Good keyboard?

#1 Post by Killian » Sat May 14, 2011 5:19 pm

I bought a new external monitor for my thinkpad and now have I spent the whole day searching for a good keyboard :lol: .
I would definitely prefer a keyboard without the numeric pad, I never use it and it just increases the distance to mouse. I also prefer low profile keys, I got used to the TP keyboard.
Is there something you would recommend for everyday use?

I found the Microsoft 6000 Mobile keyboard, which uses bluetooth - that's great too, less cables on the desk. Anyone uses this every day?

This

doesn't have low profile keys, but otherwise seems to be a sensible design.

Logitech sells a couple models with scissors switches. I haven't used them, but since the switch design is the same as you'd find in a laptop, I suspect you'd find them to your liking. (Plus, Logitech has stellar customer service and is usually quite reasonably-priced.)
