I mentioned here the other day that I was getting used to a new keyboard on my P.C. Quite a few of you wrote to ask what I was using and how I liked it so here we go. I prefer the kind that clicks and you feel like you're working on the keys of an old electric typewriter. A friend who's well-versed in computer stuff recommended one of these…
It's the Redragon K580 VATA RGB LED Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Macro Keys, Dedicated Media Controls, Onboard Macro Recording and to match my eyes, Blue Switches. Yes, it's a gaming keyboard but so far, it works just fine for my purposes…which do not include gaming of any sort.
The keys light up — which I like — but the default is a series of rainbow colors that display in different patterns — which I don't like. It was however an easy matter to find the code to switch them to all-white and unchanging, thus eliminating that drawback. Otherwise, I like the "touch" and I'm quickly getting used to its slightly-different layout from what I had for the last few decades.
Amazon has them for, at the moment, $73. I'm sure it'll be wrong for some people, especially those who prefer quiet keyboards with a feathertop sensibility but so far, it's working for me.
