Hey keeb people, I come here seeking your encyclopedic knowledge.
I have a Logitech G613 keyboard that I use at work that is starting to have a lot of double-presses which is annoying. This is prob the ~3rd one I've owned and they all go out like this.
My relationship with the G613 is much like my relationship with the person I got close to marrying: it's a comfortable arrangement - not terrible, but not good - and it always turns sour over the same stupid thing, in the same stupid way. I go out and try something new, but get frustrated that other keyboards don't "do it for me" in the same way that the G613 did and so I go back to another G613.
Much how I finally cut ties with that person and decided "NO MORE!", I recently replaced my keyboard at home with an actually good keyboard (Realforce R2 PFU). I had bought and used Topre switch keyboards before and knew that they were my absolute favorite, but I stupidly spilled water all over mine, and I was broke at the time and all I had access to was a G613 I bought and never used (...oddly similar circumstances to how I fell in to that previous relationship - keyboards mirror life). I simply refuse to buy another G613.
These are the reasons I'm so tied to the G613 for my work situation:
1) Bluetooth. I have to answer f***ing text messages during the day so bluetooth connectivity with my iPhone is a requirement. I know this is a nitpick, but I am very tied to the layout/function of the buttons that switch between the 2.4ghz receiver and bluetooth. I probably would have already bought a Filco Majestouch Convertible 7 times over, but I cannot stand the idea of hitting a function key + some button. I have felt like I could just get over this but the Majestouch is also missing one other thing...
2) The size/built-in palm-rest. I have god-awful posture sitting at my cubicle, and most of the time my chair is lowered all the way and I'm leaned all the way back (think a leg-crossed variation on the no-life World of Warcraft guy from that South Park episode) with my keyboard sitting halfway between my lap and on my stomach. I'm barely at my desk most of the time anyway so upon reflection I'm probably leaning back in a desperate attempt to sneak in some relaxation at my desk.
3) 108-key/full-size. I need a numpad, and I need it attached to the rest of the keyboard. HHKB would have been another no-brainer but the form factor is no bueno for a work keyboard and so it's out (the type of work I do is not the type of work where an HHKB would shine).
However, I loathe the feel of Omron switches. Big time. I've gotten used to them at this point so it's not so much an active hate of them day-to-day, but the idea of spending any more of my hard-earned money on a product with linear switch gives me angina. I've given up hope for a wireless Topre situation (why don't they just do the same thing with the Realforce R2 that they did with the HHKB Hybrid?) but I would settle for a tactile switch in the same feel neighborhood as a Cherry MX Brown. I also tried the G915, but, in addition to no palm-rest, I could not stand low-profile switches.
Am I doomed to trying to hack something together with an adafruit feather/bluetooth module or a BT-500 from Handheld Scientific? Is there anything remotely off-the-shelf for lazy mofos like myself? I am already starting to feel myself falling back in with a G613. SOMEONE HELP ME PLS!
