Stuart Langridgemade the mistake of thinking that I could do with a new keyboard, and so reading stuff online about it. This is useless; everyone who talks about keyboards is a nutter about them. It's like trying to ask about new headphones for your bus trip on audiophile forums or something.
popey@sil what is wrong with your current keyb? What do you want to see improve with a new one? Size/weight/travel/sound/features? Maybe think on the requirements before trying to whittle down all keyboard options from top down?
@popey the problem is that I don't know. What's wrong with my current keyboard is that it's the one that came with the Acer Aspire One; it's my fallback, after my cheap logitech broke. It lives on my desk always so I don't worry about travel or size or weight, and I don't need features much, I don't think? But I mostly don't know enough about this to even know what I don't know. I have low requirements here, though!
unattributed 𓂃✍︎@unattributed @popey I'm not sure. I mean, obviously, having no wire is in general a good thing, because there's less to get tangled up on my desk, but it never goes anywhere other than the desk, and the cheap one I've been using for six months has a wire, so it's not the end of the world. plus you never have to put batteries in
@sil @popey Okay - safe bet is Keychron. Their C2 keyboard is inexpensive, wired, full size, and not all the mumbo jumbo stuff you get with custom keyboards.
