What kind of keyboard are you all using - MacMom6

Posted: May 10, 2013

I have been thinking lately about my keyboard and mouse. What kind of keyboards are you all using. I use the basic Microsoft Comfort Curve keyboard but considering looking for something different.

Favorites keys. Keys for volume, scrolling, calculator, Web, search, mail. They last FOREVER!

Best trackball I've found on the market. Far superior to using a mouse. I've used
nothing but trackballs for almost 20 years.

I use the MS Comfort Curve - 2000. Tried others.

I've tried others and they were okay. the one I woudl absolutely NOT recommend is the Microsoft ergonomic split keyboard. The space bar is a bad design and by the end of one report my hand hurt so bad from hitting that darn thing it wasn't even funny. I had to return it to Staples.

I have gotten used to the MS Comfort Curve 2000 and I have so much muscle memory in it now, I'm in trouble when I try to switch to a different one.

I use the Microsoft Natural. It's been around a few years, but it is truly comfortable and I can bang out 300-350 lph on it.

Microsoft has discontinued these great keyboards and I need a new one. Anybody aware of a split keyboard that has a really nice touch (remember those old IBM keyboards?) for transcription work by Microsoft or another brand that you really like? I'm open for suggestions please ; 0 My only complaint with this one is the keys are a bit clunky to press down (especially the space bar). Thanks! ...

Seriously - they are being dragged through this with us. They need their jobs just like we do. I am sure they don't like it and their kool-laid pitchers are empty but they have to play the game. Let's just don't shoot the messenger - they are just trying to survive just like us. They don't like it anymore than we do but can't say it. :) ...

I've been perusing laptops on Amazon. Never had one before, so don't know that much about them. If you were going to use one for one week out of each month to transcribe on, which one would you buy? Or, if you already use one, what kind did you buy and why? How many USB ports does it have? How much memory? Screen size? Headphone jack? Sound quality? How long do you work on it per day? Pros & cons? ...

Now that I am settled in on the ASR, not saying I like it or prefer it..I did turn the music back on...I used to do it all the time when I was on straight typing..If you can find the right music, like I play stuff that I really really know well, so I hear it but I dont hear it, know what I mean...but the rhythm seems to keep me moving well..Granted some of the dictators are impossible and it has to be turned off for them.. ...

This week he had a "group interview". All women. The questions he was asked was.... 1. What do you do in your spare time for fun. 2. What kind of music do you like 3.

just got off the phone with a person at the Q who should know questions about the acounts, right, and so I ask her if a heading should be social history (I'm old school) or just social. I can't find the answer in BOS or client profile. She says well, probably put what they dictate. She says, I don't really know. In other words, she did not give me a definite answer.

In any case, I've been ignoring it. You can double check your pay by taking the amount of money in the Current column and dividing that by the number of lines in the Piece Units column. It may be a little bit more if you work nights and get the shift differential as it seems that they add that on. It would be nice if they would show that in a seperate row like they did before Ultipro ...
