AI-generated summary
The Dell Pro Plus Compact Keyboard (KB740) at £41.53 ex-VAT feels like a solid “boring in a good way” choice for office fleets. If you want something that looks professional, types reliably, and doesn’t eat up desk space, this is exactly the sort of keyboard your users won’t complain about. It’s the kind of everyday upgrade that tends to pay for itself in reduced fiddling and fewer support tickets versus cheaper, less consistent alternatives.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it for everyone. If your team relies heavily on a full-size layout (numpad, lots of dedicated keys) or you know people are picky about feel, go and trial it first—compact layouts and key travel can be a deal-breaker for power users. For standard office productivity, hot-desk setups, and businesses standardising peripherals across roles, it’s good value. For hardcore spreadsheet users or typists who demand a particular keyboard “feel,” you may be better off spending a bit more (or at least matching the layout precisely to user workflows).
