EPTThis is tricky because I don't mean the larger-keyed keyboards for
visually impaired users, but an proportionally expanded outward and upward frame,
also more space in between the keys?
Is there such a keyboard?

Is there such a keyboard? Virtually all mechanicals have the same key size and negligible difference in spacing between the keys. | ||

Should I get a wasd keyboard or a cmstorm stealth? I am looking for a tenkeyless because its annoying on how big the keyboard is. I use cherry mx Brown. I wanted to get a filico but it seems like the only tk they have is black mx. Are there other tk you recommend besides what I said? | ||

However I think there maybe an issue with them switching manufactures so read up on them. I think maybe some models are still made by costar. Filco also uses costart to make their boards. I know the one I have is amazing but it's 3 or 4 years old by now. | ||

I was thinking about a das but not tk | ||

But from the clicks, blues are loudest, yeah. There are plenty of YouTube demos for the different switch types, especially blue vs. brown. edit: errr, actually, the switches themselves (not the keys) the blues would be a lot louder. I guess that's what was actually asked. It's just that things other than the switches make noise too. | ||

You could put in multiple o-rings for each key if you really wanted. And you can also buy them from other sources, though you need to get something of the exact size, and the hardness, height (thickness), and materials may be different than the exact models found on WASD. The complaint with many keyboards these days, especially on laptops, is that key travel distances are too short, not too long. Then again, you have to bottom out on most of those, and the engage point is at the bottom anyhow. | ||

I've lurked around TL for a while but recently graduated, so now have more free time! I was thinking about what I might could contribute or people might want to see, so I will share pictures of my keyboard. I don't really consider myself a keyboard enthusiast per say, but I did decide to build a KMAC 2 as a side project to keep busy with. To explain a little bit about the design, I am a fan of angles and related beings. On the left is Tyrial, the Archangel of Justice as he is portrayed in D3. To the right is a gentler angel, and I thought she looked similar to my fiancé. The spacebar I have the latin Aequitas et Caritate, similar to "Justice and Compassion". If you are interested to read a better definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aequitas & http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/caritas#Latin (Caritate is the noun of caritas). M & N are simply my fiancé's and my initials. (If you haven't figured yet, I think it would be pretty badass to be Tyrial for a day)… The function row I have as tiles from the board game Mahjong, forming a winning hand. It is different from the game on the computer that most are familiar with. The escape key is the 2013 year of the snake key from MKC and the remaining keys are the MKC Zinc v2 key set. Also a little protoss power in the corner :p. Pictures: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/w0rlWGP.jpg?1) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/7d1Mt9W.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hjEUxfD.jpg?1) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZaHLdM4.jpg?1) Hope you guys like it, feel free to ask me any questions, although I don't claim to be a keyboard expert. Also, they are Cherry "Milk" switches. You can google to find out the difference between milk and white, but milk are similar to brown. I ordered the supplies from kbdmod.com, taobao, ebay, and WASD Keyboards did the custom printing. Edit to resize images because I'm still learning how to use forum :p | ||

Looks like a white TKL, possibly a Leopold FC700R? Leopold discontinued the FC700R. Of course, you could probably still find them in SK. Looks to me kind of like a Keycool - http://img03.taobaocdn.com/imgextra/i3/39146588/T2HWwYXfRXXXXXXXXX_!!39146588.jpg Hope that helps. | ||

I am looking for something that is exactly like my laptop keyboard, please let me know if you know of any. The keys are not mechanical (they are laptop keys that are pretty silent but still have a good feel). I like this keyboard because it fits my small hands! | ||

Which of the following attributes do you really care about, and how important is each relative to each other? 1. key size and spacing 2. low key travel to bottom 3. scissor switches 4. noise level 5. number of keys in layout (e.g. exact same properties but added numpad on the right would be acceptable or not? would you explode if pageup and pagedown were not available without a function key combo?) 6. position of keys in layout (e.g. delete in upper-right, small arrow keys, pageup and pagedown next to arrow keys) 7. USB (Bluetooth or other wireless unacceptable?) In general there exist compact layout keyboards, but I'm not sure of the quality of most. Just as examples: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Lenovo-ThinkPad-USB-Keyboard/15172815 http://www.usbgeek.com/products/sk26bt http://www.dsi-keyboards.com/scissor-switch-keyboards.aspx http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=special&filter=spacesaver edit: so-called tenkeyless or TKL (for ANSI layout, 87 keys) still have home cluster and arrow keys out there in the traditional layout, which is wider than most compact laptop layouts. | ||
