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 !
I would suggest taking a look at ortho boards.
Ortho boards are more versatile than traditional stagger boards, especially as the sizes get smaller.
As another user has mentioned, you can fit up to 75 keys into the same footprint as a standard 60% board.
I have two different 69-key layouts based on that idea, both with numpads layered over the right hand alphas, and couldn’t be happier with them.
With the numpads located directly over the right hand alphas, I can swap back and forth between letters and numbers, at will, without having to relocate either hand.
