Whats a good Cheap Flat Keyboard

[Denis_Twin]

Hi, I am used to laptop keyboards and would like to know which keyboard models I should go for as a cheap solution for a flat keyboard of high-enough quality.

So far Ive seen Dell KB216 and some apple ones that are really good but unfortunately I am using windows and not Mac so I am not sure which keyboard I should go for.

Specifically I want a flat keyboard similar to how laptops look, I will be gaming but that doesnt stop me form getting one since my already owned "gaming" keyboard is very uncomfortable to use, a flat keyboard with as little space between the keys as possible would be ideal, similar to the key layout of Dell KB216 keyboard and around this price range of up to 20$ and wired would be preferred.

Thanks!

Coolermaster just made a new mechanical flat keyboard that looks great.

Which Model, does it cost under 20$?

I trust Coolermaster but I am unsure of their Keyboard Products.

 

I am looking for something like this:

Oh yeah, there is no way it costs under 20 bucks, but yes they make great keyboards. For most good keyboards you will be looking at 100 for really high quality, but some keyboards like the one I own (Redragon Kumara) which is a decent mechanical goes for 30 bucks. I was talking about this

I have a Logitech K310 which I'm using to type this right now, but it is an old model and no longer sold. Don't know what if any is a current equivalent but might be a starting point to search around.

I am looking for something closer to a laptop keyboard for desktop use at a low price.

I mostly do typing so I will make use of such keyboard.

Getting a laptop is more expensive than a keyboard.

I mentioned the K310 as it is "flatter" than usual keyboards and also similar to the Dell you mentioned. It was also low cost at the time I got it. Dunno what else to suggest other than a blind search for chiclet keyboards.

 

BTW I'm with you on flatter keyboards. Recently got myself a gaming keyboard, and the tilt even without the extra feet was too steep for comfort. I had to put extra feet up front to balance it out, and pad out the wrist area with a bigger rest than supplied.

Yes, there is a weird shape on them that leaves a gap and it also has height , it also feels like having to press more which in fast typing is not a good idea, even for gaming those keyboards are not that comfortable because we need to do decisive and precise actions, missing a key can be lethal, especially on fast-typing in scenarios of customers replies and such while there is no auto-correct and so on.

yea they just announced that keyboard its not coming out until 2019 sadly looks nice tho

Anyway, thats my current keyboard which servers very well.

Its sort of a knock off of something but it is perfect for anything from gaming to fast typing and I cant seem to find the real brand it originated, it is also out of supply from where I got it from but me and others have used it and is very comfortable to have. It is very silent when typing, very nice feeling when pressing the buttons. Very responsive too.

 

I got the Dell KB216 and it kind of is bad, there is a high pitch sound when pressing the buttons of which the feeling is kinda bad and feel like mechanical keyboardish.

 

Do you have any idea where such a design can be bought from or what its brand's name could be?

 

Here is a photo of the brand ti get an idea.
