RE: Tell me about your keyboard

#25
I prefer mechanical keyboards, and have a couple different brands currently. My favorite is the Logitech G910 which is what I'm using to type right now Smile.

- What do I like about it? I like that it isn't as loud as most mechanical keyboards but still has a mechanical feel. It's more light to the touch than most mechanical keyboards. I like the ability to customize the key colors to whatever I could dream of.
- What do I dislike about it? I don't like how large it is. They could have made the frame a bit smaller. It takes up a lot of space.
- How long have I had it? I've had it probably a little over a year at this point.
- How much did I pay for it? It was expensive. It was definitely over $100. I don't know the exact price I paid, all I remember was that it was expensive Tongue.

I also had a Microsoft Comfort 5050 Keyboard that was really nice and it wasn't that expensive, probably about $50. I bought it probably 5 or 6 years ago and it lasted a until this past fall. They don't make that model anymore but you can still buy it on Amazon and Ebay. The curve was weird and took a bit to get used to, but it felt really good to type with and was considered "ergonomic", meaning it was supposedly better for your hands. All in all it was good for most purposes, probably not the best for gaming, but it worked pretty good for me. It wasn't mechanical though, so if you're wanting something mechanical... I also didn't like the Function keys, they were extremely small. Anyway, I ended up getting the G910 a little over a year ago and took the Microsoft one to work until it died on me one day during my shift. I replaced it with a normal Logitech keyboard that was about $40 and it works really good. I was on a bit of a budget so I just bought a nice simple keyboard.
Logitech makes really good hardware and I have been partial to them for years, but I have heard the Razer keyboards are pretty good, so you could give them a try as well.
