Hi -- I know it's not a popular variety among keyboard enthusiasts, so forgive me if this is an annoying question:
I love the feel of the
Apple A1243 keyboard (MB110LL)Pic hereI use linux, and unfortunately the bootloader (grub) fails to recognize this keyboard (most of the time), which is a deal-breaker because I can't select the OS I wish to boot on bootup. (And even once booted there are occasional issues with it.) I have done a ton of troubleshooting and tweaking of configurations, trying different ports, etc, and can't make it reliable. I also got a second one off eBay but it has the same issues.)
So I'm seeking keyboards that have a similar feel, but I'm coming up empty, and wondering if anyone can recommend anything.
I tried the newer
Apple A1843 "magic keyboard" which worked fine in the bootloader, but I couldn't stand the feel of it.
Other keyboards I checked out at a store that I did not love (this is just what they happened to have):
Logitech MX Mechanical
Logitech MX Keys S (was OK, I guess, but not great)
Logitech MX Keys Mini (also OK, but didn't love the spacing)
HyperX Allow Origins Core
HyperX Alloy Core RGB
Anything else I should be looking at that has a similar feel to the A1243?
Thanks!
