After 8+ years of mechanical keyboards, I got a "silent" wireless keyboard. This shit's gotten very good

I will die on the hill that keyboard nerds went in the wrong direction. Ultraslim silent membrane boards are where it's at.

I use the keyboard that came with my Mac

You are right but that's a garbage keyboard.

Wireless keyboards just be too convenient and passable these days. Even a 15$ Walmart board

Imagine knowing how to touch-type (typing with out looking).

Wordcels blowing the frick out

I'm using a IBM mechanical keyboard older than I am because my wireless one broke and it was cheaper just to get a ps/2 to usb connector and use this than it was to buy an entire new keyboard

I use the xpg summoner. not really a fan of this one's sound but It types well, and the hand rest is the best part of this.

I don't use the RGB, just set it to all white backlight

I still like mechanical keyboards but I'm over the noisy ones. I have a Keychron V3 with brown switches, factory lubed, and they're reasonably quiet and have a good feel. It's probably the best value going for a mechanical board.

I use one of the ergonomic keyboards (Microsoft or Logitech, forget which) and a vertical mouse from some Chinese brand.

$15 Logitech keyboard

$15 mouse with flywheel

Both wired because bluetooth is bad for your brain.

What if I told you that they've made a wireless G502 version?

I have a cheap membrane keyboard and when I consider buying mechanical I just run bucklespring to get the same effect.

I prefer wired. It's not a big difference, but never having to charge or replace a battery or sync or whatever makes life simpler.

I used them for years but recently switched to mechanical cos I got sick of having to buy new ones because of buttons getting "stuck". I love the mechanical but like a tard I bought a US one so I don't have a euro symbol (and no num pad so I can't make one that way either) and every time I remote onto a new work server I have to change the keyboard config.

Meanwhile I'm here waiting eagerly for Black Friday so I can get my first mechanical. Been using the same membrane keyboard since 2011.

Ive been rocking a model M terminal board since 2003

Got a new one for my birthday a few years ago. Can't be beat.

People with mechanical keyboards are obnoxious. We don't need to hear your typing on the other side of the office.

Logitech M220 is a great silent mouse for cheap.

They also have a newer M330 silent mouse but I haven't tried it.

Mx ergo is the mouse I've used for a couple years now.

Still using my ducky from 15 years ago when that's all you could even find and it took a month to ship from Taiwan.

I wrote off Logitech's wireless stuff after one of my keyboard dongles failed after about a month. Still, I do sometimes use their wired G502 mouse. It's a great design.

I got a keyboard with those blue switches a few years ago and used that for a couple of years. It was fun to begin with but started to get kind of silly. I don't need to make a huge noise every time I'm typing something. I'm still using a mechanical keyboard now but I got a new one with quieter switches.
