Hey all, I made this account to enter a giveaway but I just recently came up with a question I think would be most fitting for this group of nerds.
Recently I got a job with a business services co-op as a scribe typing up financial dictations. The keyboards there are all generic Dell keyboards from probably like ten years ago. They have really flat keys, and a really complex macro system makes the importance of typing exactly the right key very pertinent. I asked the shift leads what they use, but I want to get input from here as well in regards to what keyboards I might want to look at. Some criteria I would prefer:
- Price isn't an issue per se but I'm not made of money.
- I don't need (or want) the board to be silent, but I also can't have it sound like the British are coming to my open office.
- Something not flashy, i.e. no leet MLG LEDs and edgy gamer look ala most MSI hardware. I do want labeled keys and some LED is no problem.
- No media buttons or programmable keys. No use for the former and the latter is strictly disallowed for privacy purposes.
I saw that MX blue switches are good for typing, but I don't know a lot about mechanical keyboards. I'm planning on having this puppy for a long time and making daily use of it for hours a day. Uh sorry if this post is stupid or redundant or whatever, but suggestions would be really appreciated.
