Keyboard

I am looking for a keyboard that has soft keys or at least it requires very little pressure to use.
I noticed that slowly I find my Logitech G15, while a great keyboard, harder to type a lot on. Perhaps I am getting old, but still.
I tried to google the above but I kept getting results about softkeys and not what I am looking for.
Soft keys=require very little pressure to type, relaxing for long periods.
It will also have to be quiet one, non clicky, and cheap.
Mechanical keyboards are not that soft (or cheap now days) so they are out.

Re: Keyboard

So you're looking for a keyboard that is similar to a laptop with regards to how little travel the keys have?

The Enermax Aurora Premium might be up your ally if you aren't looking for many bells and whistles.

I hate with a passion any "ergonomic" keyboards that should be renamed fatass. Huge split keyboard = no for me. Sorry.

I can't find it anywhere here.
I can find it only if I import it from the UK and the price for the keyboard alone is £70. Way too much.

I don't trust the brand much, I had some of their products in the past and they felt not...right for me.

Turbo-X Flawless ?ultimedia Black Keyboard (?????????) - ??????????? - plaisio.gr

Speedlink Verso Slim Black Keyboard (?????????) - ??????????? - plaisio.gr

Speedlink Silent Keystroke Keyboard - ??????????? - plaisio.gr

Re: Keyboard

Hmm, the Speedlink Silent Keystroke Keyboard looks way too similar to the OCZ Illuminati keyboard reviewed here.

Re: Keyboard

Sorry BlueMak. I got post happy.

It's retailing in Canada for about $65, which as you mentioned is not cheap.

Re: Keyboard

Rather dead than Razer. I am not going to get a Razer product. Thank you though.

Re: Keyboard

I got this for a friend for Christmas and it seems pretty good for the price: OCZ Elixir.
The keys have a rubberised coating and are not clunky to type.
