Digital camera reviews of Microsoft Wired Keybard 500
Digital camera Review: MS Wired PS/2 Keyboard
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used many keyboards and, for the price, this is the best by far. I like the key action, in that it doesn't feel like a cheap keyboard, and the best part is that you don't need to install Microsoft IntelliType to make every key on the keyboard work! Just plug it in and it works! The only minor cons to this keyboard are 1) the cord is shorter than on most keyboards and 2) I wouldn't mind if the keyboard was a little bigger. For the price, I'll get used to it! I highly recommend this keyboard!Digital camera Review: Microsoft PS/2 Keyboard

This is a good keyboard for those requiring PS/2 connectivity. It was somewhat high-priced for what it is. It meets my needs well. It is a little narrower than other keyboards of this type which results in some of the keys being placed differently.Digital camera Review: Microsoft wired PS/2 keyboard

I bought this keyboard to replace on that was worn out. It has very comfortable keys and the letters are very easy to read and has several shortcut keys on it. I would recommend it.Digital camera Review: New Keyboard

Summary: 3 Stars
Spent a year or so with this keyboard now and its faults finally came up and annoyed me enough to get a new keyboard. The layout is nice and it's cheap and it works, but its price does show through in some aspects.
For one, it has a pretty bad "multiple keypress" problem, where key presses stop registering if you're holding too many keys at once. This can be a problem in games when you're often holding down movement keys.
Another is that some keys will start to "stick" over time and typing will begin to feel like it takes a lot more effort. The Ctrl and Delete keys in particular. It just becomes annoying to type with.
