Logitech K310
The keyboard is pretty utilitarian, plain industrial design at it best without too may bells and whistles -or better yet, no bells and whistles whatsoever- A set of white plastic keys over a black plastic slate, a few extra-functions controlled via the F button, and that's it. Nothing fancy, nothing extraordinary. But this is where the beauty of this product resides, pretty simple to use and clean. Keys feel good to the touch, not too firm, not too mushy. The only complain I have is the space key that's fitted a bit loose and does makes a tilting sound when pressed. This is strange as the other keys are quiet and it does take away some of the nice typing that other keys can deliver, but it is not a deal breaker that will keep you away from a good typing experience
Just keep just expectations according to price, this an under 30 bucks keyboard with a premium for being able to wash it under water, it is cheap, materials look nice but you can tell they are cheap and again, this is a very plain and very simple keyboard. If you were expecting a Ferrari at Tata prices, you are out of luck my friend, go and pay +$50 for a very nice keyboard, there are many around. Just don't skew the reviews with one star because you paid less than $30 and actually got a less than $30 product, it is a matter of price-value relationship, you get what you pay for.
Holy crap, I should have ordered this thing a long time ago! Not only do I LOVE how it types, but I also LOVE that I can clean the damn thing without worrying about burning out a key. I mean, think about how dirty our keyboards actually get... Ok, actually, don't think about it... it's pretty disgusting.
I should also note, I spilled water all over my desk the other day and it didn't hurt a thing.
MUST. HAVE.
2 year update: Still working great - easy to wash clean under a running sink. Very happy!
The good: quiet, good size, low profile, nice quality, comes with a small brush (attached to the bottom) to get ride of dust or other residue under or between the keys. The keys are elevated to allow for easier cleaning, which is nice--no need to tediously pull them off. Keys don't give a lot of feedback and come down very softly compared to some other keyboards.
The bad: would be better it had feet that were adjustable to allow for more a ergonomic typing position.
Washable feature not yet tested, will update review once I do--please note that there are very specific washing instructions included with the keyboard, so read them first before you start dunking it in the sink!.
We get to our new desk and the first thing we see is how gross the keyboard is!!! There is something growing on the S key and you are not too sure what it could be! Will you get pregnant if you touch it???
Some of us opt to spray Lysol over the perpetrator. Some of us grab a Clorox wipe and frenetically rub the keys, the edges, DIE BACTERIA. DIE. A minority of us.... go to greater lengths... some of us... put the keyboard apart, pulling out every key to give each one an individualized deep cleaning. But this approach has a counter effect in our soul, we get to see what has been sleeping under those keys for who knows how long! We see: dried skin, hairs (straight and kinky ones), unidentified mucous, crumbles, dried good small pieces, IS THAT BLOOD??, dandruff, an earring, and many other yucky wonders.
We sure need to be exposed to the wild to develop a strong immune system, however, there is a psychological positive effect that good hygiene and cleanliness brings to the employee: sense of relief, comfort, satisfaction and efficiency. Would you rather stay at a dirty hotel room for 1 week with a smelly mattress or spend 3 months in a pristine room that seems to have been cleaned by a surgical team?? Most will opt for the last option.
Here enters the Logitech Washable Keyboard K310 for Windows PCs. It is a dirty hotel room that you can actually wash and thoroughly clean - transforming it into that pristine utopia of good smells and clean.
I want every employer in America that hands those equipment to employees to consider investing on something like this. For the People. For the The Children.
Even if you're not a coffee and soda spilling spouse, dust, hair, and all kinds of crud gets in a keyboard and can't be cleaned....until now.
Keyboards are supposed to be one of the filthiest places in your home -- so washable seems like a great idea!
PROS:
- Good key feel and spacing.
- Nice appearance.
- Washable.
- White keys with dark letters on them are very easy to see (if you need to look).
CONS:
- Not as quiet when typing as I would like.
Unfortunately, I haven't washed it yet.
Pros: This keyboard is boss, I'm not even beginning to talk about feel, I'm talking about appearance. The white on black looks good, although my keyboard is more of a really dark grey, both the board and lettering, but no complaint here, I don't care. The main selling point is obviously the wash-ability, pair that with apparently decent lifetime and this thing could essentially last forever as long as you don't let it get gross like an old person's watch (I work on watches part time). So what we have is a baller looking keyboard and wash-ability to boot, which makes it a pretty sweet deal. Now on to the feel. Here's where it gets tricky because I'm typing with it now. The keyboard feels good, the keys are spaced pretty well and the press is nice and... well there's no real way to describe it. It's kind of a smooth mechanical feel, it's like playing with a quieter version of those toy keyboards that you can sometimes find at yard sales, but that's not meant in a bad way, for some reason I like it, and it doesn't make annoying clickity clacky sounds, it makes phone-key amount of noises... back when people had phones with buttons... I give up you can't describe it, but it's a nice feel I reassure you, not mushy at all they keys are hard, but smooth and put up just enough resistance so you don't accidentally press keys.
Cons: Ignore the last sentence of the Pros because I keep pressing the wrong keys. Specifically the f12 and caps lock when trying to use backspace and shift, respectively. I love the keyboard, but I make mistakes, and since I've been using straight laptop keyboards for the last 7 months I make a bunch of mistakes, I keep opening up chrome's damn html editor thing, stupid f12. Now, I'm sure this gets better the more you use it, so lets move on from this topic that's not so much a con as me only using the keyboard for 40 minutes so far and whining about something I'm not used to yet.
Big con, don't fall for quill.com's $20 off crap, I did and checked my bank and they charged me double so I yelled at them until they fixed it. And I would have left that out of the review since their Customer Support was helpful, but their shipping was garbage and I wish I could show you the packaging because you'd laugh so hard cool-aid would come out of your nose and you'd drop your delicious pop-tart on your non-water-resistant keyboard because you spent all your time reading my long review rather than just buying the keyboard. Long story short the box that you typically buy the keyboard in, you know, it shows the keyboard and has all the stats and stuff, well that s*** arrived via UPS with a piece of cardboard taped to the outside containing the tracking info... really guys? You ship the damn box showing exactly what's inside for any troll or thief to mess with and you just tape a piece of a box to the outside thinking it's good enough . Well I'd complain to UPS or quill but honestly the keyboard works and as long as the credit for the double-charge shows up in my bank account I couldn't care if they'd mailed me the keyboard half-stuffed into a roast turkey.
So that's my review. It's worth the $22 I ended up spending on it, I'll probably clean it once a decade or something just to look like I'm not a slob. The typing seems better now that I've written a novel as a review, I mean I'm seriously a pro at typing now because this review is so long. But seriously it feels great and tricks you into thinking you're typing faster when your WPM drops by 3, not a complaint, I'm actually going to say that's a pro, I feel like Sonic, or the flash typing, but I'd definitely get this if I were you. It looks pro, it feels nice, it it weren't for my enormous tree-hands I wouldn't have trouble over stretching the backspace key and hitting f11 and f12 as much as I do, but I'm sure you gu
The only issue I have noticed so far has been covered by other reviewers: the space between the A and Caps Lock is smaller than most keyboards I am used to, so I have inadvertently turned on all Caps a couple times today.
It works fine when connected to the hub part. BTW it cost me only half as much as the lowest price in India. On a single PC it would be just perfect.
