Keyboard

[Keith W]

OK I am in the market for a new and decent keyboard, anybody got any recommendations?

I had a Microsoft digital media keyboard 3000 but it gave up the ghost today.

I am currently typing this on my stand by keyboard, a cheap, nasty, key stiff Labtec which is also a small one and not suitable

EDIT: Must be a wired one, don't want wireless

I quite like the Logitech wireless ones. Mines a K350 whatever that's worth? But it's fine.

Perhaps I should say, don't want wireless

Must be wired

Had a peek at a few of them yesterday, any particular model?

Just whichever one suits, I have one of these http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Keyboards---Mice/Cherry/Cherry-Cymotion-Expert-Multimedia-Wired-Keyboard out in the Obs where it can get a bit damp and an older basic one that's kept in the van for work.

In the house I use a Logitech K750 wireless which wouldn't suit you.

I like the look of this one, but pricey for a wired keyboard http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00303FR...de=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B00303FRKM

Really? I'm typing on one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Majestouch-...1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1335718718&sr=1-1



EDIT: With the red Esc key of course....

I had looked at that one but discounted it due to it not having leg risers

Need one with a keypad + far far to expensive

Find a second hand IBM Model M from when they were using buckling springs. Simply the best computer keyboard ever. Mine here in the office is 24 years old now and I've been using it for over 20 of those years. They will claw if from my cold dead hands before I give it up.

Oops. Sorry, mine has a keypad... (see: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Filco-Majes...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1335776293&sr=1-1) but that's the sort of price mechanical (as opposed to membrane) keyboards are...

IBM Model M is a good choice too...
