NPET K10 Wired Gaming Keyboard, LED Backlit, Spill-Resistant Design, Multimedia Keys, Quiet Silent USB Membrane Keyboard for Desktop, Computer, PC (Black)

I'm just your regular type of guy. I surf the web, play some games, and occasionally write a review. During a moment of game induced rage, I slammed my hand into my old keyboard and snapped the space bar in half. It still worked, but it wasn't reliable and I could see more rage coming if I wasn't able to use my space bar properly. That is when my search for a keyboard began. I found this bad boy for under 20 bucks and thought it would be ok... you know, do the job. Well, it does. It even has features I don't care about. Like LED lights under the keys. It has 3 different color schemes + 1 more to turn them off. They are also dimmable with 3 different levels of brightness. The keys feel nice under my fingers. They aren't clicky loud like the keyboard my kid uses. So far i'm happy with my purchase. For the price, I feel it would be hard to beat it. UPDATE: So, as of November 2022 (so about 3.5 years of use) this keyboard is still going strong. I have successfully worn off the letters from the S and D keys, with the A and C keys barely still displaying the letter. The cat knocked the keyboard off my desk and the space bar flew off. After a bit of trying I was able to get it back on and it works fine again. I feel like at this price point, this is an absolute bargain gem. Final update: I have now started experiencing some functional issues. The usb plug needs to be held in a certain way when plugged in to work. I have decided to retire this budget winner. I got 3.5 years of heavy use out of this inexpensive keyboard. I'm not mad that it broke, just sad. RIP budget goat.

I've wasted so much money on expensive keyboards just to accidentally spill a drink on them and ruin them. As a gamer/streamer, I sometimes get caught up in the moment and lose track of my drink and/or hands and the next thing you know, your keyboard is soaked. With this keyboard, it's not an issue. I have actually spilled multiple sticky sugary drinks on it and it keeps pluggin' away. I have not gone so far as to intentionally spill large amounts of liquid or submerge it to test it. My experience is based on actually accidentally knocking over a drink and spilling a small-ish amount of liquid. The feel of the keyboard is good. It's much quieter then a mechanical keyboard, but louder then a membrane one. The keys have a nice click with decent finger feedback. I'm a gamer, but not a professional by any means, so I don't need a super expensive keyboard with Cherry Switches, etc. This style works great for me. The only downside is that in the time I have had this keyboard, the paint on the S, A and D keys have worn off and the Left Shift, Space Bar, C and W keys are wearing off too. But the function is still 100%! The RGB is limited to Four modes, 3 different sets of static rainbow colors and off. Overall, a solid keyboard at a great price. I liked it so much I bought a second one for my second computer. Highly recommend!

This is the most comfortable keyboard I've ever had for my computer. It's easy to hook up, it's quiet when typing, the ergonomics feels great, the quality is excellent, it has awesome backlighting and this is the 4th one I've bought over the years. Every time I wear one out, I buy another one!

NPET K10 Backlit Gaming Keyboard, Black, Purchased 10/22, Reviewed 10/22/2022 I purchased the K10 budget membrane faux mechanical keyboard. I was searching for a backup budget keyboard because my main PC keyboard gave up the ghost after 7 years. I needed a backup so I could continue working from home, while I waited for the new replacement keyboard to arrive next week. 1st impression: when I grabbed the Amazon package at my front door, I thought, "Wow, this is a heavy keyboard." Opening the package, I was impressed with its mechanical keyboard look, and it looked like a quality keyboard but at a budget price of $20. Of course, as soon as I set the K10 on the desk, I started testing the keypress feedback, noise, and how typing felt. Key travel felt a tiny bit stiff but still good for this price point. Any keying noise was surprisingly low. Plugging in the K10's braided USB cable, the first con is revealed: the cable is too short at 67" long, another 6 to 12 inches would be better. The board's RGB lights lit up, and my Windows 10 Pro PC had no issues with the new K10. The next thing I noticed, which is not necessarily a negative, is that the keys are smaller than typical full-sized keyboard keys. [Update "edit" 4/12/23: I later compared my full size keyboard and the new replacement keyboard I had ordered, and the keypad surface area is the same. (What was different was the K10's top surface has a slightly deeper concave indentation, so the feel is slightly different.)] I am a touch typist capable of 60+wpm so the size of the keypad felt a little off; however, with use, it would feel fine. With nearly 40 years of using and owning many computers and their keyboards, touch typing resulted in some initial missed direct keypad hits, but adjusting was easy. One additional observation: right after startup, a distinct odor was coming from the board, sort of an electrical and plastic overheating smell (note, I had the RGB lights off). After about 20 minutes, it faded, and I haven't noticed it since. [edit 4/12/23 I have been using nearly 5 months most days on my Hosting Music pc and no issues at all.] What does a touch typist think of the key typing on the K10? • Sore fingers. My fingers were tired after 1 hour, and after 2 hours, they were sore. The problem is how I type, pushing down slightly harder than the average typist, who maybe learned to type on a mushy membrane keyboard. I learned on IBM Selectrics, which required a slightly heavier key press. The keystroke travel is higher or longer on the floating keys of the K10 than on most keyboards at 3.6mm, so I have to push further down for it to bottom out the key travel, and if I am typing hard and fast, my fingers are sore. I tested where the action point in the key travel seemed to be; it's either halfway or slightly higher. So if I type with a lighter keystroke and try to avoid the key bottoming out, there should be less soreness. A lighter touch is possible, and the keys feel good as you type along and shouldn't cause sore fingers. I would like the stroke to be a little softer or less stiff. [edit 4/12/23 After some practice, I haven't had any soreness issues.] • "Noise," a comment about YouTube reviewers Any YT review doing their keyboard review on a wooden desk or a hard desk surface with no large mouse pad that cushions and accommodates both the keyboard and mouse is only testing the keyboard's resonance with the hard desk, and that is likely 2x or 3x louder than typing with a keyboard on a desk size keyboard - mouse pad. Typing noise on the K10 sitting on a 32" x 12" x 2-3mm thick pad was very low. •No movement, the K10 on my full-size keyboard/mouse pad does not slide or move at all. The K10's weight and three rubber grip pads on the front bottom of the chassis, plus the two pull-out feet, securely hold the board with no movement. • Key wobble was not noticeable, very slight on the space bar. • RGB lights, are not my thing, but if there was an RGB selection that lit only the key letters and numbers, that would be ideal. However, it's not an option. I have about 27 days to decide if I should keep the K10 or return it to Amazon. I'm pretty sure it's a keeper. [Update: 4/12/23, I kept the K10 and use it almost daily. For the price and for my type of usage, I would recommend the K10. Would it be a good gaming keyboard? I do play games, I tried it for one game, and it was fine, I have never owned an expensive gaming board or typed on one, so I cannot compare. ]

This is a great entry level keyboard that I got for my son who's getting into pc gaming. I was surprised it even worked with his xbox and zero issues. Definitely great for kids that might still be hard on the keyboard as it still has a quiet sound when being used.

exactly as advertised
