Arteck HA305-3B - QWERTY Wired

Buy Review: Nice feel, good lighting - OK I have a limited size area available for my keyboard, my lap, I have been using a smaller keyboard that was similar but without the cursor keys or number pad areas, unfortunately after a second trip to the floor off the chair arm thanks to cat it ceased to be, an ex keyboard. I'd bought on of these previously as my wife prefers this, so after her rave reviews I thought I'd try one out. the lighting is nice, easy to change and vibrant. size wise, yes it's a full sized keyboard but the margins outside are neat. The whole thing feels solid and when in use on my lap it doesn't bend or flex like some do. Typing is easy and the short press keys work very well, if it bothers you at all they are also fairly quiet. Honestly I like it, it's doing a good job as a do everything keyboard from slow social posts, to gaming to working on documents all is good. It has also survived a couple of cat encounters, he's slept on it and knocked it off a couple of time, but no damage. Review: Great, quiet keyboard - My requirements: I moved from a small, rather noisy keyboard when working from home and playing pc games. Looking for a quieter, full-size keyboard. I am extremely happy with this product, benefits include: + Quiet operation when typing (significantly quieter so won't be interfering with my meetings). + Very comfortable, tactile keys (I love the concave feel of each key). + Simple controls to operate backlight (different brightness levels including fully OFF if desired). + Full size keyboard including numeric keypad (accurate typing almost immediately, just having to re-learn the location of some keys having moved up from a mini-keyboard layout before). + Nicely tilted towards the user (desertcart product photos don't convey this very well, but there is a long cylindrical 'leg' along the rear of the base - see my photo). + Good length USB cable. + VERY good value for money. The items I am less keen on or could be seen as a disadvantage: - Not able to adjust the tilt of the keyboard (no legs to adjust, so just a static position). - Small number of backlight colours available and no animations / effects (but I knew this from the product description before I purchased the item). - Quite hard to read the function-keys in low light conditions (backlight doesn't show the function key numbers as brightly as the other keys, unless set very brightly). Overall I would highly recommend this item. Yes you can buy more RGB / animated backlight options, but you would need to pay a LOT more money to buy those. At this price-point, it is an easy decision to make.
