I just bought the Logitech Classic 200 but am disappointed that there is no manual included. On the upper right corner there is a pause/break key (?). There is no key to put on “sleep” or “stand-by”. What are all the “F” function keys for. A manual would be very helpful. Love the size and compact shape for my small desk area.

The Logitech Classic Keyboard 200 will probably serve a casually user just fine but for me it’s just to cheap and flimsy to be useful.

no buffer on the keys but it is very cheap and very compact. smaller than most and very thing as well. i like it, except it feels cheap when you type on it and feel like it will break soon. the keys are not cushioned. it feels like a spring.

Needed a USB keyboard for my laptop. Honestly, I have no complaints, as it does the job and has all 26 letters of the alphabet (as you know..some of the other cheaper keyboards only give you 24 sometimes 23 letters of the alphabet).
Conclusion: What else do you need to know? If the price is right, and you are looking for a USB keyboard with ALL 26 letters of the alphabet and special bonus of the numbers 0-9 all in one keyboard…THIS IS THE KEYBOARD FOR YOU!!
Do not be fooled by the cheaper version that only give you letters A-V or numbers 1,2,3,5,8, and 9..those keyboards are a ripoff!

I am quite pleased with this keyboard purchase. My former Apple keyboard malfunctioned after light cleaning with a damp cloth, and I decided the Logitech Classic Keyboard 200 USB would be a cheaper and safer alternative, considering I frequently eat and drink at the computer.
The overall design of the Classic Keyboard is minimal and sleek, and the matte/shiny black combo looks nice with the LaCie 1 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive, Designed by Neil Poulton 301304U, and my Marantz reciever. I’m a bit snobby about how my gear looks, and I was relieved that this inexpensive keyboard doesn’t look cheap.
As for functionality, I’m mostly satisfied. Taking the advise of another reviewer, I immediately downloaded the Logitech Control Center for Macintosh ([...]) for keyboard shortcut functionality, and the driver worked perfectly. Besides gaining functionality over basic command functions, the F9-12 keys worked to access Expose and the Dashboard. There are some glitches (such as Shift-Command-Delete opening a box to Clear Private Data instead of Emptying the Trash), and all Option shortcuts are lost, but I rarely use those shortcuts anyway.
After reading other reviews, I was initially concerned about the unique placement of the middle patch keys (delete, insert, home, end), but I actually like the new arrangement better. The Delete key is closer to Enter, and easier to reach. The lower placement of the arrow keys, however, is inconvenient and will take some adjustment. All of the keys are placed closer together than I’m used to, but I have small fingers and appreciate this.
I only have 2 negatives: the keys are somewhat loud when typing, and I miss the volume control keys from my Apple.
