Our take on the HP 400 Backlit Wired Keyboard

The HP 400 is a compact wired keyboard with a plunger-style mechanical feel, a numeric keypad, and white backlighting. It connects over USB Type-A or USB Type-C with a 59-inch cable and auto-detects Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS. Dedicated media controls and adjustable tilt round out the feature set. No current price was provided, so check the live comparison for where it sits against its recent range.
