This wired USB keyboard offers a simple, plug-and-play solution with 105 keys, including a numeric keypad, and is compatible with various Windows operating systems.

FAQs

Is this keyboard suitable for gaming?

While the keyboard is functional, its design is primarily for accessibility. It lacks features like anti-ghosting or rapid response times often desired in gaming keyboards.

Does the keyboard have a backlight?

No, this model does not feature a backlight. The visibility comes from the high contrast of the white lettering on black keys.

Can I use this keyboard with a Mac or Linux computer?

The keyboard uses a standard USB interface and QWERTY layout, so it may function with basic typing on macOS and Linux. However, specific key functions (like Windows keys) might not be supported, and compatibility is officially guaranteed only for Windows operating systems.

What are the exact dimensions of the keyboard?

The keyboard dimensions are approximately 445 x 140 x 30 mm (Width x Depth x Height).

Are the letters printed or engraved on the keys?

The letters are printed onto the keys. For maximum longevity, avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Does it include a wrist rest?

No, the keyboard does not come with an integrated or detachable wrist rest.

How long is the USB cable?

The exact cable length is not specified, but it is designed to be a standard length suitable for connecting to a desktop computer positioned nearby.

Troubleshooting
