Customers are mixed about the noise of the keyboard. Some mention that it is much quieter than their previous keyboard, with smooth and gratifying keys.

Amazon basics does it again! Great stuff!

Amazon basics does it again! Great stuff!
UPDATE (DEC 2019):It's been a year and a half and the keyboard functions literally the same as it has when it first came out of the box. The only noticeable change from when I first purchased the product is the spacebar wear that shows on every keyboard ever made since the spacebar is the most pressed key on a keyboard.Otherwise there has been zero issues with this keyboard since day one and it continues to be a fantastic value.ORIGINAL REVIEW (MAY 2018):Amazon Basics is starting to be a brand that I like the more I use. I needed an inexpensive keyboard to attach to my laptop to improve my overall desk set up on a budget and the keyboard did just that and surprised me.Pros:Key travel is great. All are very responsive and feel great when typing. At this price you're not looking for a mechanical keyboard, but this is much more comfortable to type at high volumes than my laptop (Acer V5).Awesome dedicated buttons - Calculator on the top right, MyComputer button in the middle, music player button, and dedicated volume buttons are all included as single-press actions. I have all of these features on my laptop, but I have to press a function key and this really makes my life easier!F + J + 9 (D Pad) keys have a pretty solid bump for getting right to work without having to look at the keyboard.Number lock + Caps Lock do have green lights to indicate when they're on. Backspace and shift keys seem to work well and I'm not worried about how well they'll hold up over time. SHIFT and ENTER seem small but they work just fine without slowing down typing speed or accuracy. D PAD size is great number pad is great and playing around with the calculator didn't slow me down at all.Cord is pretty long so you shoudln't have an issue keeping it connected to whatever you need.Cons:Upon further examination, the space bar seems and sounds a bit shaky. I'm worried about how well it'll hold up over time. Then again, I've had other keyboards/laptops with similar issues. Being such a cheap laptop I'm not expecting it to last forever I just wonder if that's going to be the first thing that goes.I wish it was a bit wider of a keyboard. It feels like a normal size I just feel ever so slightly cramped for a dedicated keyboard.The high gloss finish of the body shows dust and smudges, I wish it was more of a matte finish like the keys.The rubber "feet" are not very grippy I had to put a pad under my keyboard (check photos) to make sure it didn't slide around while typing (that may just be me typing too hard). The "feet" are a solid bar on the back so if you like to prop your keyboard up further (you shouldn't it's bad for you), then that'll be a con as well.Overall:Great value. Exactly what I needed. Great price.

ORIGINAL REVIEW (MAY 2018):
Amazon Basics is starting to be a brand that I like the more I use. I needed an inexpensive keyboard to attach to my laptop to improve my overall desk set up on a budget and the keyboard did just that and surprised me.

Pros:

Awesome dedicated buttons - Calculator on the top right, MyComputer button in the middle, music player button, and dedicated volume buttons are all included as single-press actions. I have all of these features on my laptop, but I have to press a function key and this really makes my life easier!

D PAD size is great number pad is great and playing around with the calculator didn't slow me down at all.

Cord is pretty long so you shoudln't have an issue keeping it connected to whatever you need.

Cons:
Upon further examination, the space bar seems and sounds a bit shaky. I'm worried about how well it'll hold up over time. Then again, I've had other keyboards/laptops with similar issues. Being such a cheap laptop I'm not expecting it to last forever I just wonder if that's going to be the first thing that goes.

I wish it was a bit wider of a keyboard. It feels like a normal size I just feel ever so slightly cramped for a dedicated keyboard.

The high gloss finish of the body shows dust and smudges, I wish it was more of a matte finish like the keys.

The rubber "feet" are not very grippy I had to put a pad under my keyboard (check photos) to make sure it didn't slide around while typing (that may just be me typing too hard). The "feet" are a solid bar on the back so if you like to prop your keyboard up further (you shouldn't it's bad for you), then that'll be a con as well.

Overall:
Great value. Exactly what I needed. Great price.
