Help finding a keyboard

ElectronicTechnology · June 8, 2016

I am looking for a wireless full length mechanical keyboard using Cherry MX Brown switches. Macros would also be a plus if it exists with these requirements. This would be used in an office environment and typing would be the main purpose, hence the Cherry MX Browns (Browns would the right switch for this purpose, right?). I've been looking, but I can't seem to find a keyboard that matches these requirements because I think the wireless feature limits the selection down so much. Anyway, any help would be appreciated!

This seems kinda okay, according to ratings, but because wireless mechanical keyboards are relatively "new", I wouldn't really buy one. http://www.amazon.com/XArmor-U9W-Wireless-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B004S862FW If you buy it, make sure that you don't have anything that could interfere the signal.

Nonetheless, I really recommend you to wait. If you really need a wireless keyboard buy a cheap membrane one and wait some time until mechanical wireless kbds get better.

Why you can't go with wired keyboard?

Sorry for the late reply to both of you. @WhiteManito, I did eventually find the one that you linked and went with it. So far it has been working as intended. The only struggle was to actually get it working. For some reason the keyboard itself would show it is connected to the computer, but none of the keystrokes actually registered. Ultimately, I had to reset the keyboard from the reset button on the bottom. It definitely was a weird solution as I already tried that, but it somehow magically worked this time.

@Antony Leung, I needed a wireless keyboard because I was actually searching for one for my mother who I convinced to get a mechanical keyboard eventually (as she works in an office and would really benefit from having a mechanical one), however, she required it to be wireless. I tried to convince her to go wired, and even go as far as showing her cable management techniques that I could do for her to make it seem wireless, but she didn't go for it.
