Pretty much as per the title.

You get used to things and I'm comfortable with it. Have had a couple over the years. Current one hasn't failed but I'd like a spare for if and when it does.

It has a handy volume control which I use and there's a calculator button too.  I just took a chance on a used one on ebay for a tenner but would welcome options please.  Ideally needs to be the same height or less (45mm)  .... I have a pull out tray for it and there's limited space.  Logitech seems a popular option.  I must have had one in the past but can't remember why I changed to this one.

Thanks.

    Ta for the above.  I spotted that and it's out of stock so I registered my interest.

    Logitech are a good option.

    I have a Logitech 780 Bluetooth keyboard which is low profile, separate number section and so far its done 5 years of pretty much daily use (I only replaced the original batteries a month or so ago)

    Edit: this wired  Logitech looks to be most similar to your Microsoft keyboard, currently £9.99 down from £12.99 on Amazon.

    I have both Logitech (K540) and Cherry (Stream) keyboards that I use on a daily basis (about 10 hours per day).
    Both are good but I prefer the key action on the Cherry.

    I have tried much more expensive keyboards and quite honestly felt they offered little for the additional cost.

    There are lots of Microsoft 600 Keyboards on eBay including some brand new ones. 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    Yes, I had a look, thanks. I did mention earlier that I ordered a used one a few days ago. Hasn't arrived yet. Hoping it'll be OK.
