Keyboard HP USB Standard Keyboard DT528A#ABD

The HP USB Standard Keyboard DT528A is a full-size wired keyboard with a 1.8 m USB cable and a straight, no-frills design intended for reliable everyday use. It keeps the same layout and tactile characteristics as earlier Easy Access models but omits multimedia hot-keys. The keyboard offers three tilt positions (flat, 6° and 12°) and includes a spill-drain feature to reduce damage from accidental liquid spills. The painted strip is removable to support recycling.

Advantages

The keyboard provides a familiar full-size layout and tactile response suitable for extended typing sessions. Multiple tilt options let users select a comfortable angle, while the integrated spill-drain feature and durable construction support long service life and heavy-duty usage. The USB wired connection ensures stable connectivity without the need for batteries.

Suitable for

• Office and business desktop use where a reliable wired keyboard is needed
• Home workstations for general typing, emailing and data entry
• Environments where occasional spills may occur (cafés, shared desks)

When it may not be suitable

This keyboard does not include dedicated multimedia hot-keys or programmable keys, so it may not meet the needs of users who rely on extra shortcut buttons or extensive customization. It is a wired USB device, so it is not appropriate for users who require wireless connectivity or Bluetooth pairing.

Key specifications

• Form factor: Full-size (100%)
• Interface: USB (wired), 1.8 m cable
• Tilt options: flat (0°), 6°, 12°
• Spill protection: built-in spill-drain feature
• Mouse included: No

How to use

Connect the keyboard to a computer USB port using the attached 1.8 m cable. Place the keyboard on a stable surface and set the tilt legs to the preferred angle (flat, 6° or 12°). Use the keyboard immediately—no drivers are required for standard operating systems that support USB keyboards. Clean spills promptly and follow standard cleaning procedures; the spill-drain helps limit internal damage but does not guarantee full protection against significant immersion.

What to consider before purchase

• Requires a free USB port and is suitable only for wired setups
• No multimedia hot-keys or programmable buttons included
• Intended as a standard full-size keyboard—check layout and key legends for language/region compatibility

Usage recommendations

For everyday office or home typing tasks, connect via USB and choose the tilt angle that reduces wrist strain. Keep liquids away where possible; the spill-drain reduces risk but does not replace careful handling.
