Affordable Excellence

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2023

Number of Items: 1Verified Purchase

The Amazon Basics Low-Profile Wired USB Keyboard has proven to be a reliable and budget-friendly solution that exceeded my expectations. I found myself in need of a wired keyboard after my employer implemented a policy prohibiting wireless alternatives due to security concerns. This budget-friendly option has not only complied with the workplace guidelines but has also become a pleasant surprise in terms of performance.

The key feel is excellent, offering a comfortable and responsive typing experience. The low-profile design ensures a sleek and modern appearance, and I appreciate how the keyboard lays flat and stays securely in place during use. Its simplicity is its strength, and it's refreshing to find a no-frills keyboard that gets the job done effectively.

One of the standout features is the affordability – it's incredibly inexpensive, making it an accessible option for anyone on a budget. In terms of functionality, reliability, and price, the Amazon Basics Low-Profile Wired USB Keyboard is a solid choice for those seeking a no-nonsense keyboard that performs exceptionally well.

It's a good keyboard and gets the job done. I use it to sit on my lap when on my recliner and it's super light so I can pick it up and put it to the side very easily.

Really basic

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2023

Number of Items: 1Verified Purchase

It's not super thin - it's about 30mm/1 inch high max.
The keys are what you would expect from a membrane keyboard - slightly mushey.
It's not super fancy. There are no cool features like back lighting or wireless operation.

It's just a basic keyboard:
It is quite cheap.
It does just work.
It does have all of the basic features you would expect from a keyboard.
It has volume control keys too.
It is rather quiet.
It will never run out of power (since it's wired with a nice long cable).
It is fairly compact but has well spaced keys.

One fault that other reviews have mentioned: the bumps on the home keys (F, J, 5) are too small, so it's not so easy to feel them.

When my fancy, wireless, back-lit, super thin, x-switch keyboard was left at the office, this one is still going to be a lot better than trying to type on a laptop that is on a shelf.

Decent, inexpensive keyboard.

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024

Number of Items: 1Verified Purchase

Key feel is nice, footprint seems slightly smaller side to side and front to back than most similarly featured keyboards.
The keys are very low and feel like they are squeezed closer together. I have large hands and even typing it feels slightly pushed together/cramped. Not enough to bother me in normal typing but in games I am constantly mashing the caps lock instead of shift and shift instead of control. For this reason, I can't really recommend it for gaming, but for general use I think the key push feels nice and might save you some room on your keyboard tray. It also has a low profile as the keys look like they are close to 1/4 the height of regular wired keyboards keys.

My other keyboard started sticking so I bought this one an inexpensive replacement. I have no complaints. It doesn't have fancy features but I didn't need any. The key noise is quiet. Would buy again.

Good keyboard

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2024

Number of Items: 1Verified Purchase

This keyboard works great, and it is pretty quiet.

I had been using a compact keyboard to reduce space on my desktop in front of my laptop, but the compact keyboard's key layout led to a lot of typos and frustration. Now I got this, and it is actually slimmer overall, and it has standard spacing and layout, and it's awesome.

The one issue is that the description said it has fold out legs, even though the picture showed molded in features, so I wasn't sure what I would get. The keyboard I received has molded in supports which are working great and will be more reliable.

This is a "basic" keyboard, very inexpensive, positive feel when typing (not too hard, not too soft to push). The volume buttons are very handy to have right on the keyboard instead of reaching around behind my monitor to adjust volume all the time.

Excellent for the money

Reviewed in Canada on October 29, 2023

Number of Items: 1Verified Purchase

This is a basic keyboard, for sure, but it's quite robust and comfortable to use. The keys require a positive press, but for a non-typist like me, that is an advantage. It's a wired keyboard, so no batteries, and the cord is plenty long enough. If I have a slight grumble, it doesn't have adjustable legs at the back to raise it up at all. That's only minor, though, and doesn't interfere with the day to day use.

Por el precio pagado resulta un buen producto. Tiene todo lo necesario, su layout es basntante estándar y cómodo. Es comparto y quizá eso no es bueno si tienen dedos grandes/gordos y obviamente no es ergonómico, sin embargo resulta una excelente opción sobre todo considerando el precio.
