Is the Logitech K120 Wired Keyboard worth it?
Yes — if you just need a cheap keyboard for a desk.
No independent reviewer has tested it, so this verdict comes from Logitech's specs and what verified owners say. It's a full-size keyboard with a number pad and deep keys that plugs into a USB-A port: nothing to pair, charge or install. Logitech says it survives small spills, and owners praise how well it holds up. There's no backlight, no media keys, the cable is fixed, and it needs a USB-A port.

How we reached this verdict
No independent expert test of the K120 exists, so we rest this on Logitech's spec page and verified owner reviews. Logitech lists a full-size layout, quiet low-profile keys, a spill-resistant design and a 1.5 m USB cable; owners praise its reliability, value and build, and the complaints are mostly a short left Shift key on their layout, keys louder than expected and a deep, clunky feel.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
