Robin,
I absolutely love the clickety-clackety sound and feel of a mechanical
keyboard. I haven't used one in years but when I did it really seemed to
improve my typing speed. I'm currently using a Dell multimedia keyboard.
I'm very happy with it but I would eventually like to return to a
mechanical keyboard. My Dell keyboard has something which I'd rather not
give up, though, which is a physical wheel to control my PC's volume.
I'd ideally like to find a mechanical keyboard with a volume wheel or
buttons for up, down and mute. If you have any suggestions for one of
these I'd love to know.
Many thanks.

Hi,
I’ve yet to meet an ergonomic keyboard that I liked or felt natural to me. I tried the Microsoft natural keyboard I think it was called eons again that was enough of that curvy split sort of half moon design for me for one lifetime. I’m very happy however with my Corsair mechanical keyboard it really takes much less effort to type on it. I never got what the big deal was about that class of keyboard till I tried one for myself and now I’d never ever go back.
Take good care.
Robin

Logitech announced the ERGO K860 Ergonomic Split Keyboard today. The keyboard features a split design and cushioned wrist rests to reduce strain on your wrists while you type. The Logitech ERGO K860 Ergonomic Split Keyboard will be available in January with a suggested retail price of $130.
The design of the ERGO K860 is similar to other ergonomic keyboards. The split keyboard allows your hands to rest at a more natural angle, and the cushioned wrist rests reduce how much you have to bend your wrists to type. Logitech claims that the ERGO K860 offers 54 percent more wrist support than other keyboards and reducing wrist bending by 25 percent.
The keyboard works with PCs and macOS devices and can connect through either Bluetooth Low Energy or a USB dongle. If you have a Logitech Flow-enabled mouse, you can move seamlessly from one computer to another utilizing Logitech Options software.
