The Kinesis Gaming keyboard is my current go-to deck. The key layout is sane (nobody tried to nerf the "useless" ESC key), there are well-done macro and remapping features for light customization, and the LED lighting is actually something I appreciate for once (it's pretty).
Microsoft lost me in the 2000s with terrible key feel. I remember bouncing over to the company store for an Ergo 4000 and being incredibly disappointed; I could barely type on the thing. They continue to screw up (e.g., decent keyboards, with good feel and layout . . . but only bluetooth).
I have a couple of UHKs. They do not have an ESC key, something I hadn't internalized when I ordered them. I do not recommend them.

- dotancohen 6y agoI currently use a Matias Pro. It has an Esc key, but the truth is I'd like Esc as close as possible. I've experimented with CapsLock as Esc but I prefer CapsLock to swap languages, which I also do often. Ah, the troubles we go through for the perfect HID!
