreover, after a few weeks of use, it becomes like any other keyboard and has absolutely nothing, [nothing] related to quietness.I bought and owned this keyboard for a few months now, and would never buy it again, and do not recommend it at all. And at this price, with the quality I experienced, I consider it grossly overpriced. That was a waste of money. You've been warned.If someone really wants a recommendation instead of doing research themselves, I've also tried the following keyboard:Cherry eVolution STREAM Corded MultiMedia Keyboard BlackThe Cherry keyboard lasted for years with me, and I really loved it. As listed, it is ultra-thin; and it also remains much more silent than most popular keyboards and for much longer than this bad-quality Keysonic keyboard. Obviously I eventually had to replace the Cherry keyboard due to a few nuisances with keys, but I probably spilled little amounts of liquid on that one at some point anyway, and at least it lasted for years; unlike this Keysonic that lasted just months then became annoying.

Looks funky and is a lovely keyboard to type on if you're a fan of chiclet keys. Keypresses are a little heavier than an equivalent Apple keyboard, but that's no bad thing in terms of accuracy. The "F" and "J" key bumps are a little small so bear that in mind if you're a touch typist.However if you're a techie you're going to need a backslash key- there is one, between Right Alt and the Menu key, but by default under Windows it registers as the Right Windows Key.Easy to fix though- grab the excellent free utility "SharpKeys" and remap the key "Right Windows (E0_5C)" to "Unknown: 0x0056 (00_56)" (technically "International backslash"). Reboot and voila, a functioning backslash. Not in an intuitive place, but better than nothing.

This Keyboard is amazing. It's cheap and quality combined.The keystrokes are very close to being silent and everything is in the right place (no tiny backspace or other compromises).I recommend this keyboard.

first things first, the bigger keys looked ok in the picture, but the letters & numbers are NOT black, they are a light grey !! I have bad eyes, so I only used this keyboard for about four days . it does creak a little in use, the cable is about 152 cm, as for the round keys they are about 16 mm across, enter key is a little small, it seems an ok keyboard IF you can see light grey painted letters on white keys. I wanted to give this more stars than I have.

it's been good, not as quiet as promised but definitely more quiet than most of the keyboards.However it just started to malfunction. It's one key, the J. either it doesn't catch or it produces double letter. It's not awful but I am a translator and I need something reliable so I could maintain the fast writing flow. I am getting annoyed with having to get back to most of the words with J and correct them!Unfortunately I cannot ask for replacement apparently. How convenient
