For quite a while I'd been using my old PS3 Microsoft Media keyboard with the different computers that came along. Then things started to go haywire and I had to change to the keyboard supplied with the computer. These worked fine of course, but every one was black and for some reason, I couldn't even type with 2 fingers any more and seemed to spend most of my time correcting mistakes.
After a long search I found this one and a 500(?) from Microsoft - what now seem to be the only white keyboards in the world!
It's dedicated USB with media controls along the top for when I want to play music etc. what's more, it was really cheap! About £10 or so if I remember?. also, it hasn't got that noisy clatter so many keyboards seem to have nowadays, instead a more muted tapping sound.
Things for the 600:
It looks the part,
Quiet in use,
USB,
All of the keys are clearly marked.
Things against the 600:
Not enough tilt forward for my liking,
The 'Delete' key should be twice as deep, to make easy finding.
Overall:
A good, cheap, smart-looking keyboard. I'm glad I bought it.

I'm quite pleased with this keyboard. My reason for purchasing had nothing to do with it being white - though I must admit to being please with its appearance.
The keyboard is much quieter than most, which is a pleasant change, though it isn't as quiet as I'd like.
The layout is better than most. It has a nice wide shift key on the right-hand side, though the one on the left is small. Still, compared to most today, it's a step up.
The only function keys (beyond the Esc, F1 - F12, PrtScn, ScrLck, Pause keys) are sound control and the unique calculator keys. For me, this is perfect, as I've never had use for a host of extra keys on the keyboard. I find them extraneous, serving only to get in the way of finding the ones I really want.
The key throw (distance a key must move to make contact) is short. I'm a fast typist, so this is excellent for me. The touch is harder than I'd like, and also not as definitive, so there isn't a distinct feedback telling my fingers that a connection has been made. It isn't bad, but a lighter and more distinct touch would be better for high-speed typing. (At least, for me - this could vary for others.)
It looks like the symbols and text on the keys is deeply imprinted. Though I haven't had it long enough to be certain, most keyboards' printing starts to fade on the most commonly-hit keys by now.
This keyboard has a tail, but it's the longest one I've seen, so has not been inconvenient. Had I known this quality existed in a keyboard with an adequately-long tail, I wouldn't had purchased any of the boards I've had over the last five years - all of which either gradually went bad or didn't function well from the beginning (with one exception that was killed by a spill).
Not included in the description - and a reason that almost kept me from buying it - is that the keyboard has legs that flip out so it tilts nicely. It doesn't have to lie flat on the table.
For the price, this is an exceptional purchase. The quality is at least as good as most I've dealt with in the last few years - though I don't purchase top-of-the-line boards, that is, ones that cost more than £50. However, this one is much better than any of the £20-30 products I've gotten in several years. I'm quite happy with it - but can't give it a full five stars because it just doesn't have the feel that would make the keyboard an extension of my fingers. (I have, though, tried to describe it in a way that isn't prejudicial, since it might be the cat's meow for someone else.)

I needed a usb keyboard urgently and this fitted the bill. More expensive than some basic keyboards (which cost less than a fiver and are very lightweight and flimsy).
This item is slim, well constructed and has keys that don't clack!
Not being a touch-typist I wanted a beige keyboard with clear digits and this fits the bill.
Light-coloured keyboards seem to be deeply unfashionable and difficult to find now.
All in all, this is what you would expect and is fair value for the price

White wired keyboard
After using my black keyboard for about one year, some of the white lettering was already wearing off. Not being an expert touch-typist, I had to struggle with 'blank' keys. Read more
