Logitech K310
THE WASHABILITY FEATURE SEEMS UNIQUE TO THIS KEYBOARD.
Regarding the washability factor, that wasn't really the feature that attracted me, but that's a bonus since my keyboards tend to get pretty filthy just with environmental dust. I plan on washing this in the near future and seeing how that works. Meanwhile, I've heard that plain old USB keyboards of any variety can actually be washed in a dishwasher - just has to be dried out thoroughly afterwards - so this keyboard may not have quite the edge it advertises, although it's nice to have the security of putting it in water knowing it was actually designed for that. I would think that also protects it from condensation, liquid spills, and other hazards of office life.
My only qualm is that it's a bit on the expensive side, but I have to say I'm glad I bought it, I think it's definitely worth the money - and Amazon prices are very competitive - less expensive than any local stores.
This part won't be of interest to most people, but it was very easy to pop out and rearrange the keys to the dvorak layout (the keyboard layout I use). A slight modification had to be made to the F, J, U, and H keys to make them fit in their respective spots (most keyboards I have seen are designed so that the F and J keys cannot be put back in the wrong place), but it was fairly easy to do (just required scratching off a bit of plastic on the back).
I can achieve about 90 WPM on this keyboard, and my average is currently about 80 WPM (according to 10fastfingers.com).
~No extra frills (no crazy media or dozens of function keys for me to accidentally hit)
~Its a full size keyboard with a small footprint
~White keys with black lettering make seeing them much easier and the lettering doesn't fade or rub off.
~No more crumbs or dirt or hair or anything falling behind keys.. ever! The keyboard has no little areas where leftovers can hide due to the design of the raised keys. (why did no one think of this sooner!?)
~Super easy to just rinse off.. dry.. and bam you got a new keyboard.
I liked it so much I bought two more as backups because I can't find another keyboard like it. For this price... you can't beat it. Hell you can't beat it for double its price!
I play pc games in my free time and this keyboard fills my needs just fine as I don't need some super expensive led screen or mechanical keyboard for it to work perfectly fine. Only mine will last a LOT longer and be much cleaner! No longer will I have to stop playing my games because I am trying to eat some leftover ribs on a Saturday morning! No more will I have to bring a handful of wet-naps with me when trying to eat wings! No sir! We will play on!!
great in environment where washability is an issue
at 15$ on sale it would be rude to complain
white on black is an odd color choice(hackintosh backward world)
I wish Mac compatablility was easier to document, given its function key shortcuts, but not a big issue
Logitech quality remains consistent and high
No more being ashamed of my filthy-even-after-I-cleaned-it-as-well-as-I-could keyboard in front of colleagues and clients!
The touch or keyboard action isn't the best I've ever had, but it's perfectly acceptable, especially since it doesn't embarrass me any more.
There are a couple reasons I love this thing:
- Washable; Obviously, a huge selling factor. I no longer have to use a disgusting keyboard anymore.
- Button Presses; When you press a button, it sounds and feels really, really good. Probably better than any keyboard I've ever used.
- Perfect Layout; I personally love this keyboard layout and I don't buy keyboards without it. No extra unnecessary buttons.
- Colors; The contrasting white and black keys look nice and makes things easy to see.
I love this thing so much that I almost want to buy another for when (or if) it eventually breaks down the road. I hope that Logitech doesn't ever stop selling it.
The sleep key (function + F12) didn't seem to work as I had hoped at first, but then I found the function key to the right of the spacebar - there's only one, not two. The other F keys work just fine, too (turn up the sound, or down, all those).
The key action is excellent. I find that I make fewer typos for some reason. The sound of the keystrokes is quieter than my other board, and the space bar no longer requires a harder stroke from my thumb than the other keys.
It's a narrow width, which could account for the greater accuracy, but it also gives me better desk space.
This is an excellent keyboard, and the price is right. I am glad I bought it, and I do recommend it.
So, I was looking for a good, wired keyboard and I found this one and thought for the price and given that it is washable, I would try it. What a surprise to find that it has that good ole soft click feel that I like.
My wife liked it so much, I had to order another one for the computer she shares with my kids.
We will see how long it lasts but I'm happy with this keyboard, which I use everyday as a remote worker who is a software developer. Recommended if you want a good, wired, and affordable keyboard.
