The Logitech K740 is hands down my favourite keyboard ever, but it's out of production.

The problem is the replacement is wireless and much thicker to accommodate that.

I tried the Logitech G915 but I like a full-size keyboard, they put the stupid "G" keys on it and it completely ruins the ergonomics for me.

I hate the G915. I didn’t realize it before I bought one but my left hand indexes off of left CTRL and that extra column of G keys destroys my ability to use the keyboard because I’m always one column off.

Same although for me it's just stress - I manage the keyboard position with my pink along that edge, but the G keys mean I have to hover it instead. The slight posture change got pretty painful pretty quickly.

I recently picked up the G915 and share the same frustrations. And it's too bad too because the keyboard itself is the best-feeling, lowest wrong-key-pressed keyboard I've ever used.

I'm desperately looking for the same keyboard without the G keys.
