Logitech K310
Just be sure to read the cleaning instructions on the bottom side of the keyboard. You're just supposed to rinse it off; you can't fully submerge it or put it in the dishwasher. They keyboard also has a cap to cover the USB connector, although you're not supposed to get the USB connector wet in the first place.
I almost immediately knocked a cup of coffee over onto it (something that isn't typically my style) and was able to rinse it off without any worries. Is is the best keyboard for everything? probably not, but it might be the best keyboard for me bumbling around in my dark office.
While this is not a gaming keyboard and any hardcore gamer might be better served elsewhere, I have successfully used the keyboard for gaming without issues. I can't say that there aren't problems that I haven't uncovered, but I have found no issues so far after many hours in Skyrim, Portal 2, Borderlands, or WRC 4.
Really the only minor issue I have found is that the middle of the keyboard is slightly flexy. If you're the kind of person who really hammers on the keys this might be annoying, but I don't even notice it in normal use. I think the middle could be reinforced by a motivated user to stiffen it.
Overall, I wouldn't wan't to pay a ton for it as it clearly isn't high end, but if you like the look and the idea of a washable keyboard it's worth checking it out.
It looks like a perfectly normal keyboard and I would say I prefer it over many more expensive ones I've purchased in the past.
I would definitely buy this again.
Nice mechanical movement on the keys, just the right amount of springiness. All keys are solidly clicking, some of the other Logitech keyboards I've used recently don't have a solid feel in the top right and left corners of the keyboards, this does not have the same issue.
Washability is nice too.
BEFORE this keyboard:
I used to have one of those flexible washable keyboards, and the problem was that I really had to punch the keys hard to get them to take. Even typing at a moderate speed resulted in a LOT of missed keys and double types. Additionally, the c key stopped working after a while. So while waiting to buy the Logitech keyboard, I used several different cheap keyboards to get me by.
NOW with this keyboard:
They keys on this keyboard compared to the flexible one I had are REALLY easy to type with, and though it is taking just a little time to get used to the change, it is much, MUCH better. I have also used several normal cheap keyboards since my flexible stopped working, and I like the way this types as good or better than the others, and add the washable factor to it and it is TOPS!
Things that I really like compared to many normal and flexible-washable keyboards:
The keys depress with just the right 'springy-ness'. I would also compare it to the loudness/quietness of a normal keyboard on the quiet side. If you get to typing fast it is louder, but slower typing is generally on the quiet-ish side.
The keys press anywhere... This is MUCH better than many flexible boards as they need to be pressed almost dead center or they don't trigger the key. This is a problem with the space bar as most people hit it to one side. This Logitech triggers smoothly even on the very corner of the spacebar and all the keys trigger even if you are hitting on the edge! SO nice!
The color... VERY nice. By-the-way... the white is a flat white, not a super glossy white, and the black is flat black. This makes the view so much easier on the eyes, and the flat white on flat black with flat black key-writing makes the keys stand out and so easy to find what you are looking for, even in dim light.
For those of you wondering (because I was wondering before getting it) the blue on the bottom can not be seen from the top or sides unless you are almost level with the desk surface and trying to see it. This is important if you like the sleek look of the keyboard, but don't care for the bright blue that probably would not match your office.
The key surface feels a little different than some keyboards because of the laser printed letters, but will be easy to get used to, and not as bad as some keyboards where they are all raised tall. I have only had the keyboard for a short time, but it really feels like the letters will last much longer than most. My flexible keyboard lost the most common letter printing in only weeks, so I am very happy that these will last.
The keyboard sits very flat to the desk if you do not have the legs open. The surface is flat at 1/2 inch tall, and the raised keys add another 1/4 inch. Just what I was looking for because I wanted something sleek and flat. WITH the legs raise in the back, the front sits at just above 1/4 inch, and the back is at just above 1 inch (then add 1/4 inch for the keys). After using it both flat, and raised, I will have a very hard time deciding which I like best. It looks smooth and sleek both ways. I prefer the flat when pecking and web surfing, but the raised seems a bit better if I was fast-typing a big document. (Just to note: I do have a jell wrist-rest, almost 1 inch tall in front of it, and the keyboard still works great flat or raised with it.)
Taking into consideration that I am used to cheap flexible keyboards and cheap normal keyboards, I do not think that this Logitech keyboard feels in any way 'cheap' like a few reviewers complained of. In fact, it feels MUCH higher quality than any of the cheap keyboards I have ever had in the past. The only thing I can think is maybe those other reviewers were comparing it to $100+ keyboards, and then it might feel cheap in comparison, but even then I think I would prefer this.
I waited for a sale before getting this keyb
