PC Power PCK-126 USB Wired Keyboard

Overview & Key Specifications

From listings in Bangladesh:

It’s marketed as a mini / compact multimedia keyboard with 78 keys. (TechLand BD)

Uses a membrane switch mechanism (i.e. non-mechanical keys). (computersource.com.bd)

Connects via USB, with a cable length of about 1.8 m. (Star Tech)

It supports multimedia shortcut keys (volume, play/pause, etc.). (Star Tech)

Comes with a 1-year warranty. (Star Tech)

Price ranges quoted around ৳ 560 to ৳ 650 in local Bangladesh markets. (TechLand BD)

So, in short: it is a no-frills, compact wired membrane keyboard that tries to pack basic multimedia convenience in a small form factor at a budget price.

What Works Well (Pros)

Compact / space-saving form factor

Because it has only 78 keys and lacks a full numeric keypad, it occupies less desk space. This is beneficial for small setups, laptop users, or tight workstations.

Multimedia shortcuts

Having dedicated media control keys is a useful plus, especially for casual users—no need to hold Fn + F‑key for volume or play/pause.

Plug-and-play simplicity

It’s a basic USB keyboard, so it works out of the box on Windows, Linux, or macOS with no driver installation needed.

Quiet typing (membrane style)

Membrane keys tend to be quieter than clicky mechanical switches. For a shared or quiet environment, that’s a plus.

Long cable (1.8 m)

The relatively long cable provides flexibility in how you set up your desk and reach to the PC tower or hub.

Affordability

For the price point (roughly ৳ 560–650), it offers basic functionality without trying to pretend to be a premium board.

What Could Be Better (Cons & Trade-offs)

Limited key layout / missing numeric keypad

For users who frequently use numbers (e.g. spreadsheets, accounting, data entry), the absence of a dedicated numpad is a drawback.

Membrane keys vs mechanical

While quiet, membrane switches typically lack the tactile responsiveness, travel, and longevity of mechanical switches. For heavy typists or gamers, you may notice “mushiness” or less precision.

Build quality & durability concerns

At this price, one cannot expect premium casing or reinforced internals. Over time, key legends may fade or the membrane might degrade. Because I could not find long-term durability reviews, this remains a risk by virtue of typical trade‑offs in budget keyboards.

Ergonomics / comfort

The compact layout may force unnatural hand positions if your workflow spans wide key groups. Also, there’s no mention of wrist rests, adjustable tilt feet, or ergonomic shaping in available specs.

Not ideal for gaming

It’s not marketed as a gaming keyboard (no anti-ghosting, no mechanical switches, etc.), so performance in fast-paced game scenarios might lag behind more gaming-centered boards.

Warranty / support limitations

The 1-year warranty is modest, and regional support might vary—if the keyboard fails after that, repair/replacement may be difficult.

My Verdict & Use‑Case Suggestions

The PC Power PCK‑126 is a sensible pick as a secondary / backup keyboard or for users with modest requirements:

Good for general office work, web browsing, media control, and light typing.

Great when desk space is at a premium or you want a simple keyboard for casual use.

Not ideal if your priority is high-performance gaming, very heavy typing, or ergonomic comfort.

If you want, I can compare this model to a few alternatives in your price range (in Bangladesh) to see if there’s something better in terms of features or durability. Would you like me to do that?
