Looking for an Awesome Keyboard


Recommended Posts

Here's the situation. I've had poor luck with keyboards (or desktops) I bought since the last year or so. Logitech's Bluetooth implementation was ridiculously unstable, not to mention it's performance. Microsoft's keyboard seems to forget letters once in a while ... Am I just unlucky ? Or are the keyboards I got just really bad ? I don't know. But since the last one broke just yesterday, I'm ready to get myself a new one, and I've run out of ideas. So I ask you, what's the best possible keyboard, quality-wise ? Now I'm not a huge gamer, though I like to game quite a bit, and mostly, keep in mind that this keyboard will be used quite often to write code in Visual Studio or in Eclipse.

So, what's the awesome keyboard (and/or desktop) I should get ?

While +CelticWhisper made a good observation that keyboard is just not pretty in my opinion.

I have two reccomendations the Logitech S510 which is a great wireless keyboard with a great deal placed on aesthetics. And comfortable as hell to type on. Although the mouse kinda sucks but the keyboard is really solid.

And the other is a bit on the high end mark and have'nt really toyed around with is the "Microsoft Wireless Entertainmente desktop 8000", it's got zilliion functions and is backlit so it helps on those nights that you only need to see your keys and nothing else.

I've recently been shopping around for a keyboard and setteled on the S 510 due to budget and features. That being said read some reviews you can easily google them up and do the proper research before buying something.

I personally love my Logitech MX3200 Desktop set.

Awesome keyboard, plus awesome mouse. Plus, it's quite cheap.

The build quality is awesome, it's a pleasure to type on (does not forgot letters), and the laser mouse is very precise. That can come in handy when gaming.

PS. it looks sexy too :yes:

I think the standard Dell keyboard is amazing. Plus they are very cheap and very reliable.

Used one of them in college for a year, pretty good, basic keyboard IMO.

Sorry to hijack, but I'm also looking for a good keyboard but it needs to have bluetooth. I don't mind paying for quality, if anyone could recommend one...

Logitech DiNovo Edge is a great keyboard.

im with the guy who likes the dell keyboard. my dad bought a dell pc and i just robbed the keyboard for my pc and left him with the old one lol, but i like its nice and compact.

however, while typing this i have noticed that at slow speed my spacebar squeaks, which naturally will annoy the fudge outa me. ;<

I'd have one of those Microsoft Entertainment Desktop 8000 thingies given the chance ..

some pics .. http://detail.zol.com.cn/91/90748/pic.shtml .. I like the idea of the keyboard starting to glow as you approach it .. nice !

or how about .. top 10 weirdest keyboards ever .. http://gadgets.fosfor.se/the-top-10-weirdest-keyboards-ever/ .. just to be different !!

I have to agree with this. I have an S 510 and was just browsing around trying to see if I could find anything better. I can't. Either the alternatives are two big and bulky or the keys require too much travel. The only keyboard I was sort of interested in was the Apple Wireless Keyboard, but the lack of a number pad and delete key sent me right back to loving my S 510.

I've been using a Saitek Eclipse for the past few years and like it a lot. The top right button turns on/off different levels of the key backlights.

Comes in blue and red I think.

Also, if you happen to like the laptop style slim keys, this is the best damn keyboard you could possibly get for $10.

It's called the Rosewill RK-7310.

i agree with you guys on the dinovo being a great keyboard,

mine broke after about 7-8months (battery didn't hold charge at all)

then the replacement they sent me didn't work out of the box (couldn't stay on or stay connected to my pc, even tried it on other computers)

this all started in january and still waiting for my 2nd replacement

but still it's a dream to have and i've never used a better keyboard!

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
