Review on πŸ’» Dell Wired Keyboard - Black KB216 (580-ADMT): Enhanced Typing Experience by Fred Boals

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Something in between a laptop and a traditional branded PC keyboard

I think a few other user reviews said this keyboard looks like a laptop keyboard. I do not agree. Travel is noticeably deeper than a typical laptop keyboard and noticeably firmer than a regular laptop keyboard. It slows down my typing and makes it less comfortable to use all day because it puts more stress on my fingers. I compare the feel to the Lenovo X1 Carbon and HP EliteBook G3, which I use regularly. This keyboard is too heavy for me. The buttons themselves are also a bit small. It's not a problem, but it does take a minute or two to get used to. On the plus side, it's relatively quiet. Not in a whisper, but at least the person on the other side of the conference call shouldn't complain about your click. The layout is decent too. I have to use the function key to press Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Pause Break. This is unusual for a keyboard of this size and layout.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Weight
