This is one great KB for the price, if your getting it for an 8 year old. And it's one rugged little piece of equipment as well, and takes the punishment all in stride. It's dropped at least 40 times a day, and well as being stepped on and what not. The best part about it is that it takes the spills - Yes that's right you read it - SPILLS, any and all that my son can dish at it. From Milk to Kool-aid to Water - what ever it is, it can be cleaned up over and over and ready use again. Thanks Logitech for one "GREAT" piece of equipment

This is a Keyboard
Date:May 31, 2013
This keyboard is, in the plainest sense, a keyboard. It's functional purpose is to serve as an input device for a computer. It has no programmable keys, no shortcut keys, and no multimedia keys. This is a basic keyboard for anyone who just wants a normal keyboard. you get all the right buttons in all the right places, you get lock indicator lights, and you even get shift keys. It does exactly what it says on the box.
Oh, wait, no. That's what Microsoft has for their keyboards. This one is exactly the same, but it is so much better. This is by far and away the most sturdy keyboard I have come across. It has been pummeled with typing for two years now, and it even has a light dusting of Spackle from off of my ceiling. It still works. Its keys feel solid like on the old Dell keyboards(remember those?) and despite being rubber dome switches, the keys do not feel mushy at all. I have tried typing on mechanical keyboards before, and I am just as fast on this one as I am on the high-end gaming keyboards. any other keyboard of its kind would have worn out long ago if they had to type out as many essays as i do on this keyboard. Yes, this is just a basic keyboard, but unlike the rubbish you get from microsoft, it is built with quality.
Also, it's from Logitech, so you know you can't really go wrong. Logitech knows how to make stuff.

Can't believe logitech put this out?
Date:May 26, 2013
I purchased this keyboard two months ago from newegg. Already some keys have stopped working. I can't believe it only lasted two months coming from Logitech. I am a huge Logitech fan so this will not stop me from purchasing Logitech products in the future.

This is not the best or quietest keyboard in the world.
But, you would not buy a minivan and complain that it lost a race with a formula one car and rate it 1 star. . .
I find this product to be a simple, capable keyboard, with a satisfying punch to the keys, all at a price that easily makes it a five star rating.

Dollar for dollar, nothing beats the k120
Date:April 29, 2013
I love how this keyboard, for me, is perfectly in the middle of really easy to push keys and the opposite end of a chalky, sticky, rough, hard to press keyboard. In fact I'm using it right now and will most likely use until otherwise. This keyboard makes me look forward to 4,000 word extended essays and online gaming that require exact technical keystrokes.

I really enjoy the look and feel with this keyboard with Logitech quality at a great price. While not as loud as a mechanical keyboard this keyboard makes a decent click while typing. Even though it isn't designed for gaming I have used it to play some games like Half-Life 2 and didn't have any problems.

good keyboard for the price
Date:October 29, 2012
I bought a new desktop computer several months ago, the keyboard that came with it was a bit loud so I took a chance and bought this one. Logictech products have never disappointed me and typing at a speed that I am accustomed to (which would make the old keyboard clatter) is much quieter on this keyboard. It is more comfortable to me and the mouse that came with it responds very quickly too.

stay away!
Date:October 23, 2012
I have used Logitech products for years until now. I bought this keyboard for the numeric keypad on the right. It will not work with Windows 7 and a wireless Logitech mouse. I have tried every fix on the web site. I have installed and uninstalled the driver software 4 times and it will not recognize the keyboard! I have booted and rebooted, installed and uninstalled the hardware. I have wasted hours of time which is ironic as this is advertised as a "business keyboard". If I had customers waiting for me to fix this keyboard I would be out of business by now. What ever happened to plug 'n play?

The keyboard feels cheaply constructed, and the mouse is average. Also, the keyboard tends to bend in the middle when pressed on or leaned on. Also the letters on the keys come off easily.

Swaps command and option keys on Macs

Swaps command and option keys on Macs. For someone who has learned automatic key responses in Photoshop and Illustrator on a Mac for 25 years, I am not going to relearn this just for your keyboard. Also no provision for volume control. Other than that it works well, but have only had it for 3 hours. It is going back!.G

The Logitech K120 is one of the worst keyboards I ever used, and have used a lot of different keyboards in my life. It is absolutely not suited for fast writers. You're never sure (first attempt was 'su') if your keystroke has been accepted without starring on the screen. It's especially painful when you have to type hidden pass phrases. I really don't know why its not possible nowadays to deliver a keyboard quality which we had 30 years ago with IBM or DEC. Please Logitech remember your Swiss roots and produce quality, I'm ready to pay more than 100 bucks for a descent keyboard (with US Layout).

A great simple, basic keyboard.
Date:May 10, 2012
This keyboard is of great quality, especially for the price. The feedback of keypresses is nice and it makes a decent noise when you press the keys. It has the standard key layout and nothing more.
It seems quite durable. I spilled nearly an entire can of soda onto it, I unplugged it and rinsed it out completely with water so it wouldn't get sticky. I let it dry out before I plugged it back in and it still works perfectly.
A great basic keyboard. Would buy again.

An excellent, basic keyboard
Date:May 9, 2012
I have two of these K120 keyboards and have been using them for about two years. I have been very satisfied with them.
The K120 is a traditionally laid out, clearly labeled, no-nonsense wired keyboard for a low price. The labels are bright white, the keys are where you expect them to be, with no re-jiggering of the cursor keypad or the numeric keypad. A nub on the J and F keys helps a touch typist find "home" quickly.
The most important thing is how well you can type on it. Well, I'm pleased to report that the K120 responds as well as any keyboard I've ever used. There's just enough spring and tactile feedback, and no loud "clack". The keyboard feels solid under my fingers, and is small enough to fit neatly in a cluttered work environment; it doesn't have a huge wrist board or stupid curvature that afflicts some other keyboards.
Although Logitech has marketed several other keyboards with rearranged keys, somebody there decided to go back to their roots and came up with this winner.
I have tried wireless keyboards to reduce the wire clutter on my desk, but they inevitably begin to have problems like dropping keystrokes or strangely repeating letters or disconnecting from the receiver. Just not worth it to me. So I went back to basics with the K120 and have been very satisfied. When (and if) these keyboards ever wear out, which they show no signs of doing yet, I'll be picking up another one.
Could it be better? For $14.95 I wouldn't expect any more features, but I hope Logitech expands the product line to include a $24.95 model with specialized function keys for browsing, email, volume, etc. Not a necessity at all, but nice to have.

K120 works, but could be better
Date:April 27, 2012
I am very pleased with the K120 keyboard I purchased for my laptop. I learned touch typing in the 1970's and the laptop keyboards just do not cut it. I tried for 2 months, but kept sliding off the flat surface keys--could not center my fingers without the "dip" so this is great for more accuracy. The keyboard also overrides some pre-programmed function keys on the laptop which is great since I am a WordPerfect person and rely on certain shortcuts on the function keys.
My only grip is that the feet are basically worthless--just too short and do not raise the back edge up high enough for true touch typing. Logitech, would it be so expensive to have 2 sets of feet offering 2 heights?? I also miss a feature of my old Gateway PC--programmable keys down the left side. I had one set to open the calculator and another for MyDocuments--great time savers. Otherwise, it functions fine as does the mouse (I purchased the combo set). I really missed the scroll wheel for those first 2 months on the laptop.
