Anyone have a favored SFF/TKL style keyboard for regular day to day usage as an IT person/developer that is available for sale to match their SFF PC/workstation?
Absolutely not mechanical(must be usable at night or in shared space), keys must be in standard locations (escape, back slash, left ctrl) and must have regular sized cursor, backspace, backslash keys...
The best I could find right now is the
- Micro Center MK-100 Mini USB Keyboard (12.6 x 5.75 x 0.75(1 w/leg out) - not super exact) ($8)
- HP USB Mini Keyboard 87-Key TKL (no longer sold, 2012?)
- Perixx PERIBOARD-407B, Mini Keyboard (12.60 x 5.55 x 0.98) ($17)
I ended up buying the MK-100, i really like the nice key sizes all around. Only really missing the Break key for Hyper-V/VMConnect full screen shortcut and vol+/- short cuts so I don't have to go out of full screen during videos. Happy bonus: location of delete and friends keys have allowed them to semi-enter regular usage because of less interruption to typing.
I found the Perixx too late. Only difference besides it having access to all keys and good Fn shortcuts, is while they seem to have same spacing(they are same size keyboard), the Perixx uses more of the space for separator versus the inland(Micro Center store brand) uses it for the key. I'm happy with purchase, bought a spare. The MK-100 has recessed fold-out legs, fyi.
Anyway, my google-fu keeps getting hit by noisy mechanical TKL keyboards. Finding above was hard. Anyone have something else they like and is readily available?
