Ask HN: Do you use an external keyboard? Which one?

2 points by keviv 9y ago ↗ HN

I'm planning to buy a mechanical keyboard, probably with Cherry MX brown switches. I'd have preferred tenkeyless keyboard but there aren't a lot of options available in India, so I might buy Corsair Strafe (Corsair K65 is tenkeyless but only comes with Cherry MX Red). I use a Macbook, so I'll map the alt key to cmd which should do the job.

What's your current keyboard? Which one would you choose if you had to buy one today?

I've been more than happy with the microsoft sculpt. https://www.microsoft.com/accessories/en-us/products/keyboar...

I use KUL Se-87. I forget which keys are in it, but I wish the springs were a little heavier. Maybe I just need to learn to type more gently. I use it on mac, windows, and linux all the time (via a kvm switch).

My finger joints are all messed up from decades of typing on computer keyboards.
