My old workhorse Microsoft keyboard that I bought in 2012 or so is starting to show its age, so I busted out the Dell keyboard that this PC came with. Blech. I don't like the Dell. I find the Microsoft keyboards very comfortable, plus, I love the feature of having programmable buttons 1 - 5 that I can use for oft-used apps. I also like Logitech keyboards, but they don't have that same system of programmable buttons, so I'll probably get another Microsoft one. I don't need the mouse. I have a nice, ergonomic Logitech laser mouse, but I guess it can't hurt to have a backup mouse.
It's ironic that I like Microsoft keyboards so much because I'm super critical of their operating system, and I don't use it. I'm a Linux user. But Microsoft keyboards and mice tend to be nicely designed. A close second choice for me would be a Logitech one, but I would miss those programmable buttons.
The keyboard in the photo I think will work well for me. I like how it's a little bit ergonomically curved, but not radically so. I tried one of the super ergonomic keyboards one time, but could not get used to it. Today's pay day, so maybe I'll pull the trigger on this thing.
Or maybe I should give Logitech another shot? Maybe I could get used to not having those 1 - 5 programmable buttons. Logitech keyboards to have a very nice feel. I'm not loving doing my work today on this generic Dell keyboard. IMO it's worth getting a keyboard you really like since you spend so much time using it.
