Logitech Deluxe 250 Vista Qualified USB Keyboard (Black)

I am not sure why so many negative reviews but I love this keyboard. I needed a smaller keyboard for my desk because I have 2 21-inch monitors plus a bunch of papers and other things on my desk. I didn't want a bulky keyboard or one that had unnecessary add-ons. I chose the Logitech Deluxe 250 because it was small, compact, and had a good look to it. It came in a simple box and unpacking was simple. Installing it was easy as well, no drivers or software required. The keys have a good feel to them. The spacing is good also. I have now been using this keyboard for over 5 years and have no issues with stuck keys or broken keys. For the price this was a great purchase. If you want a keyboard that's compact and reliable this is the one to get. pros: *small and compact *easy installation and no software required *built to last *good value for the price cons: *none

I really, really, really like the old-fashioned IBM "clicky" keyboards. I've had several over the years and when I needed a new one, I even searched for and bought them used. This time, not only couldn't I find an old IBM, but I needed a USB connection. I thought I'd try this one. After all, it's a Logitech, the ratings aren't bad and it was certainly inexpensive enough. Although it's basically everything that the old IBMs weren't, I really like it. It has a good touch, the keys aren't too big or too small, and I find that I'm as good a keyboardist on this model as I am on any. The BACKSPACE, SHIFT and ENTER keys are good-sized, and that's one of the things that I wanted. I'd recommend it, and I'd buy it again.

USB keyboard, plug and play. I didn't need to install anything. It "Works with Vista", however it also works with Windows XP. As mentioned in other reviews the keys of the Spacebar, Ctrl, Alt, & Windows keys are slightly convex/rounded. Not that it matters. I don't notice any difference. As far as the complaint that the keys are soft to the touch, I don't have a problem with it and again can't tell any difference from other keyboards I've used. So far, I like it, I can type just as fast and accurate as ever and it works. Made by Logitech, so you know it can't be a complete piece of junk.

This is a simple keyboard not complicated very easy to use just plug it in to your computer and you are ready to go. I like the way the keys are set up they don't stick at all you don't have to press very hard to type light touch works really well. And the price is great if you are looking for a no nonsense keyboard for your computer and don't want to spend a whole lot of money on one then this is the one for you it's made by Logitech and it's at a great price check it out you won't be sorry.

How much can you really say about an inexpensive keyboard? All you can want at this price point is that (a) it installs easily, (b) its functions work as they should, and (c) it doesn't break. This keyboard has done all three of those things, and it's rare when you get exactly what you want at such a low price. Highly recommended!

I ordered an USB keyboard with USB connectivity. The description even says that connectivity is USB. I received a keyboard with the old style round port connector. It will not work with my laptop. I did not order a mouse with but got one with the old round mouse port. A mouse was not included in the description.

I loved the price of this keyboard. Add to the fact, that it's from Logitech, a name that I recognize, and I was full on board! The keyboard is not so noisy, however it's not that quiet, either. The only real issue that I have with this keyboard is, from time to time, the Shift key gets stuck (what a metaphor for my life right now). I guess you get what you pay for. All in all, it's not bad. It gets the job done! It you expect perfection, don't buy this keyboard. But if you are content with getting the job done efficient- and effectively, BUY THIS!

This product works great, looks good, and is a great value. What more could you want from a $10 keyboard? BUY IT. UPDATE 2/19/14: After five years of daily use, it works as well as day one. My only gripe is that a couple of the painted letters have worn off.

It's almost an exact duplicate of the Logitech Deluxe 250 USB keyboard I needed to replace. The only difference is the new one has rounded, raised Windows logos on the Windows keys. The keys on the new one are very quiet and easy to press. I'm glad I found this as I didn't want to have to get used to a different keyboard.

The keys aren't sticky to push like most cheaper end keyboards, and I like the layout. It doesn't have macro keys, if that matters. I'm really happy for the price I paid.
