Hi,
Ah thanks Merv for the save I thought I knew at least one person now maybe two
who had thumb wheels on their keyboards.
I wish mine didn’t take 2 usb slots but it also sports a usb port on the back
of itself which is why I think it necessitates that. I’d prefer it take only
one but I can’t have everything all in one I guess ☺😄
Take good care.

I've never heard of a keyboard which requires two USB slots. That must be quite
a keyboard. However, the K55 sounds like it might be just what I'm looking for.
I'll definitely research the specs. Thanks so much for the recommendation.

The Corsair K55 has a volume Mute, volume up and a volume down button on the
top right of the keyboard. This is not one of the gaming keyboards like robin
has that takes two USB slots. But it is just as precise and clickety clack as a
mechanical keyboard. And just as precise. You can look at the specs at amazon.

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.
