made 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.
@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!
@sil @popey do at least try and find a shop with some mechanical gaming keyboard and some membrane ones and kegwt a feel. Turns out I don't really like typing on mechanical ones (at less the usual MX red). I ended up with a razer membrane keyboard as its softer to type on (I also hate cheap membrane keyboards with a passion)
