Looking for a comfortable wireless keyboard to type on - Michele


Posted: Jan 28, 2013

Any suggestions as to a comfortable wireless keyboard to use with my laptop?

Currently using a logitech ergonomic keyboard but the keys seem a little sharp around the edges to me. 

Thank you!

I like the Logitech Wave - wireless keyboard

Great for typing, not so much for editing however.

I like the Microsoft Comfort Curve 5000... - Des

It has a built-in wrist rest and the keys are low profile and smooth like a laptop, and it's just slightly ergonomic.

Can you guys answer one tiny, silly question? Where is the F8 key on those keyboards (over the 7 or 8, or 9). I'm so used to using that hot key that my biggest criteria with using a wireless keyboard is where that stupid function key is!! ;) Thanks!!

Most Comfortable Headphones
Oct 15, 2009

Which headphones do you like the best in terms of comfort and quality? Some of the ones that fit inside the ears, the earbuds, make my ears sore. My boss suggested the noise-canceling kind that fit over the ears, but they are very expensive and they also look like they were be very heavy to wear. Any recommendations would be great, thank you. ...


Comfortable Headphones
Oct 18, 2009

I've always used just cheap stereo headphones but I want to try some of the ones that are made specifically for transcription. The problem is the kind that fit inside my ears can hurt, the ones that are more rounded buds and have foam on them. What headphones do you recommend that are comfortable inside the ear? I tried some recently from a fellow MT and I think they were made by Lanier but I can't remember, but they seemed comfortable. Is Lanier the best also for sound quality? I loo ...

I get soo uncomfortable sitting for at least 8 hours every day.  My right arm and hand just ache/sore constantly, and my fingers, especially on my right hand, are really getting painful.  I sit with my keyboard on my lap (on a pillow), sit with a pillow underneath and behind me.  My heel even hurts from using the foot pedal.  I'm wondering if a left hand keyboard would work for me, or an ergonomic.  I've used an ergonomic before (it broke) and didn't recal ...
