I ordered it 2 days ago and it came just now. Since I donated my old clunky dell one, I decided to get a new keyboard. The keyboard that originally came with this computer sucked, so I don't use it really, and the $50 gaming keyboard with built in red lights was really clunky and big. I found out that I'm actually much more comfortable with flat keys. You'd think my current keyboard before this one would do the job, but no. The white keys get dirty easily and on top of that in lacked features and was $25.

This one that I'm typing on right now, was $15 and so far, its probably the most comfortable keyboard I ever used. I was skeptical on trying something from Amazon Basics thinking it was gonna be 99 cents cheap, but its actually really good so far. Its rather noisy than my last keyboard but I actually like the noise this one makes. What I love more is how simple this one is, in terms of features. Volume control, calculator button, This PC button, Windows Media Player button, etc. My last keyboard didn't have any of that, and I also love how this doesn't use tabs. It has like one bar that's part of the body like the $60 iMac keyboards, and like most keyboards today, its USB and plug in play, no additional software required.

I could have gotten the bundle for $21 which includes this keyboard and the AmazonBasics mouse, but that mouse is optical and my ass spoiled to Microsoft's bluetrack technology, so my mouse will remain a Microsoft mouse. Seriously, bluetrack is the best thing I've ever used for a mouse, you'll never want to go back to an optical once you use it. The feed back its just really amazing.

As for this keyboard, it has great travel, feels really nice when you type. Of course its wired, I'd never buy a keyboard or mouse wireless, especially since I PC game, I don't always use a controller.

You guys got anything new that you wanna share?

“I’ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue. Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mutually inspire each other to live - if I’m able to, then perhaps I’ll be closer to portraying a true expression of love.”
I purchased some red hair dye about a week ago and I'm probably dyeing sometime this week. Besides that I've purchased ingredients for cooking. I can sympathize having one of those clunky Dell keyboards and I also prefer flat keys.

Nice!

Yeah, even the ibuypower stock keyboard this computer came with didn't have flat keys, and that sucked. Flat is just what I prefer, it makes typing easier.

I'm happy that this has the calculator button and This PC (my computer) button even, along with a button to launch Windows Media Player, and they all work on the fly. Seriously, none of my keyboards have that button. And the volume control buttons which is a very underrated feature, granted I have my speakers for that but I don't use my speakers all the time.

I don't like the feeling of having to press the keys down further, I type loudly enough already. The keyboard I'm using has a sound dial to adjust the volume and a section which activates my itunes library. If it had flat keys and a backlight it would be perfect.

Sorry I don't have $146 to spend on a mechanical keyboard, which I've learned not to care for after trying one out.

I don't really need a backlight since mine is right in front of my monitor and I can see it fine, but I get ya.

i dont like chiclet keyboards, theyre okay on laptops to save space but theyre hard to clean and when they break you gotta replace the whole thing

thing is if you do actually get a mechanical keyboard it will probably outlive you and will probably be the only keyboard youll ever need for the rest of your life

assuming it uses decent switches like topres or cherries

Yeah I personally don't care for them. I tried them, just doesn't suit my preference.

they make different types of switches for different people, cherry makes blues, reds, blacks, browns and im not sure what else but they feel different from each other

there's also topres and buckling springs, alpine switches, etc

though i guess some people really just prefer flat profile keyboards, they dont make any of the above like that iirc

Mechanical keyboards are fucking awesome. If your fingers didn't orgasm after using one then there's something wrong with them.

Its just my personal preference. If you want one, save some money up and buy it.

Yeah that's one I thought about getting for a long time, but it just isn't for me.

I've got one of the microsoft ergonomic keyboards, it's a weird bloody shape but I know how to type with it perfectly and I actually struggle with normal straightline keyboards now.

The problem is, the key letters have faded away after 3 years of essays, forum and skyping. So it's muscle memory or bust now :I

Damn. Yeah I can never handle an ergonomic keyboard. Those feel really weird for me.

I've had it for about half a year now, I think. I use it any time I play Warframe cause it makes the chat easier. I love using it.
