Looking for computer keyboard recommendations

[Mattias Westlund]

Thanks for the suggestion Michael! However, a keyboard like that would not work for me for a number of reasons. First of all, I'm not a touch typist. I have some weird naturally evolved typing thing going on that is pretty fast, but doesn't adhere to traditional typing methods. Splitting the keyboard in two would send me back to square one and it'd be years before I'd get used to it. Secondly, it doesn't have a numpad. Thirdly, it doesn't have backlighting. And fourthly, it claims to require 25% LESS key force than other membrane keyboards, which isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I don't mind a chunky-feeling keyboard, I just don't want it to sound CLICKETY-CLICKETY-CLICKETY, which rules out a large part of mechanical keyboards. I like a fair bit of key travel and tactile feel, I simply don't want to wake the entire family up when typing away at something in the middle of the night.

Still, that's a cool piece of hardware and I can definitely see that it might be right for some people!
