Excellent and Durable
The Kensington Wired Keyboard is a solid, well-built keyboard that provides excellent typing quality for its price. I’ve been using it with my Mac, and while it’s primarily designed for PC compatibility, it functions fairly well with Mac devices. The build quality is excellent—sturdy, durable, and feels much more premium than most budget keyboards on the market. It’s clearly built to last, and the keys have a nice, responsive feel, making it comfortable for long typing sessions.However, one drawback I found when using it on a Mac is that some keys don’t work as expected. This keyboard is clearly optimized for Windows/PC layouts, so certain functions or keys don’t map directly to macOS shortcuts. For instance, the Windows key doesn’t translate perfectly to the Command key, and a few other specific keys have minor compatibility issues. This can slow you down if you’re used to Mac-specific shortcuts.It would be great if Kensington made a Mac-compatible version of this model because the quality is outstanding, and it would be ideal for users who switch between operating systems. For PC users, this keyboard is likely a perfect fit. For Mac users, it’s a good option if you’re okay with the occasional mismatch or are willing to remap keys.Pros:• Solid build quality; feels very durable• Comfortable and responsive typing experience• Affordable for the qualityCons:• Some compatibility issues with macOS• Windows/PC layout may confuse Mac users

Functional keyboard with low profile keys
This keyboard is an improvement over my original Dell in as much that the keys are a lower profile making typing a breeze. It is wider (longer depending on your definition), running along the wrist rest. This means further arm movement to the numbers on the right - I would have preferred it to be more compact and I still haven't gotten used to the additional distance - several inches would you believe (yeah-yeah you might laugh but it does make a difference)! However, for the price point at the time I really can't complain. It isn't a silent strike, therefore if you are a touch typist like myself, it can be a little clackity clack until you get into the rhythm and it becomes part of the background hum.So pros: lower profile keys than some, excellent price point - and oh yes a good long cable - always essential when not going wireless.Cons: the main one being the size - sometimes it does matter! Particularly if you have a smaller hand/arm like myself - but I will get used to it and it is so much better than the sticky keyed (and I don't mean dirty) 16 year original that I had before it!

Wow this is amazing!
My old keyboard was faulty and I needed a replacement quick. I wasn’t interested in having anything flashy just a keyboard that worked so decided to buy this mainly as it was about £10. I am honestly so impressed it’s amazing quality. I thought it was going to be very plastic and clunky but it’s not at all. The keys are all slim and have a really satisfying soft feel when you press them. The best way to describe it is like a laptop keyboard. I felt compelled to write a review as this is really a fantastic product that is affordable AND good quality which can be rare nowadays. 100% recommended.

Great Keyboard
Great keyboard, used it for ages until the shift stopped working (mostly because I used the shift key a lot).

Reasonable keyboard for the price.
Bought for a new tower computer (which wouldn't wake up after a key press) , until I realised one of my PS/2 keyboards would work with a BIOS adjustment. Keeping it for use with my laptop.The keys are a bit low profile for my taste, and the tilt is a bit limited, but otherwise it works perfectly well.
