The SK-1688U/B keyboard from Lite-On provides another choice amongst affordable, entry-level keyboards. The fundamentals of the SK-1688U/B are all standard – the 104-key layout you're used to, ubiquitous USB interface for plug'n'play connection and most importantly the black hue suggesting this is a substantial company for your work, neither showy nor cocky.

Thanks to the successful cost management, The SK-1688U/B gives a rather quality offer at such a budget price. The keystroke feedback is delightfully tactile; the tapping is quiet; the base is rugged; the space key is generously large, and…What else you want to expect? Just get it and explore by yourself.

  • newegg Standard 104-key Layout The Lite-on SK-1688U/B features the standard 104-key layout for no learning curve.
  • newegg USB Port The Lite-on SK-1688U/B features a USB port for hot-pluggability and easy connections to computers without the need for any software drivers, resulting in excellent compatibility with current desktop and notebook computers.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat keyboard

Pros: Fairly silent (to me, spacebar is the exception)
Plug 'n' Play
Cheap

Cons: It doesn't light up like the rest of my build, but hey for 8 bucks I'll take that loss.

Other Thoughts: Being cheap does not mean the construction but rather the price. I have never owned anything more than a pre-bundled keyboard, but I have used other gaming keyboards at friend's houses. For the price though it does everything I want it to and more.

5 out of 5 eggsSimply The Best Keyboard ever!

Pros: This is Simply The Best Keyboard ever!
Very durable! Perfect to the touch, very easy to type!
I actually had this same one in PS/2 for 3 years and it has never failed and the letter havent faded much at all!

I've seen other expensive keyboards fail within a year, but this sub $10 one is simply PERFECT!

So I purchased it in USB from here, and it's even better than I expected, very easy to type, it's very DURABLE!

No extra useless keys, it's awesome that there's a real keyboard with just the basic keys as PC always intended to be!

Cons: NONE AT ALL, and I MEAN IT!

Other Thoughts: Anyway, I cant stress enough how much THIS PRODUCT IS GREAT!

1 out of 5 eggsBad for gaming

Pros: It's cheap

Cons: It's cheap
No extra buttons
Can only send two keys at a time
Cable is too short for any normal desk

Other Thoughts: I bought this to be a cheap replacement to a wireless keyboard that kept dropping signal. Well, I got what I paid for.

I wanted to primarily game with this keyboard, but it can only send 2 two keys at a time. That is not nearly enough. Don't buy this if you're playing a game that uses wads for movement. You won't be able to do the things you need to do, like running and jumping sideways at the same time!

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Very solid and heavy for being so inexpensive. Unlike other cheap keyboards, it doesn't feel like I could easily snap it in half

Cons: It doesn't have any extras like volume adjustment, etc - but I wouldn't expect any on a keyboard this inexpensive

5 out of 5 eggsGreat keyboard for a great price

Pros: Price and solid quality. This was my first lite-on keyboard purchase after many DVD drives and I'm impressed. For a no-frills keyboard these are great. I run a repair business and keep these as replacement keyboards for my clients, and use one on my system. Over 400 reviews and five eggs should vouch for this products value and ease of use.

Cons: Thicker and heavier than some keyboards, but I feel that shows it's built better than the cheapo ones.

Other Thoughts: For the price and quality you can't go wrong. Keys feel nice and respond well, cord is thick. If you have a business or are doing builds these are nice affordable keyboards that will meet the needs of most. I bought 4 because I needed USB.

5 out of 5 eggsNice keyboard!

Pros: Color me simple, but I like a simple keyboard, without any extra multimedia keys or other whistles and bells. This one has a great feel (I'm a touch typist averaging approximately 70 wpm). Works out of the box with PCLinuxOS.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Excellent price! Only $7.99!!

4 out of 5 eggsOutstanding Value!

Pros: Don't know how long it will last, but it feels excellent to the touch and seems well made. How can they make these so cheap???? Bought this for a system I am selling.

Cons: None

5 out of 5 eggsSolid

Pros: Basic, solid, and reliable. There are no indications of the brand anywhere on it, so it is about as basic as it gets. The keys are nice and firm, make a nice noise, and the keyboard is easy to use.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Don't expect any of the luxuries you may find with a more expensive keyboard, such as USB ports or volume controls.

Buy this if you are not picky and simply need a cheap, reliable keyboard and nothing more.

5 out of 5 eggsWorks well but letters fade

Pros: good easy touching keys

Cons: after so long the letters fade and i haven't had the keybord long

Other Thoughts: might check in to the lasting of the printed keys the letters rub off, if your an every day user this keyboard isn't for you
