    My work got a new HP workstation and I used the keyboard that came with it and it was the nicest keyboard I have ever used, the keys were tall, soft and not too hard. I just loved it, any suggestions on a keyboard?

    Hi,

    if you like that keyboard, then why not see if you can order one for your own use? I am pretty sure you can buy it.

    He seems to be talking about a workstation keyboard, I doubt that will be in the same category as a gaming keyboard :p

    Hahaha.

    No.

    Notice how all of the Razer Lycosa marketing talks about the features of this keyboard talk about the things that don't actually have anything to do with it being a *KEY*board? They took a membrane keyboard, slapped a Razer logo and some LED's on it, and brand it as a "gamer" keyboard. From a *KEY*board perspective, it is no different than a cheap $5 membrane keyboard you can buy from any store that sells computer peripherals.

    If you want a true keyboard, then look for keyboards that are good *KEY*boards before you look at all of the glitzy features like colored LED's.

    Deck Legend. There is a *KEY*board. Cherry-branded mechanical switches, and colored LED's since you're convinced that colored LED's somehow make a keyboard aimed more at "gamers". It's a true *KEY*board.

    I think I used a similar keyboard a few years back as well at school, if not the same one.
    Which school were you at?

    Marist-Sion, in Warragul. We had them when we used the Thin Clients but we moved over to workstations.
