Review on Keyboard Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 Black USB black by Wiktor Fokt ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No complaints, I recommend to buy.

Pretty good keyboard for the money, but nothing outstanding in it. Its pros: 1. Pretty cute, but at the same time quite strict appearance. 2. Standard, I would even say classic key layout without any frills. 3. There are additional keys for multimedia control (Play / Pause, Volume down, Volume up, Mute) and a calculator call key. 4. The media control keys are located quite conveniently. 5. Pretty small and compact compared to its bulky, sophisticated multimedia and gaming counterparts. 6. 2022 symbols are printed in blue, and English - in white, which helps to quickly navigate when frequently switching from one language to another. 7. Works immediately after connecting to a computer without requiring the installation of drivers (Plug and Play). 8. Comfortable wave design further enhances the comfort of typing. 9. Pleased with the presence of a digital block of keys. 10. There is nothing superfluous, only the most necessary! No frills, heaps and experiments. 11. Both Win keys, as well as the Caps Lock key, are embossed, making them easily and quickly recognizable by touch even blindly. 12. The Win key is located not only on the left side of the keyboard, but also on the right side, which is very convenient for left-handers. 13. Left Shift and Backspace key are long, not short, as some manufacturers like to do. 14. The keyboard is protected from water and other liquids, according to the manufacturer. Though personally I wouldn't check it :) 15. Relatively quiet, but not quiet enough to quickly type at night when someone is sleeping next to you. 16. The keyboard itself is very light. Easily and effortlessly lifts with one hand. 17. The function keys (F1-F12) are divided into three groups (F1-F4, F5-F8 and F9-F12). This is more convenient than when all these keys are combined together. Has some cons: 1. When you extend the rear legs, the keyboard begins to slide more on the table than when the legs are retracted. Although in this state (when the legs are retracted) it is extremely inconvenient to use it. And all because when folded, the keyboard on the table is kept from slipping by four rubber inserts, but when unfolded, there are only two. I have, if anything, a wooden varnished computer desk. 2. The buttons are a little wobbly. 3. Stickers applied to the keyboard at the factory. Laser engraving would be much better. 4. Over time, dust, hair, crumbs and other debris inevitably get into the keyboard. As far as I know, there is no such trouble with Apple keyboards due to the lack of gaps between the keys. 5. Those keys that you press very often and for a long time lose their original light roughness and become glossy to the touch. 6. Our publishers for some reason translated the Enter key by writing "Enter" on it (on the numeric keypad too). At the same time, all other keys, thank God, were left without translation. But these are claims not to Microsoft itself, but to our publishers. 7. Wired. 8. A narrow row of upper keys (Esc, F1-F12, PrtScn, ScrLk, Pause), which will take some getting used to. 9. Lack of indication of Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock on the buttons themselves. Still, it is more convenient than a separate socket with the corresponding LEDs. 10. Weak tactility of the F, J and 5 keys (on the numeric keypad). 11. There is no backlighting of the keys, which would be very useful at night.
