Looking for an Awesome Keyboard

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.

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!

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
