KMSB Fox 11 Segment with Andy Taylor – A Viewer Request for Mechanical Keyboards
Our segment today actually came as the idea from a Viewer of the Segments on Fox 11. He had mentioned how the keyboards for computers were all smaller and not as easy to use, this focusing on the Older User – Also that they weren’t looking at a Wireless Solution. So we have gathered a couple of alternatives that are easy to use, corded and a very nice touch when typing.
One of the Products to look at is from Logitech G, the Gaming Division of the company. Just like Gaming Chairs can be used for Comfort and not always for Gaming, Logitech G has some great products from Headphones to Mice to Keyboards for Gamers AND the Casual User. We look at the Logitech G Pro Keyboard. QA Compact Ten Keyless Keyboard which has a great feel for the user when typing. You know you hit the correct keys and honestly, I found my typing even faster with this keyboard. It is Smaller yet with a Big Key Feel. Many of us don’t need the Extra Real Estate from 10 keys so they are eliminated. It features the GX Clicky Mechanical Switches Full Height and gives a better experience when typing. It is Colorful too, you can program the light pattern with the Free HG Hub Software to suit your taste and the keys can be altered for Linear or Tactile use, I prefer the mechanical feel. Another great feature, the 5 ft Cable is detachable and can be easily carried in a gaming or laptop bag to use instead of that Laptop Keyboard. The F Keys are Programmable as well great for Gaming or even repetitive typing task. It retails for about 129.00
A little less expensive from another company that carries product for the casual user and the gamer is Razer. They produce the Ornata Chroma Keyboard. This also features a Mechanical Touch Key Switches Mid Height, Backlit keys and can be programmed easily with the Razor Cortex Software. It is a little larger then the Logitech G Pro but does feature the 10 Key and the Cord is not detachable. The Light scheme can be customized as well and the keyboard can be set up for gamers to get the best use of the keyboard with the layout for that game. The Razer Ornata Chroma sells for about 70.00 You Can check out the line of products at Razer.Com
