Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.

    If you want to settle for a cheap shitty keyboard, fine. Many of us would rather invest in a nice one.

      You can go to your IT department and they’ll often just give you one. Great to have around as a spare.

      You’re complaining about how expensive keyboards are getting, and saying you prefer to buy the expensive ones? I think I’ve discovered the source of your problem.

        What do you consider expensive? My keyboard was a $120 Das Keyboard. It’s comfortable and it’s also lasted me for many years through multiple computers.

        I’m not sure why you think investing in a comfortable keyboard is any different from investing in a comfortable chair. Sure, I could buy a chair for $20 at Big Lots, but I don’t want to be uncomfortable when I sit for more than 20 minutes.

      But why? A cheap one does exactly the same job without the loud clicking of a mechanical one to drive your coworkers nuts.

      I was never a fan of them before, but I hate them now that I work in an open office workspace.

        A bomb and a lambo do the same job too but I know which one I’d rather drive.

        Also, this doesn’t just affect work keyboards bundled with workstations, it affects the entire keyboard industry.

        How to say you don’t know anything about mechanical keyboard without saying you don’t know anything about mechanical keyboards (:

        You can get linear switches that don’t make the clicky sounds.
