Hi guys, I've been using a cheap A4tech (I think it's a membrane) keyboard for 7 years and the two key has died and I need to order a new one ASAP.

 

What's the best 10 Key-less (has to be 10 key-less for size reasons) keyboard?

 

I'd greatly appreciate all suggestions, thank you!

Tenkeyless sucks.

 

Just go with something like:

 Cant fit a 10 key keyboard on my desk hence, I can't have one. This is not an option. Do you know how to read?

This keyboard and a tenkeyless take up the same space...

 

Do you mean a 60% (Poker) Keyboard?

Yes. this

So you want a 60% board? 

 

Anyway, the best TKL (IMO) would be an LZ-S in blue. (one of these)

 

The best 60% would probably be a Gonskeyboardworks Nerd60, but if you're uncomfortable building it yourself, you'll be waiting about a year for it to get done.

 

The best 60% that you are probably actually willing to buy/wait for would probably be the Pok3r. It comes with a wide variety of switches, and the backlit one should be out soon, if it isn't already. That being said, you can just get a non backlit one, and add LEDs, since the new firmware lets you do that. 

 

Oh, you could also get a Ducky Shine mini. Those are cool too. (Particularly the year of the horse edition, since it has a solid aluminum chassis, instead of a black plastic piece in the middle...)

 

OR, if you don't want a cherry board, you could get a happy hacking keyboard, or that leopold (I think it's the FC660C), but you likely won't find the Leopold in stock anywhere. That being said, the Leopold currently has an aluminum case dropping on massdrop, if you're into that sort of thing. 

 

Also, you should look at 75% boards. It's a layout that gives you just about all the keys of a TKL, but in a form factor that is one key taller and wider than a 60%. (it's basically a pok3r with dedicated arrow keys, and F keys...)

Hey! New SIgnature! 

 

I'm supposedly a person on the Internet, but you'll never know if I'm human or not ;)

I just want a small mechanical keyboard with arrow keys. So I guess a 75% keyboard? I just don't want the 10 keys.
