£32.05 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
The HP 455 Programmable Wireless Keyboard for £26.82 ex-VAT is exactly the sort of “get something decent on the desk” buy I’d consider for small teams—light, practical, and with programmable keys that can save time on repetitive shortcuts. In day-to-day office work (and basic admin tasks), the value is in convenience: quick access to the handful of actions people actually use, without needing to hunt through menus. If your staff are mostly using standard Windows apps, this is likely to feel painless rather than fiddly.
That said, I wouldn’t buy this if you need a keyboard for heavy daily typing, quiet surroundings, or tight ergonomics—this price bracket usually means it’s geared for function over feel. Also, “programmable” can be either a delight or a headache depending on how easy the software is to set up and how well it keeps profiles across users/devices. If your team shares machines or uses multiple computers, it’s worth checking how programming behaves in that real scenario. Overall: good value for basic productivity and shortcut-driven workflows; not the one I’d choose for demanding power users or anyone who cares a lot about premium typing comfort.
