Mine does not have the USB port on back. That is good that it give it back to
you. 😊
I do love my Corsair. Which you recommended. Thanks for that.😂

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.
Robin

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.
Robin

Logitech's new ergonomic keyboard aims to reduce wrist strain and pain
Logitech wants to make the time at your desk less of a pain.
What you need to know
· Logitech announced the ERGO K860 Ergonomic Split Keyboard.
· The keyboard includes wrist support and a split design to improve
typing ergonomics.
· The ERGO K860 will be available in January 2020 with a suggested
retail price of $130.
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.
