    I'm thinking of buying a keyboard for my computer with a budget of $20 or less. In the store I saw keyboards that were sold for $5.00 and $6.00. Should I be cautious of buying those ultra cheap keyboards? If so I'm thinking of buying a Logitech Classic Keyboard 200 or Microsoft Wired 500. Both are around $14 and I don't know which to buy. Is Logitech a better keyboard manufacturer than Microsoft or vice versa.

    avoid using generic keyboard. both microsoft and logitech are a very good manufacturer. i think you'll be happy with either of them. personally i recommend getting the keyboard 200.

    All right Thnks... I'll go with the keyboard 200. By the way, why would you avoid the generic keyboards?

    generic keyboard tend to have cheap nasty feel, sometimes broke early.
