My friends- I need a new Keyboard - recommendations?

Yes this is off the beaten vaping path but I am making more and more typos as my Microsoft wired keyboard ages and its keeps stiffening. I need something that is an easy touch and more fluid. I type fast but it seems lately, with tonsss of typos. HELP!

I've been very happy with the Logitech K800 wireless rechargeable. It is also lighted which works well for my under desk setup. It doesn't offer all the gamer extras, but I don't use it for that anyway. MSRP is around $100, but you can probably find them in the $60-70 range.

NERD ALERT!

I'm a big fan of mechanical keyboards, myself. They won't help much if your typos are mostly missed keys (like mine), but if you ever just miss a character because the key didn't depress quite enough, the mechanical switches can make a big difference. Mostly, I just like the tactile feel and clicky sound. I type about 20 wpm faster on mechanical switches.

Prices vary quite dramatically, but as they've become more popular among gamers, there are some competitive prices out there. I just picked up and have been happy with the Azio Backlit keyboard. It uses Kaihl switches, which aren't quite as nice as Cherry, but they still feel much better to me than any membrane switches. ETA: The white backlighting can get CRAZY bright.

If you are looking for a quiet typing experience, something with Cherry Red or Brown aren't "clicky" and require the least actuation force of the major switches. If you've used membrane keyboards for a long time and have never thought that they felt too "squishy" or imprecise, then you can probably safely disregard all of this.

END OF NERD ALERT

I have used a microsoft comfort 5000 for years. They do break eventually, but are much more comfortable on my hands and wrists so I just buy another one.
