Why the Amazon Basics Keyboard Is My Favorite Keyboard

Re:Why the Amazon Basics Keyboard Is My Favorite Keyboard by fyfy18 on Tuesday September 03, 2019 @10:26PM (#20873428)

I have a Microsoft Sculpt keyboard and it's probably the best keyboard I've used in a long time. The hand position is really comfortable and the keys have a nice response that isn't too laptopy (I prefer low travel keys). My only complaints are:

- No caps lock indicator - Fn keys are a bit small, and I prefer a Fn button as opposed to a switch - Uses a proprietary dongle instead of Bluetooth

Maybe one day I'll get an ErgoDox, but I need to figure out what switches I like first...

A colleague uses a Sculpt, so I did try it, but the key travel is such a long way from my (wearing out) Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro: that's from about 2004, and has tall keys [1].

Perhaps you could use a tiny widget that shows the caps lock status next to the clock?

I ordered Cherry MX Browns, which seemed like a fairly standard choice — red for gamers, brown for typists. I just hope they're not too loud.
