i-rocks KR-6402 Wired Aluminum Ultra Slim Keyboard, Silent and Low Profile, Chicklet-Like Keys, Scissor-Structure Key Switches, Windows Office and Multimedia Keys, 2X USB Hub Ports – White

Excellent keyboard for programming! Relative to my previous Logitech keyboard, I would say this keyboard has given me a +10% programming productivity boost due to its better key feel and more satisfying sound when typing.

This keyboard is a nice, slim, low profile keyboard. After having used it for a while, I really like it. It's fairly quiet (you can still hear the key clicks, just not as loud as the larger keys on a higher profile keyboard) and very easy to use and it looks nice. However, there are a couple of things that I would prefer were different.1. The apostrophe/quotation mark key sticks. You have to hit it very firmly to get it to respond.2. When the computer goes to sleep and the screen goes dark, you cannot wake it by pressing keys on the keyboard. You have to use the mouse. Frustrating...3. It would be more convenient to have the All-Caps light closer to where the All-Caps key is located. Maybe even on the key itself. I find that I occasionally hit the All-Caps key by accident, and find myself looking over to the key itself to see if the light is on, instead of to the far right of the keyboard above the 10-key numbers where the actual light is located. It feels very counter-intuitive.Other that these minor things, I do like the keyboard a lot and plan to use it for a long time.

Nice quiet keyboard exactly what my daughter wanted. Very sleek and sylish with the bonus of quiet key strokes.

Update: After posting this review the manufacturer reached out to me and replaced the keyboard. It is possible that they reached out prior to seeing this review. Updated from 1 star to 3 stars. I like the feel of they keyboard - feels just like my Apple keyboard - but why did 3 keys just give out after 3 months when nothing spilled on them?At just less than 3 months of use, 3 of the keys on the keyboard just stopped working for no reason. I contacted Amazon who had me contact the manufacturer as the product was outside Amazon's 30-day return window, but well within the manufacturer's 1-year warranty. I have not heard back from the manufacturer and Amazon can't force them to honor their warranty.

First the M key popped up and wouldn't stay down, so my husband thought he could work with it. He just gave it to me to return (too late) we've had extreme emergencies at home so didn't get this tested in time to return. Then the - key stopped working and the ?/ key quit working. Total usage time.....2 wks?Don't waste your money. Breaks easily. Soft type, quiet is nice but it needs to work longer than 2 wks.

I had this keyboard for years and loved it. There is a finite lifespan for everything. I was happy to find this one to replace mine and it works like a charm, as always. Please don't ever discontinue this model.

Updated review from 5 down to 2 stars in 2022: I finally bought the latest model for my own use and had to return it: the Tab key was non-responsive most of the time, and the overall quality was not as good as the 2017 model. I am now looking for an alternative.Posted two pictures for people wondering about the conflicting product pictures on Amazon. The first photo you see on Amazon (as of the time of this post) is the model I received in 2017--it has small gaps between F4 and F5, F8 and F9. The second one I ordered in December 2020 (not for me, but for another computer in the house) is different and looks like the photo labelled "Ultra-Slim Aluminum Keyboard", with separate status lights and a single-sized plus key over on the number pad. I still use the 2017 model everyday and don't plan to switch. The newer one feels little spongier when you bottom out, but I think I would have no problem adjusting to it should the day come when I finally have to retire the older one.If you are coming from an Apple Keyboard, or just like keys with really low travel distance, you will probably like this keyboard.

I like soft keys, but this was too soft. I couldn’t tell when the keys registered either. I would often type too lightly because of how soft the keys feel, and miss letters. Returned it.
