This keyboard was bought to go with my gaming laptop housed in another study since I tend to do a lot of typing there and so needed a board with full size keys.
It is lightweight, feet at the back which can be flipped up so there is a slight angle to the keyboard (something I felt was necessary otherwise it likes perfectly flat), simple plug and play operation on Windows 11.
The keys are full size, generously large white printing for the letters/numbers which is essential with a black keyboard although how long that lettering will last with the speed of my typing is only something that time will tell. For the moment, the keys are easy to read when I have to glance down.
I tested this using a top of the range word processing software and it easily kept up with the speed of my typing (averages 80 words per minute) with no lag and no getting "confused" by the speed I was inputting data.
Simple design, nothing special about it, clearly designed more for "typing" than for "gaming" but I should expect it can be used for gaming if someone doesn't have a dedicated gaming keyboard. For my purposes, it will be only typing and for that the keyboard works perfectly. Yes, the number pad on the right is going to be a bit of a pain (not only don't I use the number pad more than once in a blue moon but I am left-handed and so prefer it on the left - manufacturers please take note). However, it was easy to get used to having the mouse further away from me (yes, left handed but I use right hand for mouse).
All in all, an excellent budget keyboard for the tiny price it is sold at. I anticipate it will last me some considerable time and it is a pleasure to type on.
Point to note... Something that newer keyboards all seem to be failing at now is the tiny "bump" moulded onto the F and J keys as if it has been added as an afterthought. That "bump" is vital for touch typists, we learn to place our fingers based on the "bump" otherwise it means often having to glance down at the keyboard and position the fingers using eyes. I have not marked this keyboard down because of that but I do wish all manufacturers would understand the importance of the F and J keys and so give a little more prominence to that "bump" when designing those keys.
Easy to recommend this keyboard and my thanks also to the many other Amazon reviewers whose words did sway me towards ordering this model.
