Wireless Conference Room Keyboard?
« on: Wed, 10 November 2010, 16:49:55 »
Hey guys, been a while since I've passed through here.  My how the site has grown...

We're redoing our conference room here at work and I'm looking for ideas on a conference room keyboard (I've had little luck finding something suitable yet).  Here is what I'm looking for:

Key Layout - Standard space saver!  The closer we can get to a Model M mini (84ish key) layout the better.  No funky Home/End/cursor key layouts!

Color - Black or Grey.  Nothing red/blue/tan etc

Interface - Wireless, ideally Bluetooth

Key action - mechanical switches would be preferred, but I do not believe a wireless mechanical spacesaver keyboard exists.  We'll settle for the best rubber dome key action available.

Any suggestions?
IBM Model M 1391401 (dyed black) w/ keys from M-13
IBM M-13 Trackpoint (naturally black)
IBM Model M 1392934 SpaceSaver
Several plain IBM 1391401 Ms
Epson Equity Q203A

Hi Mike,

have a look at the Elecom Wireless Compact Keyboard. It isn't a mechanical but looks interesting.

I found it on http://www.geekstuff4u.com/

The Logitech DiNovo Edge is quite popular for this purpose, maybe mostly for showing off because it looks expensive.
A bit big with its built-in trackpad, media controls, wide edges and aluminium wrist rest, and the gloss finish does attract fingerprints. The nav keys above the arrow keys are 2×3 instead of 3×2 also. Of course it is a bit pricey, but it has full-sized keys with what many consider to be the best of all scissor-switches, with 3 mm key travel ... and having good switches what is most important, right?

The touchpad with integrated scroll of diNovo Edge is very handy. If one doesn't type a lot, or doesn't mind rubber domes, it's a good keyboard. Decent battery life, too.

The glossy finish .. yeah, it sucks. Was done to attract the unwashed masses.
