The Best PC Keyboards to Make Typing as Comfortable as Ever
Computers have changed a lot over the decades, but even in the era of touch screens and voice control, the keyboard is still our primary input method. Because of that, you’ll want to make sure your PC is equipped with the best keyboard you can find.
While all keyboards function in the same basic way, that’s largely where the similarities end. Because of this, you’ll have to figure out what’s most important to you as a typist. Do you want a model that’s spacious or one that’s portable? Do you want one with large mechanical keys that clack or thin keys that barely make a sound? Beyond that, you’ll need to decide whether you want number pads or backlight options.
