I'm a heavy typist, medical transcriptionist.  I need a 10 keyless blue-switch mechanical keyboard with backlight, tilt legs, caps lock light and compatibility with a KVM SOHO KVM switch - normally key code "scroll, scroll, down arrow" - - there are too many out there to differentiate.  Am typing this on a Quick Rapid Fire whose keys are worn out and I have to manually click my KVM switch to go to another computer.  My other keyboard just purchased one month ago is a DAS 4C Professional and is not KVM compatible (must manually switch over).  Not impressed with Das Keyboard for my needs.  Those keys have worn out also (meaning the lettering on the key itself).  It has to be clicky, fast, and I am exhausted trying to find one.  Any keyboard experts out there can point me in the right direction - I would be so thankful :)) ;)

It seems to me you need better keycaps. I'd advise only keyboards with PBT keycaps that are not printed, but double-shot injected or equivalent.

 

Or just order a different set of caps.

Pascal Undervolting topic, get more out of your card with less power!

Why high refreshrate monitors look better even without Freesync/G-sync in one image.
Stutters, framedrops, "lag". How to provide detailed information with your "bottleneck" question, as well as a few solutions.

Ah, ok. I have ABS keycaps then, lol.

 

My Filco Majestouch 2 also has ABS caps, been meaning to switch them but delivery to the Netherlands is expensive. We have no local importer.

That stinks. If you ever need a proxy (shipping them to someone to ship it to you), just contact me on here.

Okay, that is helpful for the keys that are worn out - any suggestions about fast, clicky, backlit blue-switch boards that are KVM compatible ?  I like that the keys can be changed out; however, KVM compatibility is top of the list - any suggestions or direction here, thanks :):)
