Hello,
I’m looking for a keyboard (small form factor) & low noise switch or office friendly switches, basically to be packet in the backpack for the days where I need to work from office and don’t let my co-workers kill me because of the noise.
I appreciate any suggestions !
It really depends on what’s most comfortable for you. I have a Keychron Q9 (40%) for portability, but it requires using different layers for numbers, F-keys, and the 9-key modifiers (it does have a knob, though, which is nice!). For office work, it might be tedious to use for very long.
The keyboards I tend to use the most are 65%(?), with an ortho layout. These provide 75 kays I can map to whatever I use the most, and a couple of layers for other keys as needed. Plus, they’re cheaper than the Keychron, so if they get lost, I’m not out much cash.
You could get a dedicated numpad or macropad to carry along with a small keyboard, Keychron makes a nice one, or something like the DOIO KB30-01.
Or just get a nice-ish fullsize keyboard to leave at work, maybe something like a Ducky or Filco?
