    Best keyboard EVER!

    My eyes are extremely sensitive to light, so I sit in dim light or no light when using the computer. I needed to be able to see the numbers and special characters. This keyboard is amazing! The keys are bright yellow, larger than usual and bouncy and extremely comfortable. It is so easy to see all the keys! I thought it would take a day or two to get used to a new keyboard, but I was comfortable with it immediately. I highly recommend this keyboard to anyone with vision issues -- it certainly made my life a little easier!

    My old keyboard had letters worn off (in less than 3 months) I purchased this on sale when I needed to replace the other one. The yellow is quite bright but not too bad. Next to the yellow background the letters are large and easy to see. It has a nice feel to it when typing, and is not too noisy. Very nice value.

    I got it for someone that wanted a num pad and a way to skip songs on spotify while raiding. They tell me how much they enjoy the keyboard periodically, and i got it for 20$.

    Keep in mind, this keyboard is only $20. I have very limited vision and one of the pluses of this keyboard is that I am able to see the keys well enough to use it. When I am actually typing, I am touch typing. The feel of the key action is just awful, but hey, it is a $20 keyboard. For the price, it is a good value, but if you are going to do any serious typing, you should look else where. The only reason I purchased this product is because the one I normally get is no longer availiable.

    Best Key Board to Buy

    This Adesso-Luminous Keyboard- Black/Yellow is a very good key board because it really helps me to see very well with the letters in bold black and the key board in yellow helps me to see a lot better in day light and night light it glows in the dark at night. I am 64 years young and I thank Best Buy for this bless key board that this is the only store that I found this key board on I have been searching for for years to buy. Please don't discontinue this key board because so many people needs this adesso-Luminous-Black/yellow key board. Thank You very much for helping me in a time of need

    Good Keyboard But Not Luminous

    I received a $10 off $20 or more coupon from a BB email so I bought this $20 keyboard for $10 to replace my Dell keyboard because the latter has some of the letters wearing off from constant daily use and the lighting where I have my desktop isn't very bright. The keys are large and the letters/numerals/etc. are easy to see but nothing about this is luminous, it does not glow in the dark at all. For my purposes, it still works, it's still easier to see than my old black keyboard. The keys feel solid and beefy when depressed unlike some cheaper similar "luminous" keyboards I've purchased in the past which is what I was hoping for under this Adesso brand from Best Buy.

    My Mom has macular degeneration and was having a hard time with her standard keyboard so I bought this one and it has helped her see the keys better since the keys are Bigger and Yellow with Black type. So for now it's working, let's hope her vision doesn't get any worse. Local store didn't have it in stock so ordered from bestbuy.com and had it in 2 days, fast shipping Best Buy!

    Works like a charm! I hate-hate-hate laptop keyboards. I have a work-issued laptop. Lifted it up on a stand and use this to type. This just plugs in and away you go. I love the size and feel of the keys. Gives you just enough resistance that you actually feel like you're typing (that's what they used to call it). I'll admit I chose to try this model in part due to the colors-Go Shockers!-but between that, the ease of use, the feel, and the very reasonable price, I feel like I couldn't have done better for what I was looking for.

    Bought this item as a gift for my grandmother, who has macular degeneration. She was having difficulty seeing the keys on her regular keyboard. She says its made a world of difference, and will be able to continue using her computer for longer than she expected. Great product, highly reccomemded.

    My brother loves his new keyboard

    My brother had a stroke years ago and his left side doesn't work well. I picked out this keyboard to send him after I noticed he was having a difficult time with his current keyboard. Because of the lack of motion on his left side, he's a one-finger typist . . . and he very much likes this keyboard! I'm so glad I got it for him.

    Good keyboard, but needs modest improvements.

    This keyboard replaces the first one I bought, which had a key that wouldn't rise back up after pressing it (they sent a replacement quickly, no fuss). The description and packaging say that the keys are "luminous" and "fluorescent"; however, they're certainly not fluorescent (look up the word), and I'd say not "luminous" either -- they're just yellow, with large black characters, so in any case there is good contrast when typing in low light, or when only needing to glance at the keyboard occasionally. All keys could be about a millimeter taller. The ESC key is too small and should be larger and taller; now I have to look to make sure I'm pressing it instead of F1 or another nearby key. A SLEEP button, as on other keyboards, would be a great convenience. The ENTER key has been made taller, and the "\ |" key moved down, unlike other keyboards I use. Having the ENTER key larger (taller) is no help -- I need it wide, like on other keyboards. I've used this keyboard for a month now, and when I'm not looking I still sometimes hit the "] }" or "\ |" keys when I want to hit ENTER. It's not silent, but reasonably quiet.

    I love this keyboard. Since my cataract flared up and it is now blurry or hard to see, I find this keyboard so much easier to read and use without straining. Love the big, bold keys that are a bright yellow where I can read them easy and fast since I have not memorize the keyboard positioning.

    I didn't expect the letters to be so huge, but they are! Very easy for me to see. Keyboard makes a light clicking sound which I love, not overly loud at all. Would recommend!

    Now that I have diminished vision due to macular degeneration I need to have devices that I can see clearly. The bright yellow keys on this keyboard with the large black letters, numbers and symbols are so much easier for me to see. And the touch is just right. But, the one thing I'm not happy with is the addition of the"\" key just to the left of the ENTER key which has made touch-typing tricky. I often will type the \ instead of the enter key with the little finger of my right hand!!

    We needed a larger key board. We tried using lights over the standard keyboard. but that did not work. This one is amazing. It is slightly larger but not too big. No local stores had one that we could see. There were plenty of expensive gaming keyboards but none that would work for us. I was directed to the keyboard section and left alone. After I looked around a while and was leaving a very nice young man saw me and asked if he could help. He checked on line and we read reviews of the keyboard and he ordered it for me in the store. It arrived ahead of time. He went above and beyond to help me...and I do appreciate.
