Mushy keys, and PS/2 connector (not USB)

Comments about Microsoft Wired Keyboard 500:

Guess I should have read the specs that said "PS/2". I couldn't use this keyboard because I have USB (USB to PS/2 converters work pretty well, but not 100%). However, it's nice to know that PS/2 keyboards are still being made, for those who have older computers. Even without plugging it in, though, I knew it was not a keyboard I would use, as it lacks tactile feedback. The keys are "mushy" or "sticky", but quiet. I prefer bouncy, clicky keys that wake the neighbors. I type 120wpm, so I have a problem with most keyboards, although strangely, I love the keys on the OEM Dell L100 keyboard which came with my computer and is probably worth about $5! If I could find a keyboard with those keys and the Logitech Wave shape, I'd buy a bunch of them!See my reviews on the Microsoft Comfort and Logitech Wave keyboards.

It's the perfect keyboard for me. I like the feel of the keys, and the keyboard is the right angle (not too flat).

Comments about Microsoft Wired Keyboard 500:

We use this for home use,- email, facebook and such as that.
We chose this keyboard because it has a volume control on it. We listen to music of different types and need to be able to make it louder and softer. This works great for that, and the keys are more quiet than the one we replaced. I think when I get used to the feel of the keyboard it will be even better.
