As I sit here in a fury working on my THIRD breaking EditorKeys POS keyboard in six months (two busted command keys, one busted space bar), I find myself wondering what other people here are using for reliable, wired USB-A keyboards in their shops. Numeric keypad is a requirement.
Thanks in advance!

PC or Mac?
If PC, I've had great luck with Dell keyboards. Not pricey and I'm still using ones that I bought 10 years ago. NOT purchased from Dell. From amazon or eBay. Usually around $20.

I went through a ton of keyboards and bought a Keychron K4 Mechanical keyboard with Red (non-clicky) switches. It's been great - the full-featured but compact size keeps you from having to move your wrist so much = less wear and tear. It's mac/pc, wired/wireless. I got the aluminum one with RGB backlight and have only ever used it on a mac as a wired keyboard (I am generally anti-wireless) and I use it on my Pro Tools system. there is a tiny bit of muscle memory to re-learn due to the more compact than usual layout but it gave me zero issues. They make full-size versions too. Here's the one I got (I think they sell their keyboards through Amazon and other places too) www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k4-wireless-mechanical-keyboard-version-2?variant=32287332696153I have no desire for a new keyboard but the new hotness is supposed to be the MX Keys www.logitech.com/en-us/products/keyboards/mx-keys-mac-wireless-keyboard.920-009552.html I know 2 or 3 video and audio people who are MX Mouse Users and have purchased and rave about the MX Keys but I haven't tried one. |

Being on Mac, when the kid was to young to understand that spilling stuff and dirty hands screwed up the keyboard yet old enough to fill the Amazon cart. I bought 10 apple hardwired keyboards as a lot on eBay.

Not wired, but I use a bluetooth solar keyboard in the studio now. The solar panels keep me from needing to change batteries if that's why you wanted a wired keyboard.

Nah,, sadly, wired is necessary because our machine room's location prevents robust wireless.
