Dell Wired Keyboard KB216, Multimedia, Black

I was using a different keyboard and found that I really missed the extra 3 keys that control the speaker volume. This keyboard fills that need perfectly and makes life more simple. On a side note, this is a very quiet keyboard. Typing on it is not noiseless but is a lot better than hearing the clacking keys.

It's strange times when the best keyboards are $15 and the worst are over $80. This is a primitive keyboard, but if you want reliable, low-profile and quiet, this might be your board. Personally, I highly recommend it. And if it isn't your dream come true, it's an entirely worthy and practical backup. At this price, buy it.

This is the same keyboard that came when I purchased the desktop computer. Over 3 years it got noisy, repeated letters, and was causing frustration. The new keyboard was a quick install. Much quieter and accurate. Especially when I'm doing work that requires precision in wording, this keyboard is highly responsive and accurate as I type. The price was excellent, and I didn't have to get used to a new keyboard layout. Thanks, Dell!

Mechanically this keyboard is pretty good given the budget price. Key assignments leave something to be desired for me. If you don't see it inscribed on the keys, the key codes don't get sent. The numlock keys work but don't seem to do anything if not in numlock. The most important functions work so for me it's good enough to keep. Also wish the raised portions of F and J keys were raised more so they'd be easier to feel for touch typing.

My old keyboard needed to be replaced. This Dell keyboard is great. I use everyday.

I've owned this keyboard for a year and a half. It has been super reliable and has given me no issues. It is not that loud and the letters have not faded. I've also used it for gaming and had no issues.

I've been through many keyboards in my illustrious 15 years of computing,yep folks,got my first computer in 2001 and it's 2016 now,so you can do the math. Yep,I know,I may be a little late but better late then never right and my first Computer was a Dell,or well made by Dell,same thing I guess. I have a Dell now but it's not the same computer that I started with 15 years ago,wow imagine having a Pentium III running at 866 mhz,that would be a bit slow to say the least compared to today's standards. Any way I say that to say since I have had mostly Dell computers,I try and buy dell peripherals/hardware as well. I think doing it like this makes hardware compatibility easier. I've had other Dell keyboards in the past but this one seems to be the best one I've had thus far,I have to admit,I was a bit skeptical at first,I saw the pic of it and I said to myself, well,I don't know if that's for me but I'm glad I went ahead and bought it despite my skepticism. The price was right as well,I got this for $6 bucks and the s and h was $6 as well so it was $12 altogether,bought right here on ........Amazon.com! (cheap pop? Any rasslin fans reading this??) There really isn't much to say about this keyboard but I wanted to come here and review it any way because so far I'm loving it. I don't think my typing speed has improved over night?,hmm but for some reason it feels like I can type faster with this keyboard. This keyboard is similar to the keyboard on a laptop,meaning that the buttons take very little pressure to press,if that makes any sense,it's a little hard to explain but when you get the keyboard you'll see what I mean,so maybe that's where the speed increase comes in,I'm not really sure. I'm typing on it right now and it just feels so smooth compared to my last keyboard which was decent enough but the buttons got stuck after a while,by the way,it was a Dell keyboard as well. Any way in conclusion if you're skeptical,I say give it a try any way because you just never know you may end up loving it as I currently do. Also for under $15 bucks you really don't have alot to lose so if you want to apply the whole risk vs reward principle,I think the "risk" is definitely worth the "reward". I would definitely purchase this keyboard again,who knows maybe I'll get a spare one one day. Take care and happy shopping right here on .................Amazon. com :)

Good keyboard---have several on CNC machine computers and they work well and robust----long lasting (except) when they are subject to a 5 pound holding clamp dropped on them----my bad!!!!

After 3 years of daily use, the keyboard works well. It is a simple membrane keyboard so the typing experience is fine. It is not squishy like some really cheap keyboards, it offers some tactile feedback. The letters on the keys are still clearly visible. I use Colemak keyboard layout and I've swapped the keys accordingly except, J and T. They are not swappable with other keys so I had to leave them. I bought it for ₹569 and I'm satisfied with the keyboard.

I love it because I much prefer the "chicklet" keys to the higher, noisier one keys. Being a typist, it allows me to type much more quickly. I also love this keyboard because of the separate volume controls for music and videos. It beats having to hunt for the volume icon in the system tray of the laptop. It's also better than having to use the Fn key to access the feature on a function key. I am totally pleased with this keyboard and would definitely buy it again.

Love it!

Good

Very nice addon keyboard. Would recommend any time for daily office work.
