    I am currently looking for comfortable external keyboard for my home office. I do a lot of typing and I prefer "notebook style" keyboards. I would like to spend less than 70 USD. I looked at Enermax AURORA but in my country (Czech republic) it is quite expensive (100 USD) and only in English but I prefer that keyboard style.
    I have been also looking at this one: Logitech Ultrax Media but there doesn't seem to be much info.
    When I searched this forum, there are plenty of suggestions but mainly for gaming keyboards which is not what I am looking for.
    Thank you for any suggestions.

    I just use a standard Dell multimedia keyboard for long typing sessions and its perfect. Maybe you should check out brands like Microsoft en Logitec. They make good keyboards that in my experience are very comfortable to work with. In my experience those keyboards are very affordably too if your not too demanding on extra functions like bluetooth connectivity.

    The Microsoft 6000 wireless keyboard has shorter press distance similar to a laptop keyboard. It is slightly curved to make it more comfortable on the wrists when typing.

    The Microsoft Ergonomic keyboards and mice are amazing. They are shaped to fight the natural conforms of your hand and they can survive multiple 10 foot drops onto a wooden floor. The keys also have the right amount of tactile feedback needed.
