CiT KB-738 Premium Mini USB Keyboard - Black

...and I've been using them for more than thirty years!First, I'm grateful to the reviewer who said - and I can confirm - that this is a UK keyboard not US. If I had relied on the product page photos I wouldn't have ordered it. They also mentioned the blinding blue light when any or all of the Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock (used by Excel still I think) keys are pressed on and they are right, a piece of tape across them works wonders.I bought this to replace my desktop keyboard. I chose this keyboard specifically because it was not as wide as my old one which I was always pushing left to make space for my mouse. It was slippery bottomed which wasn't a real problem until I broke one of the feet that tilt it up so had to use it flat and then it would ride towards and lean on my PC's off button without me realizing it until my PC suddenly shut down!This keyboard is so much better than my old one. The keys have a muted sound when pressed and a gentle passive spring back, not quite as quiet as a Toshiba laptop I used to use but nothing like the awful clackety-clack of some keyboards. It stays put - no sliding around - and it has flat large keys (with large white characters) which I much prefer to the concave ones. It has better feet to tilt it (I never really got used to typing on a flat keyboard) than my old one too. It's a delight to use.It came without instructions (or any documentation come to that) which is unusual even for a bog-standard cheapie, but this isn't a standard keyboard as we know so a little piece of paper even with just the manufacturer's name would have been reassuring. The main difference to a standard keyboard is, of course, the 'missing' numeric, etc., keypad. I have never had a need for this so it is not a loss at all. However, if you want to use these characters grouped in this way they are available from centre right down through the keyboard (in blue on the keys) with the Num Lock key (numbers!) and the Fn key (cursors, PageUp/Down, etc.).I should note here that this is a replacement from Amazon. The first one would without warning start 'typing' two keys for my one across the qwertyuiop[] row. This was quite alarming as it was out of the blue and the second 'character' was not always alphanumeric - for example: q became q with Tab, w became w with Caps Lock, e became e with F3. I spent days eliminating causes before I could only conclude that it was faulty. So, in case it was one of a bad batch, remember Amazon's superb return service. They ordered this replacement as soon as I reported the problem to them.UPDATE 09 AUG 2013I felt you would want to know that after about two months of use the F3 key has started to stay depressed. It has only happened twice out of numerous presses - the second time just now, hence this update. I do use it a lot in Notepad (another quite alarming experience when it sticks when no more occurrences of a text string can be found!) probably far more than 'normal' use. Faults aside, it's still the best keyboard I have ever used so as I still 'love it' it keeps my five star rating.

I'm not a fan of anything Bluetooth as I find it is a law unto itself as far as connecting, staying connected and generally doing what you want it to so this is ideal if, like me, you are Bluetoothphobic. It's not the greatest keyboard you'll ever use but it won't be the worst either, so far it all works, is UK layout and it's very cheap. I use it with an old Windows tablet I have on the coffee table for Internet emergencies and it's perfect for that.

Compact, comfortable and lightweight, this is a fine keyboard for travelling with or tablet use. Not so much for heavy use or gaming since some of the keys have a tendency to not press down fully by getting stuck in the frame. They don't really stick there, but sometimes you'll try to press down shift for example and only half the key will be pressed down and it won't activate the switch underneath resulting in not actually pressing it. I bought it for gaming originally since I like the chicklet design but replaced it with a mechanical keyboard which served my needs far better.It is pretty well made and arrived swiftly, however didn't serve my purpose

A neat little keyboard that saves desk space, but is not very durable. The keys are fairly responsive, with a shallow movement range. Within two years of purchase and fairly light use, some of the keys -especially more frequently-used ones such as the space bar- started to stick quite badly and are now almost unusable - a waste of effort and materials.

Really good, was in need of a quick keyboard from spilling coffee on my previous one. Love the smaller design, perfect for my corner desk. Really quick delivery, can't believe it was so cheap, perfect condition, no sticky keys, absolutely recommend. It does turn on with numlock on, so this will make the blue numbers on the key go off instead of letters, however one click and this is turnt off until next time you switch your pc on. Really really money's worth, no loss here.

Bought one of these to replace the keyboard on my netbook which I inadvertently trashed when replacing hard-drive. At this price I actually ordered 2 so that I could leave one attached to my internet-enabled TV.General: Arrived within a few days of ordering on the no-charge shipping option. Packaging good. Was slightly wider than I thought but I must have misread the description - it is about 34 cm wide. It is UK layout with @ and " keys functioning correctly. The "bright blue" (from a couple of reviewers) LEDs for Numlock, Capslock etc have been replaced with much softer green ones.Netbook: Plugged into the netbook and it auto-installed within a few seconds to give me full functionality once more. Response is very good and probably better than the original keyboard. No negative issues. For the cost of this keyboard and the HDD (about £30 total) I have a fully working netbook which might otherwise have only made it as far as the recycling centre.TV: Again, self-installed within a few seconds and ready for use. Works a treat and so much easier than using the remote and on-screen keyboard. Also using this with a 2m USB extension with no problems. Tucks away neatly behind the TV when not in use.
