need a keyboard recommendation


Recommended Posts

Can anyone here perhaps recommend a wired keyboard that has a similar layout and feel as that of a macbook?

I want to buy one for the lappy I use for music making so I can finally close the lid and hopefully reduce the load that's on the video chip a bit...

Don't feel like spending +/- 60 euro on an accessory but on the other hand I've really gotten used to the feel of the, eh, non raised laptop keys so I'm looking for a decent ripoff.

Editors Keys do keyboards with shortcuts listed on the keys for various applications (though obviously they work as a normal keyboard too!) with the same flat profile as macbook keys -

I've one for Ableton on my PC lappy and it feels exactly like the Mac keyboard I have at work

I haven't eaten a Wagon Wheel since 07/11/07... ilovecubus.co.uk - 25ml of mp3 taken twice daily.

I've got this one, and the keys are very flat and annoying as fuck because I hate laptop keyboards and i generally use a mechanical keyboard so you'll probably love it.

if you don't need full functionality maybe check a different model of the same type for something cheaper yet similar in design. I've been using logitech gear for over a decade. It's the best in my opinion. I dropped that keyboard from 3 feet up face down onto cement floors and 4 of the keys popped off, but I put them back on and it still works perfectly.

 

This looks similar in design.

There will be new love from the ashes of us.

Thanks but way out of my budget for now. They look amazing though, definitely on my future wishlist.

This sounds more like it! I'm gonna check out the second one without the touchpad, probably go for black. I can always get out the tipp ex. Thanks man!

But seriously, I was recently looking up keyboards too and wanted to find one that was less like the half raised laptop style keyboards.

 

The one that came with my lenovo desktop is like that and seems like it would be cheap:

looks like you can get them new on amazon:
