Are low-priced products worth buying? Part 17: Philips K334 Wired Keyboard for RMB 9.9: It Works but Doesn’t Work

At present, wireless keyboards and mice are used at home, and they are basically Logitech. I myself use the Logitech MK345 keyboard and mouse set, and the wired keyboard and mouse that come with DELL on the office machine. After checking, the model should be KB216. After use, the difference between MK345 and KB216 is not particularly obvious, but the feel and functionality of MK345 are obviously better than KB216. After pressing the keys of the two, the response is faster, there is no delay, and the sound is relatively quiet. The disadvantages are basically the same, the feedback is strong but the resilience is not enough. Thanks to the wrist rest on the desk keyboard tray, the fingers will not feel too sore after long use.

The worker's deck is small, but the keyboard that has been used for more than 5 years looks good

One day, I saw Aunt Zhang pushing a 9.9 yuan wired keyboard. What kind of bicycle do you need at this price? Just get on the car! After looking at the product page, it really only costs 9.9 yuan, so I placed an order on a whim

According to the guidelines of the article, come to the product page

Then I saw a familiar face looking at you with a wicked smile. Then it says the flagship keyboard, 2-year warranty. God! You can buy the flagship version of the product for 9.9 yuan, which is really conscientious. But does it work? Is it recommended by Lao Luo sincerely, or recommended with no conscience, let's continue to look down

The outer packaging of the product is wrapped in bubble wrap

The outer packaging of the product has a light blue background, and the picture of the keyboard is in the middle. On the top of the product picture, there are words of simple wire control and modest design. On the top of the picture frame on the left is the word PHILIPS, and below it is the model K334, the words wired keyboard, 3 features: plug and play, simple fashion, ergonomics. There is also an anti-counterfeiting mark on the upper right. The overall design is relatively simple, and it is not packed in a kraft paper box because of the cheap price

The back of the box is the product picture, and there are product specifications in different countries, which looks quite international

The side is mainly the product name, model, standard and manufacturer

I checked the information of the next generation factory, Youyuanhongye own brand Sanju SANGEE, Magicware Empire MAGICWARE, these two brands have never heard of. At the same time, it is the only designated keyboard and mouse production base of Royal Philips PHILIPS in the Netherlands, and the only designated keyboard and mouse production base of the world-renowned brand "ViewSonic". These two brands are hard to say.

When you open the box, you can see the product wrapped in a plastic bag and a thin product manual

At first glance, this keyboard seems to be relatively retro, with a sense of cheapness. The whole body of the keyboard is black, but there is the word PHILIPS above the arrow keys, and the font printing on the keycaps is relatively clear. Initially, it seems that the workmanship of the product is average,

The workmanship is generally because the plastic material of this keyboard looks rough, unlike the feeling of new plastic parts, of course, this is only a subjective feeling. As for the details, it is more hip-stretching. You can see that the surface of the product seems to be uneven, which is why it does not feel like new plastic parts. I feel that the keyboard I use is better than this one after scrubbing.

Look at the back of the product, there are product stickers and production date stickers

The production date sticker, you can see that the production date is August

Anti-slip pads under the keyboard

Put the keyboard upright and you can see that there are holes on the back, which means that this keyboard should be waterproof. Of course, the waterproof function of most keyboards is mainly to prevent splashing water.

The USB interface is a Type A interface. There is nothing new and there is no photo. Take a look at the product manual, it is relatively simple

Comparing the Philips K334 wired keyboard with the currently used Logitech MK345 keyboard and mouse set, there should be keycaps, but there is no palm rest

The Philips K334 wired keyboard also has water seepage holes on the back, but it is not equipped with a stand

After reading the product, let's experience this Philips K334 wired keyboard. Although the overall keyboard feels old, the printing on the keycap is relatively clear. But this keyboard smells like plastic, which is a bit over the top. Connect it to the computer and click on the keyboard, you will feel that the keyboard is too soft, weak in rebound, and soft. And because there is no stand and no palm rest, it is awkward to use. For me, this keyboard can't let me type with peace of mind, because there is no resilience, no passion at all, and I feel sore when I type for a long time. Even typing is uncomfortable, let alone playing games. It is estimated that the only way to play games with this is to drop the keyboard. So this keyboard is destined to be used only as a backup keyboard.

For a 9.9 yuan wired keyboard, the Philips K334 wired keyboard has perfect functions and is worthy of the price of 9.9 yuan. From the perspective of use, the overall is relatively soft and lacks resilience. After a long time of use, the hand will feel sore and the user experience is not good. If it is only for low-intensity use, I think this keyboard is fully capable. If you are a game player or for office use, it is recommended to buy a better one.
