A cheaply-made, flimsy keyboard. This keyboard - although it is functional - is not worth the fifteen bucks. It's a 7 or 8 dollar keyboard that, because of its branding, is selling for double its worth. Microsoft hardware used to be consistently better than average. Not anymore.

Hello, world! I recently purchased this product after my old and dusty keyboard's S key stopped working. This is an excellent product and was delivered to my door early to my surprise. It was fairly inexpensive and although my monitor is fairly new, it still used the old PS/2 connectors for the mouse and keyboard. To avoid the extra costs of an adaptor, purchasing a PS/2 keyboard was my finest choice. The Microsoft Wired PS/2 Keyboard was evidently the perfect keyboard choice for me! Contrary to what many other reviewers say, my keyboard did not make much noise when it was in use. In fact, it was quiterer than my previous VAIO keyboard. The shortcut keys on the top of the keyboard, especially the Calculator option, are very useful for everyday computing. The first time I plugged in the keyboard, the shortcut keys were very slow, although the second or third time I pressed one of the shortcuts, it worked instantly. Some of the shortcuts were not compatible with my computer, although they may work with others. The keyboard was shipped in a standard medium-sized Amazon box, with air bags inside. All in all, the Microsoft Wired PS/2 Keyboard is the quintessential choice of keyboards for anyone looking for a PS/2 keyboard that is cheap but very efficient.

Very good keyboard - I like the buttons for fast access and the touch of the keys.
