Model KD-126-1 with blue backlit keys is identical to KD-126-2 keyboard with white backlight. An inexpensive option for those who are used to the classic layout without additional buttons. The popularity of the device used to be justified by an affordable price and a long service life, but now users have often come across marriage.Therefore, the rating of KD-126-1 has recently dropped significantly.

Judging by the reviews, today this keyboard is not worth the money. According to the manufacturer, it should be silent, but in reality, the clicking of the buttons is very loud. Over time, the keys jam, dubeyut. Such a symptom may appear both after a week and after six months of use. Even on newer devices, the buttons are hard to press.

Practical, comfortable membrane keyboard for both typing and gaming. The backlight allows you to print even in the dark, does not hurt your eyes, is adjustable. The keys are pressed softly, the anti-slip coating feels very pleasant. Noise is minimal. The Oscar SM-660L Pro model looks stylish and expensive and lasts at least 3 years. Definitely worth your money.

Disadvantages of the device: ergonomics, no left Win button (only the right one), very bright Caps lock and logo indicators. The problem with ergonomics lies in the uncomfortable palm rest and the bulkiness of the keyboard itself. But here everything is individual. Blinding indicators are easy to seal with opaque paper or tape. But the right Win button will have to get used to. The left one was removed for maximum comfort in games.

The Wired Keyboard 600 is an inexpensive membrane keyboard for the average user. Playing and coding on it will not work - the ergonomics are not the same. If you sit behind it for more than 8 hours, your hands will get very tired.But for basic needs, the model fits perfectly. The device has water protection, multimedia buttons for switching tracks and adjusting the volume, and it is assembled securely. For typing, this keyboard is a profitable solution in the price range up to 1000 rubles. Also suitable for blind typing.

The disadvantages of the model are a tight space (does not work when pressed lightly), too small size of the function buttons and a large key travel. Owners complain about the rattling of Shift, Backspace, Enter, but over time, these problems disappear - the keyboard is being developed.

KV-300H from A4Tech is an excellent solution for those who often print a lot. The keys are pressed softly and almost silently. Rubberized feet prevent spontaneous movement on the table. In the price segment up to 2000 rubles. this budget model is considered one of the best. It looks stylish, easy to use and has a classic button layout. There are 2 USB ports: you can connect a wireless mouse and a USB flash drive.

Disadvantages of the model: lack of multimedia keys, marriage, instability to moisture. For defective copies, the main problem is sticky keys after 2 weeks of operation. Also sometimes there is a violation of the geometry of the case. According to reviews, moisture for the KV-300H is death. The device quickly fails and can no longer be restored.

Logitech's K280e membrane keyboard has a comfortable button layout.The keys are small, pressed quietly and smoothly. The model is silent. According to user reviews, K280e is the best inexpensive keyboard for typing. Suitable for those who print a lot. Due to the protection against moisture, it has a long service life.

The minuses of the model are few, but they are. The keyboard is clearly not a gaming keyboard: ergonomics will not suit avid gamers. Large keys are pressed with a characteristic click. Enter, backspace and space are a bit noisy. The buttons here are low, like on a laptop, which is not very convenient for touch typing. Fn is located on the right - this feature will take some getting used to. In general, K280e deserves the attention of users. The model combines an affordable price, high-quality assembly and comfort in operation.

Rapoo E1050 is a compact model with a declared range of 10 meters, but in fact the connection is not lost only at a distance of 6 to 8 meters, and then without additional barriers. The keyboard is characterized by low power consumption, stability on the surface of the table and the presence of drainage to drain the liquid. In general, the device justifies its cost. The buttons are soft, almost silent. In the process of work, nothing bends anywhere and does not crack.

This model has one significant disadvantage: over time, it begins to lose contact with the receiver.The solution to the problem is to strip the contacts from the battery to the board. Minor flaws: no Num Lock and Caps Lock LED, no kickstand and on/off switch.

The K270 budget wireless keyboard is built solidly. According to users, the model is able to survive more than one fall. She is not afraid of "flooding" with a mug of coffee or a glass of water: there are holes for removing liquid. Connects with a USB radio channel transmitter. Together with the keyboard, you can connect a computer mouse and 4 more devices from Logitech to the PC. Range 3.5 m. Batteries hold for a very long time.

Quiet K270 is difficult to call. Still, the keystrokes here are quite noisy. A short left shift, fragile legs and a tight switch also do not add to the attractiveness of the model. But all the shortcomings are fully compensated by the cost of the keyboard. This is one of the most popular inexpensive models. So she can be forgiven for minor shortcomings.

Classic wireless keyboard. It features a simple design, the presence of interchangeable multi-colored covers and compact dimensions. The buttons are pressed elastically, but softly. In terms of noise level, it is slightly louder than other models from the price segment up to 2000 rubles.

It's hard to call this keyboard inexpensive. She is clearly not worth the money. Too many minuses in the functionality and flaws in the assembly.Disadvantages: there are no additional buttons, the body flexes when pressed, the batteries run out quickly (not relevant for all models), inconvenient location of the switch and Shift, small Enter. Sometimes the response to pressing is delayed. The biggest disadvantage is the short range of the receiver. At a distance of more than 1 meter begins to lose signal.

Light "clave" KB-C2200W beautiful white color has an acceptable cost. Within 1000 rubles. this model is one of the most affordable. The layout is classic, the buttons are pressed smoothly.

The main disadvantage of the device is the frequently encountered marriage. In defective copies, the keys sink, sometimes the radio module "troits": the connection is lost at a distance of 30 cm from the computer. Therefore, users are advised to carefully check the keyboard before buying. Subjective shortcomings: the bundled battery runs out quickly, there are no Scroll lock, Caps lock and Num lock indicators.

Gembird KBW-1 is a budget "clave" with a range of 3 m. The model is equipped with basic functionality, the inscriptions on the buttons are clearly drawn. In the process of typing, the keys are almost inaudible. The exception is space and Enter. They are noisy. The device is compact, takes up minimal space on the table and does not conflict with other wireless devices.

This model does not have tilt adjustment feet, the keys are a little tight on first use.According to user reviews, after about 6 months of operation, it may begin to freeze, the response is delayed, and some buttons unpleasantly sink.

Membrane gaming keyboard at a very budget price. There is an adjustable backlight. It stays stable on the table, hands do not get tired after long games. Soft keys, beautiful modern design and functionality, durable cord are the main advantages of the device. For a little less than 900 rubles, this model has practically no competitors.

The "Werewolf" has few shortcomings, but they are fully justified by the low cost of the device. Owners are faced with noisy operation, low quality plastics and rapid abrasion of the key surface. The gap has backlashes, the buttons sometimes creak.

Standard 301 standard "clave" for office workers. It copes with typing, and can also be used for games where high accuracy of pressing buttons is not required. The set of keys is the usual classic.There is no additional functionality here.

Of the minuses: moisture protection is only in words, the creakiness of the body and buttons (not all models creak), narrow Backspace. After 1 contact with water, the keyboard fails. The case itself smells strongly of cheap plastic. According to users, the buttons are raised very high: it is inconvenient to quickly type text. The keys are loud, so you won't be able to play or work at night without disturbing your loved ones. The Standard 301 fulfills its cost by 100%, but it's still not worth using it as the main keyboard. It is better to add a little and buy a more expensive model.

The symbols on the keys are written clearly, it can be seen well both in bright light and in poor lighting conditions. It is possible to enable additional functionality when combined with Fn.

The black gloss, which quickly gets dirty, will have to get used to. But the bright LED can be removed with wire cutters or sealed with opaque tape.

KB-110 is a convenient and practical "clave" for an undemanding user. Ideal for work, typing and even gaming. Users talk about the high reliability of the device: it can last up to 8 years. The model withstands falls, does not stop working even after filling with water. There are drawbacks here, but the cost justifies them completely.

The disadvantages of the owners include short tilt adjustment legs, the lack of a "Sleep" mode, and a small key travel. Some users may feel that the buttons are very hard to press. But this "symptom" disappears after a few days of active use.
