No-frills keyboard
- Good features
- Comfortable
- Good software
- "Mushy" key feel
- Not as solidly constructed as higher-end keyboards
Budget keyboards are not reviewed often and when they are, they are rarely recommended. The exception is Logitech's Media Keyboard, which is earnestly endorsed by experts and users alike. At less than $20, this is a simple keyboard that is comfortable for general use and has a generous feature set. It doesn't have programmable keys or any special ergonomic features, but in its price range, no other keyboard comes close.
Loyd Case, for PC Magazine, authors the best critique of low-cost keyboards. In this head-to-head he directly compares six models against one another, finding that the Logitech Media outperforms all the rest. We found user reviews at Newegg.com.

Loyd Case's review of six sub-$20 keyboards is the best comparative evaluation of low-cost keyboards we found. The top performer is Logitech's Media Keyboard, which Case praises for being fully featured and comfortable to type on, if "a tad mushy."
Review: Keyboards for Less, Loyd Case, April 19, 2006
In this article, Jeremy Atkinson compiles the results of individual keyboard reviews and other head-to-heads in order to provide readers with a guide to keyboards for every purpose. Each category lists a winner and notable runners-up; the Logitech Media Keyboard earns a spot as a low-cost runner-up in the "general keyboard" category, for its feature-rich design, comfortable keys and functional, user-friendly software.

Nearly 50 owners of the Logitech Media Keyboard have posted reviews to Newegg.com, with almost exclusively positive experiences. Only one contributor rated the Media Keyboard below a four (on an out-of-five scale), and even that review concedes that the keyboard is, overall, very good.
