Amazon Basics Wired Keyboard and Mouse Bundle, Full-Sized, QWERTY Layout, Black

Wow, this keyboard is smooth and quiet! It's a replacement for a cheaper Logitech keyboard (MK200) and wanted to see how well the Amazon Basics holds up. Sure enough, I'm impressed! They keyboard is quiet, typing is smooth. The clicking on the mouse is silent! Sounds like a light 'thud' when using it. Same for the scroll wheel, nice and quiet! It feels nice in my hands and it's nearly flat on my desk. No lag at all since it's a wired connection (something I get often from Logitech keyboards prior) and it's super easy to use! Just plug and play right out of the box! Functionality is a plus with buttons dedicated to the File Explorer (button with monitor icon) and Media Player (button with music note icon.) Overall, it serves my needs perfectly. 5 stars across the board for the price!

Excellent keyboard, totally recommend it for my Macbook Pro, and here's why... So I spilled some coffee (just a little) on my Macbook Pro keyboard and the Command key died... its an older computer so I decided I'm just gonna let it be broken and get a replacement keyboard to use (and yes, I have learned my lesson!). Tried a couple of $20-30 bluetooth keyboards by 2 different makers, both purchased on Amazon, and both suck for different reasons. In my research I found Amazon Basics, their line of products that they, as no surprise, closely monitor reviews and ratings on Amazon.com and make product improvements based on those reviews. And the 3 Amazon Basics products I've used so far have all been superior quality to all other unknown brands. I just love this keyboard! Its well made, the keys feel great and it looks good (high gloss black body, matte black keys). Comes with a mouse too, which I though I just throw out, but I tried it out and to be honest after using an Apple trackpad for a few years, its a joy to use a mouse again :). The mouse is nice too, matte black, very light weight, simple. It's a Windows keyboard, so you'll have to re-map the command key and options keys, just use an app like Karabiner, 5 min fix. The only minor gripe I have with the keyboard is there's no Windows/alt/control key mirror to the right of the keyboard, instead there's a alt, right-click glyph tagged button, function key and control key (in that order). That strange right-click key is not recognized by Mac, so it can't be remapped with the app I'm using. So be warned if you must have an identical set up as a mac keyboard on the right, it ain't gonna happen. Even still... For the price to quality ratio, definitely 5 stars. It would be great to have a Mac version of this keyboard, so Amazon if you're listening, you've got my vote to make one :)

I was actually about to do I big mistake buying a Magic Mouse and an Apple Bluetooth keyboard for 100 dollars, so i finally decided to find an alternative affordable solution to get my mac mini a mouse and a keyboard i can work with. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and my experience with it was very positive : It is very quiet, comfortable to use, has a slim layout with all of the standard PC keyboard keys, and overall works fine. It's a really great deal and I have yet to run into any problems with the keyboards. If you go in any other retailer i'm pretty sur you will not find a price as low as this one. The only thing to keep in mind is that this keyboard is (of course) not optimized for mac, however, being a basic USB keyboard with no extra functionality, i had no compatibility problems with my computer running Linux. The mouse is simple but i really do love the soft skin touch, which is much better that my old DELL ex-mouse. Amazon did surprise me on this one ! I honestly don't regret this choice as i don't see any reason i should have spent more than 15 dollars for a keyboard or a mouse. Unless you have some specific need such as gaming or designing, this keyboard and mouse are a good deal !

Keyboard works fine. But the mouse scroll wheel started squeaking. And eventually the mouse's right click stopped working and we needed to replace the mouse.

I’ve had those wireless keyboards that the batteries go out on and I’ve had the wired keyboards that have no batteries. I really like this keyboard because it looks sleek and it’s easy to work off of. The mouse is even cool. I really like it.

The mouse and keyboard work very well. Prior to this I received a Logitech MK270. It didn't work and I returned it and ordered this combo and I couldn't be happier!

great for the price

I needed another keyboard and mouse after purchasing a refurbished Dell Optiplex 960 from Amazon for general home use. As a rule, refurbs aren't sold with monitor, keyboard or mouse. After 5 months, I've decided it is a 4-star keyboard and a 2-star mouse. KEYBOARD LIKES: * Feel & touch of keys: The keys have a nice touch to them, with low "stickyness" and just the right amount of resistance. * "Plate-style" case: the keys are placed in individual slots on the keyboard, which prevents dust from getting between the keys. KEYBOARD DISLIKES: * The shortcut keys (music player, volume up/dn, calculator) are too close to the keyboard and 10-key. I have accidentally brought up the music player and calculator so many times I ended up super-gluing their shortcut keys in place. * The Function keys are spaced evenly instead of groupings of 4 (F1-F4, F5-F8, F9-F12) and placed too close to the top row. * The shortcut keys I would use most (play, stop, next track, last track) are combined with Function keys F9-F12, which is not so convenient. With the music and calculator keys glued in place, the nice touch of the keys is what stands out most. It is a very good value. MOUSE LIKES: * The left and right clicks have a nice feel, as does the wheel. The clicks are more sensitive than with other mice I've used. * The satin finish looks good and feels nice to the touch. MOUSE DISLIKES * I am constantly right-clicking by accident, interrupting mouse control or invoking commands I had not intended. It is so annoying that it drove me to write this review. In 25 years of PC's I have never had this much trouble with a mouse. I'm not certain why the right-clicks are so hard to avoid, but I think it must be related to the lower profile of this mouse. As per the attached photo, a side view shows how the Amazon has less of a "hump" than my ASUS mouse and my Logitech wireless mouse. I think that somehow this causes the muscles controlling my right-click (ring) finger to fatigue and slip. It's just a theory, but there is no doubt about the accidental right-clicks - they are a prominent feature for me. Other folks, a musician for example, may have little or no trouble with this, or they may have even more for all I know. 3.5 stars is closer to the mark for this combo; the feel of both keyboard and mouse are very good and the keyboard does not collect dust under the keys. With the noted problems addressed it could easily be a 5-star combo and an unbeatable value.
