So, I went to one of the local stores and first of all,
finding someone that works in the computer products department was a task and
then trying to get that person to explain to me what the differences were
between the various keyboards, was even more taxing, as he did not know either.
So there I stand, having to make a choice between the
various brands (which were few, thankfully) and the various price ranges (which
varied drastically). In the end, I simply demanded that he open a box of each, as the store did not have any on display and I typed on it to feel the various keys. I finally made my
choice, as the other options keys were too close together. I got home and
started typing and all was fine, until I started working on a chapter and I noticed that the shift button was the same size as all the other buttons. On
my old keyboard, it was twice the size. I am sure I will get used to the small shift button eventually. So much for trying to be smart about
it.
How do you choose the right keyboard for you? Got any
computer stories to share?
Isn't it funny how we can become so accustomed to our keyboard. It's like an old friend, and the replacement never feels quite right.
ReplyDeletea nice write up..I enjoyed reading it..ya its difficult sometimes to make the right choice that too when we want to buy something as shops are flooded with many items of various prices making us confused..also our love to give up certain things we are so used too.Murees Dupe Smiles:))GOD<3U
ReplyDeleteI leave all the technology based decisions to my husband as I'm not very good at things like that and he's obsessed by it. Works out well for us!
ReplyDeleteLD Masterson - Your words are so true. I loved my old keyboard.
ReplyDeleteAdhi - It is so hard to part with my old and trusted keyboard, but I guess I have to do it.
Mama J - That is a great strategy.
