Hi all,
The last few days I've noticed a problem with my right shoulder. Because my old model M is so damn big my mouse is far off to the side. This couses some problems for the deltoid muscles which are now aching. (First signs of RSI... not good)
Because a "spacesaver" version of the model M is very hard to come by (The Netherlands, ordering one in the US would be very costly) I've decided to try something else. A keyboard with a smaller footprint. Seeing as I rarely use my numpad I could easily do without. I do like a full sized keyboard though, just compact.
So far I've found three contenders:
Happy Hackers keyboards (pricy though)
Apple aluminium keyboard, the numpadless version
Model M space saver (dreams on....)
My actual budget would be around 50-70 USD, less preferred. As an extra bonus, I don't want an all black keyboard. Other than that looks are not that important, I'm currently using a model M after all. What would your suggestions be?
