Keyboard recommendations?

Sure, you can plug stuff in there. You could probably hook up ten mice if you wanted to.

Thanks! 🙂

Got one more question for you guys.

Is it okay to plug a USB 2.0 hub or extender into a USB 3.0 port on my computer?

edit: Actually, I just got an answer from the folks at Best Buy. It's totally fine.

I’m looking for some help—or maybe just a solid recommendation. I’ve been hunting for a keyboard with these specific specs:
- Flat keys—nothing mechanical, just something that feels similar to a laptop keyboard.
- LED backlighting
- A full number pad
- Wired connection
- Standard US layout (so the symbols actually match what you see on Windows).

Basically, I just want a backlit keyboard that mimics my laptop feel, but for my desktop setup.

Same here, honestly. I spend all day typing at work and these clunky, heavy keys are absolutely killing me.
I just want those shallow, smooth ones that feel exactly like what you get on a laptop.

Hey everyone 🙂

I'm curious—is there actually a noticeable difference in quality between keyboards priced around $100, or is it all just about aesthetics and keycap size? Is there a specific "best buy" at that price point? Thanks 👍

Are you looking strictly at typing feel, or do the extra features matter too?

Honestly, you just have to try them out. It’s all about personal preference.
For me, a Dell KB216 is a solid choice if you're spending around $20.

If you want better ergonomics and a generally decent experience, go with the K350.

That one covers both bases, though it uses a lot of those classic rubbery keys. Some people prefer keyboards that feel more like a laptop.

Honestly, you just have to try them out. It’s all about what you personally prefer.
For me, a Dell KB216 is a solid choice if you want to spend around $15.

If you want ergonomic comfort and a decent overall experience, look at the K350.

Thanks for getting back to me. 👍

I definitely need some multimedia keys. 🙂

And I don't want anything curved; I can't get used to that kind of setup. 😉

What about something like this? I haven't heard of this brand before.

hope they can find some multimedia keys 🙂

not about the curvature, just can't get used to it 😉

something like this? first time I've heard of this brand

Well, I don't know what kind of key feel you're after. That's a gaming keyboard, so maybe it's actually perfect for typing. Personally, I prefer mechanical ones meant for gaming when I'm typing.
Either read some reviews somewhere (like on Amazon) or go find a place where you can actually try one out.

Hey, does anyone happen to have a recommendation for a decent, budget-friendly wireless keyboard? I'm looking for something I can pair with at least two different devices...
I was thinking of something other than the Logitech K380

Hey everyone!

Quick question for you all—has anyone here actually tried gear from eSports?
From what I’ve been able to dig up online, it looks like they're just rebranding Chinese products, but I'd still love to hear if anyone has some hands-on experience with them. I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger on a setup, so I want to make sure I'm making the right call before I commit to 😁
.
This is the combo I'm looking at: paired with their Zeus mouse: 🙂.🙂

Can anyone recommend a compact wired keyboard?

I need something to pair with my phone. Thanks!

The Apple Magic keyboard—it features the same key profile you'll find on an Apple laptop, or even a Lenovo Flex (which, in my opinion, boasts one of the best typing experiences out there). It's wireless via Bluetooth, rechargeable, and available in versions both with and without a numeric keypad.

Using an Apple Magic keyboard on Windows is a joke. The function keys don't match up, you lose the separate delete and backspace keys, and it’s overpriced.

The Logitech K280 for $67 is a solid choice—tested and proven. It's splashproof if you spill something, and the build quality feels comparable to high-end laptops.

Hey there!
I was wondering if anyone actually knows where I can pick up some Krytox 205g0 in person instead of just dealing with the endless waiting games of ordering everything online.
If that’s a lost cause and I'm stuck with shipping, does anyone have any solid recommendations for alternatives that aren't just standard dielectric grease?

Dielectric grease... oops, my bad, total slip-up there

Budget up to $73 max.

So, I was looking at the Logitech K280 ($67), and it actually looks pretty cute. (The keys seem a little soft, so I’m thinking typing might feel similar to my laptop, which is what I'm used to.) My only real worry is that the layout looks a bit non-standard... I'd probably have to get used to it, though hopefully that happens fast.

Someone mentioned the LOGITECH K120 ($30) earlier, and I guess that one would probably be decent enough too.

Right now, I'm stuck using this Sandbox keyboard that cost maybe $17 I think, and honestly, I can barely use it. Typing on it feels like a literal struggle for every single letter... it's just totally inefficient.

What do you guys think? I'm planning to pick something up soon, so if anyone has any recommendations for something functional—or just wants to weigh in on those two models—let me know.

Just picked up a Logitech K280. It actually has all the special characters marked on it, even though it looked like it didn't in the pictures. First impression is pretty solid, I guess.

Does that specific key only come on laptops, or can you actually find a standalone keyboard that has it too?

It is officially time for a new keyboard. My Logitech K360 still functions perfectly fine, but after eight years, I am simply bored of it.
The more research I conduct, the less certain I become about my requirements. Primarily, I am looking for something wireless and mechanical—since I suppose it is finally time I joined the 21st century—but it needs to be relatively quiet; from what I have gathered, I should probably be hunting for brown switches.
At the moment, the Corsair Kclaymore II, the Redragon K539, and the Logitech G915 have caught my eye.
I am hesitant to throw money at a Redragon if it isn't actually worth the investment, especially since I have struggled to find any decent reviews online, and even the other two options feel a bit pricey right now.
I would appreciate some advice; I might as well spend my Christmas bonus on something useful.
Thanks

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could suggest some good mini keyboards and let me know where I might be able to pick one up? My boyfriend is a big gamer and he's been wanting a smaller keyboard lately since he plays on his laptop and finds it much easier to manage that way. I'd love to surprise him with something high-quality if I can find the right one. Any advice would be so appreciated! 🙂
