I did manage to get comfortable typing on an ergonomic keyboard, but it's too tall to type on comfortably on my keyboard tray which slides under my desk. Kept bumping my knuckles on the under side of the desk or pulling the tray way out where the dogs can tear it off easily.
(130lb german shepard/wolf mix jumping up on them tends to make 'em come down easy.)
I gave my
K70 RGB MK.2 low profile to one of my kids and they don't want to give it back, but that's ok as it was too sensitive for my fingers with its low profile red switches. I need some form of tactile feedback now, low profile, wired, and illuminated. I've narrowed it down to two choices but I am fully open to any suggestions that are around $50us or less.
First is the
Razer Cynosa V2. It's a low-profile membrane keyboard, but it's quiet and my fingers like membrane keyboards now. I'm typing this on an old
Razer Lycosa who's "D" key is just about non-functional, but it's membrane and I've always liked how it felt and it lasted many years before the "D" key started giving out.
("A" key is being funky too)
The other is the
Redragon K619 Horus. I actually like Redragon and think they've come a long way, but I'm not familiar with them in anything like the high end so I'm a bit leary. It has mech brown keys which are my fave as they're quiet and have a tactile feel, but I'm unsure of the noise and just in general. It looks like a better keyboard than the Cynosa on paper, but that doesn't always mean it is.
A couple of mentions. I know the Razer Ornata V3 X is almost identical to the Cynosa 'cept it's got mecha-membrane keys...which just means they added a click noise to it. I don't like click noises, they annoy my wife, so it's out. Same for the Redragon K618. The only difference between that and the K619 is that the K618 is wireless and wired where as the K619 is only wired. I don't like wireless keyboards so I'm just spiffy with the K619.
Anyone have input? I overloaded my brain looking at keyboards the last few days. I was using my back up keyboard which is a
Redragon S101 that I've had for ages. It's solid, but the full sized non low-profile was too hard on my fingers and it took a ton of effort for every keystroke. I like the Lycosa a lot better, but it's backlighting is very dim and the "A" and "D" key keep giving me grief. So I decided it's new keyboard time for a low-profile, backlit, wired, easy to press keys but not so easy that just looking at 'em can cause them to type.
(The K70 was REALLY sensitive which I loved when i could feel the keys a bit better, but now I need something a little safer)
Thanks in advance, sorry for always pestering for advice.
