This product is soooo great for the price! I haven't tried cleaning it yet, but I haven't had too. I really liked the color. I use it for gaming, and it is pretty good compared to some $100+ keyboards. I RECOMMEND!
I bought this keyboard to try because it was deeply discounted. While the key feel is a little different from a typical mechanical keyboard, the key travel is more than a typical laptop or laptop style desktop keyboard. I actually kind of like the feel, as it has a bit more of the clicky tactile sense than many chiclet style keyboards.
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.
I was worried that a washable keyboard would have a bad key spring back but this one is excellent. The keys have a very responsive click and nice feel.
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.
I got this because I was tired of dirt building up under the keys and eventually ruining the keyboard. This keyboard is excellent, it's put together in a way that it is virtually impossible to build up dust and grime beneath the keys and you can literally just turn it upside down and shake it to clean it. Very clean and lasts longer because of it.
I ordered this not sure whether or not it would work with W8 because I didn't see anyone mention it in their reviews. I am here to say, it definitely does. I have only had this keyboard for a few days, and I am already going to purchase another one for work. It's not because it's washable that make this keyboard awesome, it's the feel of it. It's got that old school vibe mixed with a new school feel. It's hard to explain, but in a world where keyboards are getting smaller and the keys are getting flatter, this is almost a through back and it's awesome.
This is a good keyboard that is easily cleaned and resistant to drops on to the floor. Although I like it, I would think that those that type a great deal might find this style of keyboard to work less well than some others. I find my own typing is slowed by it, given its short keystroke and small layout. Just an opinion...
I am one of those people who eats and drinks while working on the computer. I have had my share of spills and as such have had to replace quite a few keyboards. I was delighted to find out that this product actually works. Easy to clean and comfortable to type on. Love it!
I can't really say why I think this keyboard is amazing, but I do. I had a great keyboard {made by Alienware} that my husband then stole when his keyboard broke. So I got this new one. I LOVE the buttons, I LOVE the spacing of them. They click perfectly. I like that they are white buttons with black type - this makes it much easier to see at nighttime with just my computer screen for light {since my husband is a vampire and requires the lights to be off} I never want to buy another keyboard other than this brand/model. Seriously, it's the best. Even my husband tried it and wanted one for himself :)
It's the best keyboard I've ever owned. Never again will I have to tear a keyboard apart just to clean it. It's about time someone designed a keyboard like this. The only thing they need to do now is create one that is solar powered and quieter. If they added such features, it would be the last keyboard I'll ever have to buy. But I liked this product so much that I created this review within minutes of receiving it. This review was created using the product. Typically, I don't like clickety-clackety keyboards, but for this, I'll make an exception.
Quite possibly the nicest keyboard I've used in a while.
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.
This is a pretty great keyboard. The ability to wash it is amazing. Have already hosed it down in the kitchen sink a couple times. It's a little clicky sounding but most keyboards are.
Nice keys, sturdy and it looks good. Haven't washed it yet (Day 1 still) but really like the product! I didn't buy it for quiet keys but they are not loud at all. The quietest I can type still makes a little noise.
Summary: I LOVE it. I would happily pay full price for it (which is really saying something in my case). And it is about 10 times (or more) better than the flexible-washable keyboards.
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
Just what my father needed! a comfortable keyboard that can be washed. We go through a few keyboards each year due to my family who likes to eat at the computer desk as the keyboard can get messy and the keys get sticky. Finally that problem is solved. A keyboard that can be washed and has special key designs that wont allow crumbs and dust to go in between the keys. If only this keyboard was wireless, it would be PERFECT. But I am still very pleased with this product.
I have used this keyboard for a few months now and I can say I'm very satisfied. It will take you sometime to adapt to the more cramped layout and the separated keys, but if you keep using it your brain will pick-up the new distances and typing will be as easy as it is with other more conventional keyboards. You can also really put it on the sink and wash it without a problem, there is no gimmick on Logitech's claim that it is fully washable
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.
Great keyboard i love the fact you can just take it to the since and rinse it off. Only draw back is the instructions say you have to wait 24 hours before plugging it back in to be safe
After burning out 3 Mac keyboards due to small water spills (yes, I'm like a 5 year old), I opted for this waterproof keyboard.
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.
I love this keyboard! Key have perfect tactile response and the function keys are well integrated and work perfectly. Fits perfectly on my small desk and fades into the background well. Haven't tried washing it yet; I'll let you know when that happens.
2 year update: Still working great - easy to wash clean under a running sink. Very happy!
