I'm not really a keyboard snob, but needed something with a longer usb cord. The old one, which I really liked came with a previous computer and has served me well, but the cable was always just too short. So I decided to splurge a little over $30 and buy a new one. I decided to go with the Logitech K310. It's a washable keyboard! Woot! No more crumbs being stuck under the keys or worry about spilling my coffee on it! And it comes with a 5' 9" usb cord so now I can really kickback, put my feet up and game or surf the intrawebs with my keyboard on my lap.

I could live without the baby blue back but you never see that part anyway. So far I love this thing.
I like the idea of it being washable. You will have to let us know how it holds up.
Well I'm most likely never going to dunk it into a sink like you see in the photo but the way the keys are setup it's very easy to clean dust and crumbs from under them. It even comes with a little keyboard brush thingy!
How is the key action? Is it one of those 'soft/short' kind or is it clicky-clacky with lots of tactile feedback?

It's more in the clicky-clacky with tactile feedback, but it's not as loud as some mechanical keyboards. It's very much like a Mac keyboard with more a more solid key stroke feel.
Thanks, I may need to check it out. I'm not sure how much more coffee and beer my present keyboard can take...

Im scared to know your browser history.
and thats saying something!
Wow! A washable keyboard is certainly very helpful - it should also be waterproof against tea and beer! Never heard about this before.
Btw, if you want to use a keyboard or mouse with a short cable (I love my MS soft curve keyboard and I hate wireless keyboards because the batteries are always empty), you could also buy an USB extension cable - much cheaper than a new keyboard 8)
This is the best keyboard ever.

Could you elaborate on that?

I think he did more than just elaborate on it.
I ate popcorn last night. No need to worry about the crumbs. Just tilted the keyboard over my trash can and no more mess. It also has and outstanding typing feel.
