Very cheap, the keys are responsive during fast typing compared to other "keyboard users", great for gaming, and very lightweight. There are some holes, which I understand are needed in case of spillage. When typing fast, the keys rattle (a little annoying), if you raise the clave up or down, the keys will stagger, there are no rubber feet, it even slides on wood.

A real workhorse
Defender Element HB-520 is a super cheap compact keyboard in the “just to have one” category that won’t wow you with design or standout typing feel. It simply does the job, doesn’t take up much desk space, and doesn’t get in the way while you type.
The keyboard is membrane with full key travel. The gaps between the keys and the case are small—good for both looks and keeping dirt out. The key legends hold up more than well for the price. For a straight-up membrane board, the key feel is on a high level, and it’s pleasant to work with.
Soft, comfortable keys
People who type a lot will especially appreciate the light, soft press and the comfortable key shape—your finger lands perfectly on the slightly textured, concave surface. As an extra, there’s a small three-button block in the top-right corner for controlling the computer’s power.
The main design concern is the flip-out feet used to adjust the keyboard’s height. They look flimsy and thin, and the latch is like that gopher from the movie Demobbed—you know it should be there, but you can’t see it. While the keyboard is new, it stands fairly solidly “on its feet,” but there are serious doubts it will be the same after a year or two of use.
