Hello, this probably sounds stupid, but I went to bestbuy recently to look at keyboards and it seems they have got smaller!

I have big hands, and it's odd... but I do. So any keyboards for guys with big hands like me?

They're not sausage links, they're big and long fingers and I hate small keyboards that are like laptops!

:p
 
Same here dude, comes with the territory of being 3" shy of 7 feet. If your motherboard still sports a PS/2 port, this one's a pretty nice standard board built to last. It doesn't have any multimedia buttons or what have you. Not sure which one to recommend if you need those.
 
Well...I'm not sure how helpful I can be here...but I've got big hands in terms of long fingers...

I used to have an ultra-x which had me cramped up a bit in typing with the low profile keys...it was always my favorite keyboard up until recently...I've since replaced it with a Logitech G11 and its quite a bit easier to type on for me...the handrest on the front of the keyboard seems to alleviate some of the "bunching" on the fingers and makes things a bit easier.

If you were at best buy you may have tried it out and not had any luck with it though, I'm not sure. Again, this is for a long fingered typer...chances are there is something else better out there too...but just tossing some input out there. If your hands are bigger around than "long fingered", this is probably totally useless :-P

Yep, I am more long fingered.

Thanks for the suggestions all!
 
The logitech G15 is the worst keyboard ever made, stay away from that crap, its not even IBM formatted so its layout is very different. I cant type on one. they simply suck.

I can type 135 words a minute error free on a standard obm formatted keyboard, this one I make so many errors its a joke. The buttons are all shifted where they aren't supposed to be.


Logitech makes crap products. Always have and always will.
 
Never had any problems with my Logitech keyboards.. My G15 feels very good to me and my long fingers. (They're not thick... I have very long thin fingers) That's just me though :) While I'm only 6'1" (Which IS pretty tall for a female though ;)), and not as big as you guys, my fingers are longer than any of the guys I know and the G15 feels fine for me. (Nor have I ever had any problems with it.)
 
I'm going for the Logitech G11. Apparently the G15 has painted keys, which wear out. I hate that.
 
Been usin a G15 for a while now, and have always have log products, given their warranty-any problems I've had, I get spankin new material-easy cooperation. I'm always down for that.

That said, you could also look into Das Keyboards, heard they are good quality products

Im going to support the G15 suggestion. I have large hands myself as you described and I find smaller keyboards to be annoying. that said I love my G15, it one of the best I've ever owned
