Keyboard?

Hello! I'm not exactly serious about buying a keyboard, but I just want to know what to get if I do decide to get one. I would like something pretty quiet, have a soft wrist wrest, and I don't need any really fancy features like macro buttons. Just a nice, simple keyboard that I could game on occasionally. Budget ~$50

Thanks,

-Bacon

I own one of these, and for a membrane keyboard, it does a great job. You pay a bit extra, but it's a solidly built keyboard.

 

It does have a glossy finish, however, so you may need to wipe it off/clean it off fairly often if a smudged up keyboard bothers you. (It bugged me enough to keep a microfiber cleaning cloth nearby.)

I own one also, and I like it quite a bit.  Its my go-to recommended keyboard for around $50.

Brown switches are pretty quiet but tactile just feels like heaven. Yes I am a blue switch junkie. :P

I love StarCraft
