Dell Genuine SK-3205 104 Key Wired USB Keyboard KW240, NY559, KW218 With Smart Card Reader (Drivers Included), And Palm Rest

Great keyboard

FIVE STAR Product! Build Quality is far better than any other Dell keyboards. Nice weight, great key travel and feel. Even if you don't need the Smart-Card reader, it's still well worth the price just to get the higher quality. Smart-Card is perfectly located, does not require more space (foot print) to ued your Smart-Card. Comes with drivers, can download newer drivers and firmware update from Dell if needed. We use this model on Windows (all versions), Aplple Mac OS X (last 5 versions) and Linux, many distributions... No problems at all. You won't regreat buying this keyboard, I highly recommend it, you will be very satisfied with the quality and especially the price.

the keys are soft and silent. its easy to type. I use a dell keyboard at work and so I was particular about getting a dell keyboard at home as well. one aspect I did not like is the incline on the keyboard. towards the F1, F2... keys, the keyboard rises sharply up. I would have preferred a more flat keyboard. this was not clear in the pictures.

My fingers have a tendency to slip off or hit two keys at once with every other keyboard. I had one of these and it got lost in a move. I spent like 100 bucks on a cordless Logitec, which I normally like their products but once I received this Dell one I threw the other away. The difference is the keys are convex and not placed directly right next to each other. This thing has some weight to it. Other manufacturers pride themselves on their keyboard as being light weight, why would I want a keyboard that slides around while I'm typing or especially gaming? The key press is quite and you can feel it push back up similar to a mechanical one. 70 bucks seems like a lot for a wired keyboard but it is top notch. I'll add too, the people who shipped it to me got it here a week earlier than their estimated arrival date even with Christmas coming up.

I gave this a one star because an important key on the keyboard came defective (The right arrow --->) and found out after a couple of uses . I'm a Programmer and I cannot express enough how important I need this right arrow ---> when coding or for fast navigation. I love the keyboard otherwise but this serious defect is really annoying me as I have to get my had over to the mouse just to move the cursor to the location I need it, thus why I gave it a 1 star. QA failed me.....!
