Need new keyboard less than 16 inches in length
« on: Sun, 11 September 2011, 22:23:10 »
I just got a new computer desk. Its great but the keyboard tray is only 22 inches in length. This is making it impossible for me to use my microsoft comfort curve keyboard. (Which I adore, I love the laptop like keys)
So now I'm in the market for a new keyboard and looking for a solid upgrade.

I play a lot of fps games (counter-strike source and left 4 dead) and I m also a huge fan of the trackmania (an arcade racing game) series. Both games require a lot of tapping the keys. I can type ok, like 70wpm maxwith my eyes closed, but I m not currently doing a lot of word processing. I m thinking a board with mx cherry brown switches or maybe a mx black switch.

Finally my budget is no higher than $100.

Also, I this is my first post. Nice place you've got here.

A tenkeyless ducky, perhaps? They're available at TankGuys. Check the Wiki for WW shopping links. Apparently they're pretty nice, and you can get blues or browns (I think), for $80.

Risen from the dead for a model F.

Wyse buy colors were GSY for the dark grey, GBA for the light grey, and BBI for the fonts.

No problem. Most TKL boards will fit your size requirements. The price point, not so much. You can get a KBC Poker on eBay for ~$100 shipped too, and they're even smaller. If you're willing to go a little over, you open your range up to include Leopolds. If you're not adverse to used boards, check the Classifieds, or put up a WTB. You can usually snag something through those.
