Small footprint keyboard

YesSirICanBogey · 3 Nov 2010 at 14:21

Hi,

Does anyone have any tips on limited footprint keyboards to use with a SFF build? I have been looking at for example SteelSeries 6gv2. This one is nice but expensive and not wireless.

Things I am looking for:

Full height keys
Wireless
Small footprint
Macro keys

Any tips?

what do u mean by small foot print? low power? i never thought keyboards consumed much power at all..

Apple BT Keyboard = great although not "full height keys" so not a perfect match

Over thinking it, small footprint = small feet i.e. take up less space, simples

Keysonic do a few that might suit, but I think the smallest ones are basically laptop keyboards so not full height keycaps.

Yes. By small footprint I mean small physical space (especially around the set of keys as I do not want to compromise on the size of the keys themselves).

As some pointed out. Most smaller keyboards have laptop-like keys (not full height). Not a nice typing experience. So far the only one which somewhat fits is SteelSeries 6GV2 but it is damn expensive and is wired.

Had a look at KeySonic. Found "KSK-8003 UX" which kind of fits the bill (similar to the SteelSeries but cheaper). However, I cannot find a UK retailer stocking it :S

I had a small keysonic. Not full-height keys, but was very nice to type on.

The only problem I had with it, was the fact the keys were not removable... and I broke it finding this out.
