As title, can anyone spec me a flat USB keyboard, preferably wired, that’s similar in looks and feel to a laptop keyboard?

I prefer to have those flat, separate keys, rather than the ones that sit too high, or are angled at the edges - always find I hit 2 keys at the same time with those!

There seem to be a wide range available, but I’ve no clue what to go for. Nothing fancy, just a simple KB is fine, and would prefer it to be cheap, certainly no more than £40-50.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!
 
There's a few keyboard in the logitech "pebble" range that might well suit. Some slight difference in features, between models in that range but a steer at least.
 
The best you can get for that price is the Keychron B6 Pro. Everything you want from a full size keyboard but ultra thin laptop style with wireless and wired in one. Can't link due to competitor links are not allowed. But you can find this easy if you google search for it :)

Went for the Keychron mentioned above. Haven’t used any of the extra features on it or tried it wireless, just have it plugged in at the moment, but really liking it. Pleasure to use, nice and solid and has very similar keystrokes to the laptop. Happy man so far :)

Did you get the UK layout or the US?

No worries at all. Was pretty much bang on the £50 mark when I got it

Yeah, the keyboard is for my son, He was using an old keyboard of mine (Razor Death stalker V1 which is about 10 years old) and he refuses to use a mechanical keyboard so looking for 1 that is similar to this and the Keychron B6 Pro looks goof

I’d think he’d like using the Keychron to be honest. Just bear in mind there’s no feet to raise it, but that suits me perfectly, as it sits at a comfortable angle anyway.
 
I got the Keychron B6 Pro and looks and feels great, started using it but then realised it's the US layout model I got. Naturally I'm tapping the keys I expect to use for characters such as " and # but really starting to bug me now. Hope nobody else makes the same mistake, going to try and return it and source a UK layout model.

Mine had labels on the box confirming it was a UK layout. Did yours not have this?

Afraid not. But then I cannot see any confirmation of what layout it is. Looking at the top of the box with the picture of the keyboard itself it's clearly a US keyboard. But I had already opened it and was using it when I realised.

Ah, maybe the labels are only on the UK and other regions. Bit of a pain that
