I got one of these when I purchased a new Dell PC. The build quality and the usb ports make it a winner for not a lot of cash. The quick launch keys along with the media control keys are sorely lacking in other keyboards. I love the volume wheel rather than the usual button. This is not a mechanical keyboard by any stretch, but it still feels responsive enough for everyday use and light gaming. This is the third one I've bought for other computers. This one will go to my daughter in college. I trust the Dell brand for reliability.

The KB522 is a newer model to the u473d model. The original Dell u473dhas an aluminum chassis which made it very sturdy and great for work, play and typing because it simply didn't move being so heavy. I guess all good things come to an end and Dell moved on to cheaper plastic materials which you can now see in this KB522. It is a great keyboard with media key controls and feels a lot better than most other OEM manufacturers but the weight and action do not fair well in comparison to the u473d. I still highly recommend Dell's multimedia keyboards from this series, they are top notch and there's a reason why the price tag for used is relatively high.

It's not going to be a high-end stunner with all the bells and whistles, but this basic multimedia keyboard + palm rest is very comfortable. I find the scroll wheel volume control better than -/+ buttons, and it provides you plenty of other of multimedia buttons like just about every keyboard does these days. I was shopping for a cheap keyboard for use with a secondary PC that was also comfortable, low-profile and provided wrist support. This Dell keyboard fits the bill perfectly and I'm considering getting another as a backup for use with test systems.
