Lenovo Preferred Pro II Wired External USB Keyboard ( 4X30M86879) Factory Sealed Retail Product For USA, black

If you want the classic style keyboard, without the added cost of mechanical keys, then this is the best option. Slightly quieter than the old style keyboards, but similar tactile feel.

Works like new very happy with this purchase would definitely purchase again

Comfortable

Love the Lenovo keyboard! I was trained as a typist (way back in the day) rather than a "key-boarder" so having the key spacing aligned just like an old-fashioned electric typewriter with each key being slightly convex, allows me to type much, much faster than a flat-key board w/ practically no spaces between the keys. TheLenovo keys are also smoother than some other keyboards I've tried. The keyboard is generally quiet when typing except the space key which tends to make a clacking sound each time I hit it. I would give this keyboard a five-star if Lenovo would silence its space bar. Nevertheless, Lenovo is the only keyboard will buy. I intend to buy one more for my way-to-flat-keyed laptop.

Love this keyboard and work great! Would buy again

This is the same keyboard that came with one of our shared computers at work. Every time I used that computer, I noticed I could type faster and more accurately. The keys dip in the middle and are textured so my fingers stay in place. I'm not the best typist in the world and this keyboard has decreased my corrections as I type. My previous keyboard was an old Logitech KB350 wireless wave keyboard. It's huge with all kinds of options I never used. This keyboard takes less room on my desk. The USB cord doesn't bother me and I had plenty of slots on my tower. (I'm rather old-school.) The USB cable is long enough that I can put the keyboard on my lap if I want. (I have it plugged in the back.) No batteries to worry about. The Num Lock key has 3 green easy-to-spot LED indicators above it. The bottom is for the Num Lock key. Above that is the Caps Lock indicator, maybe not the best placement. At the top is the Scroll Lock indicator. I just have to get used to looking to see if extra lights are on. I usually leave Num Lock on. I haven't noticed any lag or connectivity issues. For $20 this is a great keyboard for those with limited space, typing-challenged, and can tolerate an extra cable on their work surface.

Just like using a typewriter keyboard

This is my second of these keyboards. I am a college student and do a large amount of typing. I also sometimes bring my lunch to my desk, and unfortunately crumbs accumulate on the keyboard. For FIVE YEARS this poor thing gave me top notch service, even though at times I would turn it upside down for firm taps to remove any crumbs down under the keys, which of course I could not remove them all. It finally failed a few days ago, and I am happily typing on my new replacement now. Realize, I am a very clean person, scrubbing everything, but with my busy schedule, it seemed like a win win situation for me to eat while using my computer. However, from now on, with my new keyboard, I am setting the keyboard to the side if I want to eat at my desk, so I do not inadvertently drop food into it. It is easy enough to click a few buttons on the side, and watch an instructional video, or even a movie if I feel inclined, until I have had my lunch. I hope this information helps you. The keyboard has a heavier action than a laptop keyboard. I like the more substantial feel, and it is larger giving more space for the hands. It also has little legs at the back that can be moved to raise up the back of the keyboard. Some may find typing with this slant a little easier. I prefer typing with it flat as it feels like less work with my hands.

Wired keyboard that works. What you'd expect

I've burned through a few low-cost keyboards in the last few months. Very frustrating when you constantly have to back up to correct errors caused by an ornery, uncooperative keyboard. This one is fantastic. I'm a touch-typist so I generally fly along at a good pace and a cheap keyboard can instantly negate my ability to touch type, with errors all over the place. The Lenova is a SOLID keyboard. It feels solid, doesn't skitter about as I type. It's heavy - and that's very good. It probably weighs 2 or 3 times that of the cheapos I've been using. The keys are super responsive. It's a pleasure to type on.

Best keyboard I've ever used, soft fluffy keys, good travel, vastly better than the Logitech one I had before.

It is a properly sturdy keyboard that goes well with my ThinkPad setup. The feeling of typing is definitely better than most keyboards in this price range; it almost feels like a mechanical keyboard. The only downside is that it is American layout.

Product box arrived in good shape and unopened. The keyboard was new, installed easily and worked well from the start. I have never owned a good quality keyboard and was very impressed with the improved ease of typing with it. Pay a little more money and buy a real keyboard, not a toy.
