Kel­ly says I have a bit of a key­board prob­lem. You see, I have four key­boards in this office, count­ing the one I’m cur­rent­ly typ­ing on.

But the point of this post isn’t to talk about how I’m going to get this addic­tion under con­trol, it’s more about show­ing you the new toy. I bought the Key­chron K2, which is my first tenkey­less key­board. I’ve been cling­ing to that num­ber pad for some rea­son, but no longer!

I’ve been using the key­board for about a day and I’m pret­ty pleased so far. I bought the ver­sion with brown switch­es, which is also a first for me since blue switch­es are what I usu­al­ly pick. The brown switch­es are nice, but the blue ones are my favorite. If you work close to peo­ple, brown switch­es are much soft­er and qui­eter, but I work at home all by myself, so noise isn’t real­ly an issue for me.

They moved the but­ton to con­trol the RGB back­lights, which is a wel­come change. I own the Key­chron K1 and con­stant­ly hit that but­ton accidentally.

The only issue I have with this key­board (after a day of use, so take it with a grain of salt) is the miss­ing ⌥ option key on the right side. While their cus­tom screen­shot but­ton is pret­ty cool, I’d rather have the ⌥ option key, and move the fn key to the top.

You can buy your own start­ing at $69 USD.
