Ultra flat keyboard

1kiwi · 27 Sep 2008 at 19:11

Hi guys, i currently have this keyboard:

But i'm really used to laptops and i find the keys really hard to type on. I'm loking for something ultra flat and very similar to a laptop keyboard. I have used the following keyboard:

And found it to be excellent but i really want a corded keyboard and already have the G5 mouse which i'm really happy with.

Can anyone spec me something like the above but corded?

Enermax Aurora: http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-000-EN

Best keyboard I've ever used. No fancy buttons or other crap, just a sturdy (metal!) keyboard with laptop style keys.

Silver version's about £10 cheaper.

How flat are the keys? Are they really like a laptop?

Prob not as a Laptop is for woman with small hands to type on.

(100% detest them, not woman

)

Yep, couple of pictures from Google:

I can take a few snaps of mine if you want?

I've got one - fantastic keyboard. Nice and heavy too.

What are those headphone ports for, does it have a built-in soundcard?

Thanks for the advice guys - RE helmutcheese - i guess it just what you're used to.

It has pass through cables built in, so you have a single cable going to the PC then you plug USB and the jacks into the soundcard etc.

That Enermax keyboard looks really nice. Shame it has a mini enter key rather than a full size one. Otherwise I'd buy one.
Looks like I'll be sticking with my Logitech Ultra-X for a long time to come.

My Enermax Aurora Silver has full size enter key.

Good choice.

I used to have the black one but sold it on, in my opinion the keys didn't have a satisfying despress length. Hope you enjoy yours though, it's a lovely keyboard and very well made.

Good choice of keyboard, I have one and it is very nice indeed!
