Hello everyone, I have finally decided to join this forum after spending all day reading articles about nice keyboards, notably Model M, Unicomp, and Cherry switch keyboards (especially Das).
I think I pretty much decided that I really want to get a Unicomp, but I want to do just a little more research before using half a week's wages to buy a new keyboard.
I'm a part-time transcriptionist for a call-in transcription company, so I do a lot of typing. I think I want to get a Unicomp Customizer or Spacesaver, but I can't decide which, so I would like a little input from you guys.
How does the Spacesaver compare with the Customizer? Does the smaller size really make a difference? I would love to get the Spacesaver to have more desk space, if it has the same feeling as the Customizer.
I currently use a Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. I really don't like the feel of the keys. Would a nice-feeling mechanical keyboard help improve my speed. We get paid purely on performance/output.
And please give me your views on the Unicomp, IBM Model M, MS Ergonomic 4000, and any other keyboard you would recommend for this use.
I look forward to becoming a regular on this forum.
