Ask HN: Keyboard/Mouse Recommendations
I decided to pour a glass of water over my keyboard, and I've been using a backup mouse for a while now. Obviously it's personal preference, but I'm curious to hear what HNers recommend.
- fuzzfactor 3y agoI don't know how much of a glowing recommendation I can make but you might like beer more so than water plus you might be more careful with it and not spill it next time ;) As for keyboards & mice I've been using vintage for so long until now for a few devices where some interesting products got my attention from the Macally and X9-Performance brands: https://us.macally.com/ https://us.macally.com/ https://x9performance.com https://x9performance.com Never heard of them until they showed up as overstock for cheap, but they are decent. I like the bluetooth keyboard for my phone. Also have mouse in bluetooth. Plus the backlit large-print keyboard is really good for typing in low light. And the compact keyboards without the numeric keypad save space, especially when it's more of a workbench than a desk. There can be some funky key arrangements but lots of them are cross-platform between PC and Mac. It can also be good having the mouse with a variable DPI button. To move up a notch a fairly entry-level Logitech gaming mouse will give better resolution in the office even if you are not gaming.
- jcuenod 3y agoThanks! I haven't heard of these, but I'll take a look. And maybe that's the trick, alcohol during the day would curb my enthusiasm for pouring my drinks all over my desk.
