Price and Value

Pros:

  • "Well you can't beat the price."
  • "Every time I need a new inexpensive wired keyboard, this is my go-to."
  • "Price 4.5/5 because it's still pretty cheap without being the CHEAPEST."
  • "For the price, this is a great choice if you just need a keyboard."
  • "Good value!!!"
  • "The price was right."
  • "Very affordable and great quality."

Cons:

  • "Pay the extra money. Get a better keyboard."
  • "But it really is a lousy keyboard."
  • "I should have spent more outright for a better keyboard."
  • "I would reinvest my 10 dollars in a different keyboard if I had the chance."
  • "This wore out way too fast."
  • "I know it's cheap and you get what you pay for but this keyboard just feels *bad* to type on."
  • "These are not deal breakers, but if you type faster, then all these issues slow you down . . . a lot. I will pay more and get a better keyboard next time."

Design and Build

Pros:

  • "I love the big, standard, chiclet keys that let me pound while I type."
  • "It's lightweight enough and small enough to fit in a backpack for air travel."
  • "It's compact, simple, responsive and durable."
  • "This keyboard has the layout that I like with the full num pad and not too much extra around the edges."
  • "The construction is pretty solid and the keys aren't horribly loud."
  • "The keys are well spaced, the key strokes smooth and quiet, and even for gaming it works well, due to the great key spacing!"
  • "The keys are raised and make for easy typing."

Cons:

  • "The board is pretty cheap so it is a little flimsy, but I don't plan on tossing it across the room anytime soon so I think it'll be alright."
  • "A keyboard should be something that the engineers and designers are not permitted to rearrange for purposes of slick packaging."
  • "The keys feel loose and floppy and it require you to press down much further than modern keyboards."
  • "The little extendable feet to put the keyboard at an angle broke off in early 2013."
  • "The grey plastic bottom is somewhat ugly, but you won't be seeing much of it anyways."
  • "the back supports are cheap and are easily flipped down."
  • "The legs that raise the back edge are too short for my taste."

Functionality and Performance

Pros:

  • "It types well and holds a charge well…."
  • "The keyboard does have a 'click' to the keys when you type which is nice and makes the keyboard feel fairly comfortable when typing."
  • "The Logitech K120 works well with various Windows versions, proving to be a versatile companion for different setups."
  • "It STILL WORKS."
  • "All I really expect from a keyboard is consistency and speed of use, which this delivers 100%."
  • "It works like a champ."
  • "It is wired, no batteries, so it's always ready for use with no concerns that go with batteries."

Cons:

  • "I don't know, maybe I 'type wrong', but I constantly hit keys unintentionally when reaching for other keys."
  • "The only negative I have experienced with this keyboard is that caps-lock is a bit too easy to accidentally hit along with the A key."
  • "The spacebar is 'boggy' and if you try to hit it from off-center, like if you are gaming and had to reach your hand over, it feels strange."
  • "pressing the left side of the spacebar always makes it stick."
  • "However, I use the F1 and F2 keys a lot in my work, and these keys are not aligned in the traditional locations--F1 is where F2 should be."
  • "Right out of the box, this keyboard has a specific problem that makes it unusable for gaming - you cannot hit Shift, W, and 1 or 2 at the same time."
  • "after just a couple months of use the spacebar is sticking... badly enough that it enters extra spaces regularly."

Durability and Reliability

Pros:

  • "I would recommend this Keyboard to anyone looking for a cheap and tough keyboard that will last them for years and withstand lots of abuse like coffee spills, crumbs, and cats who like to take naps on books, laptops, and keyboards."
  • "If this keyboard can survive me giving it a boiling hot Folgers coffee bath twice then it can survive anything you put it through."
  • "Their products are consistently reliable and durable."
  • "Incredibly reliable. I've never had a single issue with it."
  • "Also pretty durable, I've had this for almost 3 years - it's been banged around a bit and I don't maintain it that much. But it still works perfectly."
  • "Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'."
  • "I spilled a glass of sticky juice on it... Normally that would be instant keyboard death, but with this it just pooled under the keys, I tipped it to drain it off, and two days later I'm still typing away full sail."

Cons:

  • "The only downside is the 'feet' break quite easily and are more expensive than buying a new keyboard to replace."
  • "While the keys move well and the keyboard is still working many of the letters are missing from the keys."
  • "One of the standup legs broke due to mishandling (my fault)."
  • "On the old one, a few keys have the letters worn off."
  • "Pretty disappointed in the durability for a brand I've had good experiences with in the past."
  • "MANY KEYS HAVE SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING AFTER 2 MONTHS- GETTING WORSE AS TIME MOVES ON."
  • "Markings on keys started wearing off far too quickly - after about 6 months of usage."

Comfort and Ergonomics

Pros:

  • "The keys are *just right*, not too clicky, not to mushy."
  • "I especially like the old style with the 6 keys for insert/home/page up/delete/end/page down 3-on-3 format."
  • "The keys are surprising soft and quiet."
  • "I like that the keyboard buttons are a bit firm, requiring some pressure to type, but the buttons are noisy!"
  • "The keys are very easy to press down on."
  • "The keys respond to touch quite well, and give an acceptable amount of feedback so you know that you've hit a key."
  • "The keys are nice and not so freaking close to each other like I have had before in the past with others."

Cons:

  • "I find the keys to be very 'spongey' feeling."
  • "The spacebar recently started to 'stick'."
  • "It isn't very flat so if you don't want your wrists to bend too much maybe it's not for you."
  • "The keys are pretty noisy."
  • "The keys are a lot stiffer than said laptop keyboard."
  • "The keys were harder on my fingers (I type a lot)."
  • "The keys have too much stiction, especially if not pushed down exactly straight, i.e. they jam and don't want to go down."

Brand Trust and Customer Satisfaction

Pros:

  • "I have been using Logitech accessories for years, and have never been dissatisfied with their ease of install or use."
  • "Logitech is a pretty good brand name for their electronics, I wouldn't buy any other brand name."
  • "Honestly, I think Logitech would survive just fine if they charged $10 for this keyboard."
  • "Logitech definitely has the upper hand with a great, simple design and good quality for a very fair price!"
  • "This is made by Logitech, which is a brand that I trust, and the price point was excellent."
  • "I am very satisfied with the functionality and overall feel of it."
  • "I am SO pleased with my new keyboard."
