Keyboards...to delete, or not to delete.

[whulsey]

For me it was all the years of Pagemaker, then InDesign. Was thinking about how long ago that I bought the keyboard I have. Maybe I'd better start looking for another one just as a backup.

Logitech K350 wave ergonomic keyboard...with a large delete key.

This keyboard is actually my second one of the model. I've gotten so used to this keyboard and how comfortable it is that it takes me time to adjust to the keyboard on my laptop or work desktop computer keyboard......flat boring keyboards.

Epoxy a spacer to your delete key for clearance
stick a platform to the spacer
platform can be any size you want

just a thought

Nice Robert...but wireless again.
Although it advertises extended Battery life.
But $80USD is a bit steep for me.

I really don't want to get into modifying a keyboard.
If the key doesn't function smoothly it would irritate me.
If the key was positioned different, or thicker, or higher, etc, it would irritate me.
Because its a key I use so much, it has to feel right.


Anyway, I may have found one that I like...Microsoft Curve 3000

Its real cheap at tigerdirect.
Looking to see if I can get it at my local Staples first.

Just be sure to buy a couple and put up the extras

$80?!? Is that due to the conversion?

I got both of mine for $45. Right now on Amazon, its $39.94. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-K350.../dp/B002MMY4WY
Yep wireless, but the battery life is long. I change my batteries about once a year.

Nope. I live in Canada. Not the US.
Amazon.ca...not .com

Okay, you posted $80 USD up above...guess it was supposed to be CDN$. Even so, that converts to just over $60 US...still steeper than here.

You should cross over to the US, buy it at the local Best Buy or similar electronics store and head home. LOL!

[airdave]

Yeah...I saw $87 and assumed there was shipping cost on top
(even though it says free shipping)
which would have made it about $100.

I then quickly rounded that down to $80US.

$87 CAD is currently $67USD

You just explained why some things cost more.
I have this same argument with people about driving half way across the city
to save 2 cents a litre on gasoline.
It costs you an extra $3 to save $1.20.
Might as well just buy it at the first gas station you see!

Or...the woman in the grocery store who complains that the better Peaches
shipped all the way from Georgia, cost 5 cents more than the crappy locally grown ones.

Actually, we have good Peaches here...it was just an example.
Why? she says. They're the same size Peaches!@

I suppose you don't have Amazon Prime? Free shipping there. But still, its crappy that the same keyboard I am typing on is $20 more there.

That Microsoft curve keyboard looks nice....do you prefer a wired keyboard?
From your link, that Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop keyboard looks interesting. I may have to go see if that's available at the Microsoft store here locally to try it out.
