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.
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:
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.
And maybe that's the trick, alcohol during the day would curb my enthusiasm for pouring my drinks all over my desk.
