Title: ergonomic with blacks/browns?
Post by: dion2k on Tue, 09 March 2010, 09:32:37

All the raving I've been doing since I got my Realforce has rubbed off on my friend and he wants a new keyboard for gaming. The only problem is he uses the ergonomic layout and I don't know anything about those. Are there any ergo boards that use mx black or brown switches?

The Kinesis Advantage has browns, IIRC, and Maltrons have blacks. Then there's the vintage Cherry G80-5000 (ErgoPlus) series with browns.

Unfortunately, you'll typically be spending serious money on any of them.

True in my Kinesis, Maltron.
