They don’t make standard keyboards anymore. 😢
Recommend me an ANSI standard 104-key low-profile keyboard. Can you?
It has to be:
- Slim / low profile
- 100% standard ANSI 104-key layout 👈
- Preferably chiclet key design
- Preferably wired, but wireless is ok too
What standard ANSI layout means:
- thin horizontal Enter key
- groups of function keys are separated by empty space between them
- the main, arrows and the numpad areas are separated by empty space between them
- additional keys are fine as long as they are not messing with the layout
I am looking for high quality builds with key travel that feels and sounds good.
But here’s a catch: most major hardware producers have stopped producing the true standard layout. And I don’t understand why.
Obvious recommendations like Apple Magic Keyboard or Logitech MX Keys are really close, but still don’t hit the mark.
My current choice is A4Tech KV-300H, which I use since 2011, renewing it every few years when it wears out 😅 Luckily they still manufacture it. But I’m not fully happy with how key travel feels.
Tell me if you know any matching options.
