Review on HP Pavilion Wireless Keyboard 600: A Highly Efficient 4Ce98Aa#Abl Solution by Leslie Smith

Worst keyboard for a programmer

First of all I LOVE the soft click. That's why I bought it in the first place. I don't like the loud clicking of most keyboards. Also, I have to say that this keyboard has some of the dumbest design decisions ever made on a keyboard. I read about the fn lock issue but figured it wasn't a big deal as my bios can flip the fn keys. NO! OK. As a programmer, I use function keys all the time. And the only multimedia keys I ever use are volume keys. So AutoHotKeys comes to the rescue to exchange keys. Just not F7 and F8. I can't do anything with the brightness. Another brilliant person elsewhere just taped the Fn key. Problem solved! NO! Who in their right mind maps the Fn key to the right Shift key to pause. Have you ever tried typing your password with one of those special keys like the exclamation point without the right shift key? STUPID STUPID STUPID. Oh yeah I tried disabling the pause in AutoHotkeys because I never use them, but you know what? AutoHotKeys not working on the lock screen. What a comedy of really dumb design choices. Quiet clicking aside, this is the WORST KEYBOARD. waste of money. If you like flipping things without being able to change them, do it, but be careful buyers. Don't lock Fn at all. None of the tricks work. Now I have to spend MORE money for a decent keyboard. Pooh.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Not everything fits
