devil's plaything
Trying to choose between the Kensington Studioboard Mechanical Keyboard and the Matias Tactile Pro. Have seen each separately, never side by side. Could only find one brief comparison of the two in an Amazon review:
"Anyway, the main issue I have with it is the Return key. It has the old style huge return key. The backslash key is after the semicolon, then comes the return key which extends up to the place where the backslash key usually is. Since I use a powerbook and spend half the time away from the keyboard, it's a bit hard to get used to that key difference so I'm constantly hitting backslash instead of return. Another company makes a similar keyboard with a standard return key. I didn't really like the function key layout on that one though."
Can't make out the difference in the F keys from the strangely angled Tactile Pro product image.
Also wondering if Kensington uses the same Alps key mechanism as Matias.
Enlightenment, recommendations much appreciated.
