In Reply to: Keyboard with an extra soft touch? - worn out MT
I was in the same boat. I tried the Logitech DiNovo keyboard, which has the absolutely best touch on the market that I have tried. But just right at the month mark, the space bar started sticking. So I returned it. I then got the Logitech S510. The touch isn't quite as nice, but it is very soft. It is cordless, which is another benefit. It comes with a cordless mouse as well. The only "problem" with it that I would change if I could, is that it isn't ergonomically shaped, not big and bulky or shaped with the split shape, but I love the touch. Not having the keyboard split actually makes the reach shorter, and I don't have the problems there.
Also what I do, ergonomically wise, is I bought 2 of the IMAK ErgoBeads wrist rest. I use on on top of the wrist rest part of the keyboard, so I can rest my wrists on it, and it keeps them elevated.
The other IMAC rest I use on the floor, so keep my heel from pressing into the floor under my foot pedal. I use a foot rest, so the pedal is elevated up on that and the pad is on the floor beneath it. Keeps my heels from hurting.
Hope this helps.
P.S. Try going to Staples to find the Logitech selections. I think find they're way superior to the MS ones in their touch. Not spongey.

I got the Logitech (can't remember exactly which one) but it was cheap, cheap, and has a softer click, not completely gone but better than many I have tried, Microsoft included even their 4000. I did not like that one. I have gone through 2 Logitechs and like better than any other. I spilled water on the keyboard so be careful, it will never be able to be used again.
Logitech G15
Try the Logitech G15. Backlit, programmable keys.
Logitech cordless has a very .sm
light touch and the divided keyboard with the rise in the middle. I absolutely love mine. You can the set with keyboard and cordless mouse for $100.00. I got mine at a local computer shop, but you can order it from the Logitech web site.

Is this the one you have? I have it and it's the first time I have had a keyboard where they didn't fade. The letters are sort of raised and almost look like stickers on the keys, can't explain it, but I have had this for more than 6 months and it still looks brand new! Not a bad price either.

Does anyone have this keyboard and if so can you share some insight concerning battery issues? i read where you can keep charging the battery while you work. My question is it necessary then to replace the batteries at any time? I need to purchase a keyboard for a new laptop and I really like the ergonomic keyboards and would purchase this if it is not costly with having to purchase batteries all the time. thank you so much for any info :)
I like plain ol' Dell or Logitech.
I need a keyboard with a light touch, but I also like one that is clicky, if you know what I mean by that.
Does anybody use the diNovo Logitech keyboard? nm

Most of the Logitech ones seem to be less clacky. Put some padding under it, too, if

I have the Logitech wireless and love it.

Same here, I have a Logitech and the letters are worn off, SM
and that seems to happen to all my keyboards. I use canned air and that helps keep the keys loose. I hate having to break in a new keyboard, dont you?

I have the Logitech Wave and I love it...

Logitech 'scissor switch' keyboard
I bought a keyboard about 5 months ago that has the same "touch" as my laptop keyboard. I think they call it a scissor switch keyboard.
I fell in love with my laptop keyboard and was so excited to be able to find one for my PC at a computer trade show. It is so much quieter than my other ones!
I use a Logitech Y-SX49 keyboard. It is not very expensive at all (sm)
In fact, I just ordered a new one after having the first for a couple of years and wearing out the G key of all things. The key type you are looking for is called scissor switch. That is the kind of keyboard a laptop has. My keyboard is just a basic keyboard with a large backspace key (a must for me) and ran about $25 via the internet.
Love my Logitech Wave keyboard sm
It's not as split apart as the tons of other ones I've tried over the years, it's wireless and comes with a wireless mouse as well, smaller than most others, and not as high to fit on my keyboard drawer. I saw it at Costco here in Washington the other day; not sure if they carry it at all Costcos or not.
If you are talking about the Logitech Wave, I have that and love it...
very comfortable and there is not an adjustment period like you have with some of the others...
My Logitech cordless is 5-years-old and works fine - sm
despite tons of garbage in it, though I do try to turn it upside down and shake out the crumbs from time to time, and blow it out with a duster. I also pop off keys and clean under them with a duster that way too. Though almost messed up my shift key, put it back on wrong and it would not work, but figured it out and now it is fine. Bought those stickers to put on the keys where the letters had worn off, but the D is damaged now, looks like someone (not me) dropped something on the keyboard as the D, E and C all are damaged/have marks on the, The D being the worst though, big chunk of it is gone. But still going srong. Would like a softer touch keyboard though, this one is very hard, but maybe that is the key to its longevity? Something to think about (I work ~40-60 hours a week).
My function keys do not work on my Logitech keyboard, sm
I bought a new keyboard, does anyone know how to test function keys?
Did the same thing just this month from the wireless optical Logitech to the trackball
I now keep my hands very much in their most natural anatomical position while rested on the keyboard and mouse (I do QA anyway). Fingers are no longer as tense as they used to be with my optical.
Its the cheap keyboards. I bought Logitech G15 gamer's, heavy, sits in one place, so I don't
Its the cheap keyboards. I bought Logitech G15 gamer's, heavy, sits in one place, so I don't have to move all the time. It was $79 and really much better than those little things that you spend your time with your hands trying to keep in place and your body trying to compensate for the keyboard moving all over the place-- Try it, you'll like it-- or any other HEAVY, GAMER's keyboards. Plus I love the touch on this, much more like touch-typing than monitoring those itty bitty light-weight keyboards that I used to have to watch where I was all the time (fingers) because they moved all the time. Hope this helps!
