 Good layout and very durable December 1, 2008
The great layout for playing games (I use the up, down, right, left buttons to move along with the nine buttons above, the nine button keypad to the right and can also use the R Ctrl, Shift, Enter and windows menu key for a total of 23 different buttons within easy reach of my left hand to change weapons, etc) and the steel back makes a very durable keyboard as I tend to drop it, step on it, or spill stuff on it. It does not have the best key action in the world but for $15 its great. I'm ordering two more right now. That's why I came to this page to look at them at ended up writing this review.
Cheap and water proof so far. November 26, 2008
I just ran into a receipt showing I've owned one of these keyboards for two years.
This is close to a record for me - I buy my keyboards in 6-packs. I either destroy them in FPS gaming or coffee spills.
It's a very standard mushy keyboard feel - not fancy laptop keyboard action or old IBM metal springs.
 Great keyboard--feels like original IBM PC July 14, 2008
I just got this keyboard, and I already love it. It has the same satisfying 'clickiness' of the original IBM PC keyboard. The only negative is the size of the backspace key--it's not oversize as it is on many newer keyboards. But that's not a problem for me, as I am used to a smaller backspace.
This keyboard has the 'Wake Up', 'Sleep', and 'Power' keys that most Vista-capable computers support. I particularly like being able to shut the system down with a keypress--I haven't been able to do that since my Mac days back in the late '80s!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this keyboard, particularly for someone who wants the essentials, without all the 'media keys' and other junk that seem to be found on most keyboards today.
Great keyboard for the money July 6, 2008
Kensington make a great little keyboard for the money here. Spillproof, sealed membrane top and plus it has the "Sleep", "Power Off", and "Wake-Up" keys on it. We use it on a heavily used house computer which has 4 different users on it and it is holding up well.
I personally use a KeyTronic Lifetime Series keyboard since my skin chemistry is very hard on the lettering on the keys, causing the stenciled letters to wear off quickly. I have had the KeyTronic for 5 years of everyday use and it is a workhorse of a keyboard. However it is twice as much as this Kensington.
I recommend this Kensington for an inexpensive replacement, plus it matches the rest of the "house computer" which is an all black setup.
 Mixed results and quality June 16, 2008
I wanted a basic USB keyboard. This largely fits the bill except that Kensington felt the need to put an extra row of buttons above the arrows. I constantly run afoul of this in the month or so of use I've had. The formerly 6 keys above the arrows get shoved down and the keys from the function key row drop down where "Insert" used to start to total 9 keys. I hit the scroll lock when I mean to go "Home" and alert my KVM device inadvertently. It must be that I am an old dog. But it's not like the space contstraints of a laptop keyboard, or that the new buttons, "wake up" "sleep" and "power" were missing from my life. One person's value-added is another's pain.
As long as the word "value" has came up, I am chagrined that the keyboard for life has the paint coming off the keys already. I do not have long nails or solvent-laced finger tips so I suspect the quality. Define what is meant by "keyboard for life" - I hope there's no forshadowing in the key labeling fading away so soon.
