  Good, but the durability of the fluidity of the touch is reduced

  I mainly use this keyboard for gaming.
  I chose it because :
  - the keys aren't very high, which makes it easier to move your fingers around without having to lift them too much, so you're faster
  - I like the membrane feel
  - very affordable price
  
  But :
  - after 1 and a half years of daily use, the zqsd keys have lost their fluidity, they're a bit harder to press and 'crack' a bit. This noise bothers me, but above all it forces me to press the key harder, which is counterproductive, as I want to have keys that are light to press but still have that little click of the membrane that indicates that the key is pressed.
  But having had a Lenovo that was quite similar in price afterwards, it started to do the same thing after 1 and a half years too...

  Inexpensive keyboard with a pleasant feel

  Having received this keyboard for my professional configuration, I didn't hesitate to order it for my personal configuration, the soft but precise touch having convinced me.
  One small drawback: the keyboard has no media keys, but I compensated for this by installing Microsoft PowerToys and its "Keyboard manager" under Windows to reassign the "pause", "mail" and "home" keys to "mute", "volume down" and "volume up".

  wireline keyboard

  Good soft keyboard, responsive. Good brand CHERRY for cheap. The (-), (_), and (@) signs are not in the same places as on my old "Logitech" but that's not a problem... The blue light indicator which seems too intense for some can be easily disabled. Best wishes.

  Good, thin but solid keyboard.

  Used for home office,
  The keyboard is pleasant to type on and very resistant (regular bludgeoning by a 2 year old)
  It's not a gaming product but it will be a great keyboard for the family PC.

  cool keyboard

  the keyboard is quite pleasant to write on even if the space bar is a bit high (complicated to use if you are used to space with your thumb, even more so with big hands) apart from that the keyboard responds well, no typing problems, and the keys make a nice noise (noisier than a "classic" membrane but not disturbing either)

  Excellent keyboard at a low price

  It's a very good keyboard for a membrane keyboard, the key feedback is good and they don't jam. And for the price it's really great.

  Very good keyboard for the price

  This keyboard is the competitor of the logitech K120 (18 euros at LDLC). I have both (one at home and one at work).
  The K120 is a bit better, but it's very similar, except that the logitech keys are a bit higher, and that's a matter of taste.
  In terms of overall shape, the KC1000 is a little better, the fact that it is long, with a gentle slope makes it quite pleasant to use. The disadvantage of the KC1000 is its size, it is quite large, if you have a small desk, it can be embarrassing, while the logitech is quite compact.
  In the end, I prefer the Cherry.
  It's a classic keyboard, with a standard layout, wired, which works without problem with windows and linux

  As expected

  I bought this to replace a similar keyboard that I found too noisy.
  This new keyboard is not totally silent but definitely more so than its predecessor (and the sound is more muffled, less plastic).
  The product is therefore what I expected, for a reasonable price, I am satisfied.
  The blue LEDs in the middle are indeed a bit flashy. It remains to be seen if this is a problem when used in a dimly lit room.

  A tank!

  This is actually the second one I've bought, the first one having survived years of very difficult conditions and multiple moves.
  For a keyboard at this price, it's just incredible to be so robust and comfortable, thanks Cherry ! :)

  Simple and effective

  I just came from a "mechanical" keyboard with red switches and the transition was very quick. The touch of the KC1000 is pleasant, firm but not excessive. And above all, much less noisy!
  
  The KeyMan software allows you to assign a function to each of the special keys (calculators, mail, etc) and to the function keys (F1, F2, etc). The "programming" is easy and everything works well. I would have liked to have the possibility to deactivate the "crescent moon" key which sends the PC to standby without asking for confirmation!
  
  As it was said, it takes a while to adapt to the multiplication and division signs on the numeric keypad, which are similar to those on calculators...
  
  Otherwise, at this price, it's a real pleasure !

  Simple, cheap and effective

  I found this to be a very good keyboard for its price, perfect for completing a small setup in an IT school, it does its job without blowing the budget.
  It's a good point to highlight, it has a classic entry key, unlike most keyboards in the same budget that have a horizontal entry key, which reinforced my choice for this product.

  Very good

  A very good keyboard at a low price.
  A very good typing comfort.
  I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a while.
  It's a great tool for those of us who are used to it.

  Simple and effective

  This keyboard is simple but well finished.
  The typing is pleasant and the keys are well proportioned.
  I use it for both office work and gaming, and it does the job without a hitch.
  I've been using it for office work as well as for gaming, and it's been doing the job without a hitch. It feels like Cherry quality, yet the price is very well placed compared to the competition, which is generally much more "cheap" in this price range.

  Office keyboard

  Flat keyboard, soft touch, smooth typing, flat keys.
  No multimedia keys.
  Wired via USB.
  Given the price, it does the job well, but we'll have to see how it performs over time in terms of mechanics and key impressions.

  Beautiful but not silent!

  I ordered this keyboard to play online MMO's as I wanted a basic and quiet keyboard. Well it looks good but I'm disappointed with the noise it makes! It's not quiet at all :(

  Very good value for money

  I've been using it for a while now and it's a great tool for me, but it's not as good as it used to be, so I'm going to have to change it once a year to get the best quality.

  Very good

  In the end, this keyboard is very good. In the end, because I had some doubts when I unpacked it. The look is a bit fake, it doesn't feel very solid.
  
  But in the end, the typing is pleasant, as is the position. Perfect for office use.
  
  Good value for money.

  Does its job

  For 15€, I couldn't have hoped for a better keyboard than this one.
  
  This keyboard is nice to use for both office and gaming.
  The programmable keys are functional as soon as the keyboard is plugged in (under Windows 10).
  
  The keyboard is a great value for money.

  No multimedia keys

  No multimedia buttons as the LDLC description says. I was deceived :(
  I downloaded and installed the software to assign the desired "multimedia" actions (volume + and -) to the Mail and Home keys but in addition to the volume + and - action the old action (Mail and Home) is still launched :(((
  Very disappointed...

  Simple and efficient keyboard

  An excellent product that goes straight to the point.
  No missing keys, I use it for gaming as well as for office work.
  Advantage: the keys are relatively quiet during the first weeks of use (this degrades quickly though).
  WARNING: the blue LEDs that indicate the num-lock are very aggressive, I had to hide them with a sticker.

  Nothing to complain about

  The keyboard is top notch for its price, nothing to complain about.
  
  Just a little advice, never let your cat press the MOON button, otherwise your set will be put to sleep without warning.
  
  In short, it's great :)
