<br>
Heading a bit off topic here, but still <i>kind of loosely maybe</i> relevant....<br>
<br>
Looking for a new day to day keyboard - i seem to be ploughing through the cheapies, and its hard to find one with buttons in a decent configuration (i.e. function buttons etc sometimes weird shapes or media controls are default and have to hit Fn to get the
F key).<br>
<br>
Most upper end keyboards seem to be geared towards gaming, but im obviously looking for business needs.
<br>
<br>
Whats a good keyboard that you all use day in day out that wont wear out so easily and has good button sizes and placement for hitting the ever important button combos we use often?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Joe<u></u><u></u></div></div><p></p>
