I bought three keyboards from amazon and had to return them all. Seems like having a perfect keyboard is really, really hard. What do you use?
I'm looking for something with short run, a wrist rester and island buttons, silent, decent feedback. It's amazing how picky can i be over this kind of stuff.
Give me your thoughts about keyboards!
@arteteco I seem to be using the Dell KB522p now, not too bad. Does have a wristrest. Island buttons you mean pgup pgdown etc? Any sane keyboard should have that. Not sure what you mean with 'short run' though. Is this a mechanical keyboard thing? This one's a normal dome keyboard I believe. Ideally I love laptop keys as that's really light on the touch and not that high.
@trinsec I apologise, did a direct translation from Italian, in Engish is "Short stroke". As for the island, buttons should be well separated, not touching.
I've seen that Dell KB522p, doesn't seem bad, just buttons are very close together and I can't manage to type fast or accurately over there... years of muscle memory, damn it!
@arteteco The KB522p is a normal sized keyboard, if I align this with my ancient Logitech UltraX Premium Keyboard, it's the exact same width. Just that the UltraX has a slightly wider buttons so that those islands are almost touching each other. The Dell islands are clearly seperate from each other. If this helps any.
That said, the UltraX series were the best non-mechanical keyboards ever. I absolutely loved them and they were cheap too. I miss them. This one here is the last one I have and it's badly damaged (but still usable). The keys were almost laptop height, the typing is very light on the touch, and everything just looks and feels great. It's a relatively low keyboard, so a wristrest isn't even necessary. *Sigh* I wish I could get more of those.
