Howdy!
So decent el-cheapo corded keyboards are available.
Personally, my favourite commercial keyboard of all time, it has been a daily driver for both home and work for years.

Brand new :)
Dell, yes
OMG KB :)
Agree that these are a not-terrible option. Definitely plenty of better keyboards out there, but at the same time there's heaps of worse office/e-waste keyboards. The volume roller wheel is somewhat satisfying to use.
For $10 delivered you can can certainly get worst not better ones.
But if you want better sure theres plenty but it will certainly cost more.

Edit: aha, seller has changed the keyboard model :(
$52 at Dell direct, $10 here with free shipping. Good deal/offer OP!
I like that it has 2 usb ports at the back, comes in handy!
Does it come with the palm rest? It says it does in the description, but not in the photo….
Dumb question, but can I plug in a mouse on this keyboard or do I have to plug the mouse into the back of the computer?
Im guessing you can. Working on the premise that the usb port on keyboard is just a usb hub built into the keyboard.
And no. It's not a dumb question at all.
(I have this keyboard and) I plug my mouse directly to this keyboard.
Can't see usb port on the key board in any of the pics or unboxing videos.
Oh , just realized it was for kb522
OMG KB $10
Dell used to made a SK 8135 that's pretty cool. Hope they would make a wireless version of it.
Using the SK 8135 right now and love it.
Good keyboard, we used these at uni years ago… I enjoyed using it so much I ended up buying one off ebay.
For a basic Dell Keyboard these were pretty good, I would always try to snag one for myself when I needed a new keyboard (before I got an MX Keys)
Bought one, thanks
Thanks got one
Bought one for my home server :)
Sorry. The following voucher code is not valid: OMGKB522.
Ah sorry, put in in voucher… it goes in discount. Got one.
Cheers for that. Needed a spare keyboard for my home server.
Aw nice, got 10.
If new user could get further discount perhaps. A pop up said $10 off minimum $100 purchase for new users.
When I tried to apply the new user code it said only one code\promo at a time. (or something like that)
Thanks OP bought two! Don't really need it. But who can resist a $10 delivered KB.
Thanks OP grabbed one.
Looks good to me
OOS
EDIT: We have now sold out of the KB522, deal has been updated to the KB216
What's the difference between the 2?
Comparison for you.
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/compare/Dell_KB522_vs_Dell_KB…
Notable. Missing the usb hub on the kb216
216 is also missing media/shortcut keys. (Does have dedicated volume buttons.)
@coxymla: …and the volume wheel :(
Thanks OP, just grabbed one, maybe the last one of KB522 :)
Great deal! Postage alone would cost ~ $10.
Thanks OP, got 3.
One to replace work one (exact same model) and has worked great for years.
1x for Home PC and 1x spare.
Surely you can pick these up on hard rubbish day at an affluent suburb.
Buying one dirt-cheap from a shop is a reliable method of getting one. Hard rubbish picking is a bit more eclectic.
Shame the KB522 is gone but look on Google $25-$30 on average for the better KB522. However who can say no to a $10 Keyboard?
owning a KB522, over 15 yrs, still good to work under appropriate maintenance
Thanks. Ordered 2. I use a wired Apple keyboard with numpad on my PC and it's my favourite keyboard ever, but if it breaks I'll need an affordable replacement with numpad. And if I need a replacement one day then I'll need another spare, so 2 will do.
Brand new?
