A few days ago I broke my decade old Dynex keyboard which I bought for about $15, and am looking for a replacement... but have discovered that these days such a keyboard is apparently difficult to come by.
Basically I'm looking for a keyboard that has:
1. Normal sized keys (OEM profile) with standard layout (no weirdly shaped enter key, or tiny backspace etc)
2. Dedicated buttons or knob for volume control (it can have other media controls but I only care about volume up and down)
3. Standard dual Windows Keys next to the two Alt Keys (no FN key on the right side replacing one of the Windows Keys)
4. (Optional) Backlighting.
EDIT: Would like to keep the cost around $50 if possible
Seems reasonable right? But apparently these things are too much to ask. Most of the keyboards out there with media controls have a stupid FN key instead of the second windows key (which I use sometimes for shortcuts). Why you would put an FN key on a non-laptop keyboard, when you already have dedicated media keys, just to add additional functions that nobody uses
Also many of the newer keyboards seem to have non-OEM profile keys. I tried out the Cooler Master Devistator II which was reasonably priced and seemed to meet my criteria... but after using it, I noticed it felt weird because the keycaps are apparently slightly smaller than the standard key sizes found the keyboards we are all used to.... making me type less accurately. Why would they do that
Anyway if anyone can suggest something it would be greatly appreciated. I've been going crazy the past few days searching and have found nothing.
Thanks
