Logitech K310 920-004033 Wired Washable Keyboard Black/White

Pros: You can clean this thing with your sink. If you’ve ever bothered to notice what builds up in your keyboard… Well, let’s just say it’s amazing a product like this didn’t come along sooner. The aesthetic is pretty nice and my typing experience is comfortable. The visable surfaces are matte white and what I’d describe as a matte charcoal black/very dark gray. The keys are clickier than I expected. Though I doubt hardcore mechanical switch enthusiasts would approve of it, it’s still far clickier than a regular laptop keyboard. The keys are all slightly concave except for the bottom and top row which are slightly convex. I’m pretty happy about this, as I’ve never liked the completely flat style chiclet keys found on a lot of newer laptops and such – I like having at least a little bit of concavity. In any case my last keyboard was building up grime in places that were impossible to clean, so I’m pretty happy with this so far. Cons: The included cleaning brush slides a bit too freely when snapped into its holder. I think making the bottom a bright blue is kind of questionable, but fortunately you can’t really see that part of the keyboard. Overall Review: The bottom right of the last row to the right of the space bar has a second alt, an fn key that overloads your f-keys for volume controls and such like a laptop, and a control key. There is no menu key. So if that matters (it possibly does on Windows 8, and it can improve keyboard control of GUIs in some Linux DEs), you’ll probably have to figure out a way of rebinding right-alt to menu or something.

Pros: I’ve never been particular about keyboards, but when my Wife and I saw this at Office Depot we fell in love with it. We passed on it but purchased it at Best Buy and we both love it. You very softly tap the keys and the spacing is perfect. not noticeable to me, but it feels more natural than tightly cramped keys. also agree with those saying their typing speed has improved because this Keyboard is so great. The biggest selling point for us was the fact that it won’t get caked up with grime and everything else that comes along with the territory. Washable but since it’s new i only need to use my spray and a good shake. Cons: none. Overall Review: plug and play. this is a usb keyboard.

Pros: – Plug-n-Play with no junk software required. – Standard keyboard layout, with bonus media keys (via an FN modifier key similar to most notebooks). – Very compact in size (and thin), at the same time the keys have extra spacing (may or may not be preferable to some folks, but I’m liking it after getting used to it a bit). – Very visible print on white keys, even under a bright lcd monitor in low room light (my eyes don’t have to adjust when look down to quickly press the right key in a game, for example). It’s like a cross between backlighting and a “Keys-U-See” keyboard. – The keys actually have a great feel to them. I find typing on this keyboard to be better than on my previous old Logitech G15. Cons: – The keyboard cord is white, I guess to match the look of the keys, but I think it should have been black to be less noticeable. – The cord is average length. – The extra key spacing takes just a little bit getting used to (but it’s worth it). Overall Review: I had a very hard time settling on a new keyboard. For the somewhat decent price, this Logitech had everything I was looking for (see Pros section). If you’re looking for a very decent keyboard — “washable” or not — this is a *great* choice for the money!
