While laptop keyboards have come a long way in terms of the typing experience, they still cannot, at times, match the experience offered by a full-sized keyboard. With an external keyboard, you have the flexibility of positioning, bigger and more generously laid out keys, all of which lend to a much better typing experience. Be it writers, editors or even gamers, a right keyboard can hugely impact the way you use and also drive better results for whatever you do. Here are some of the most commonly preferred external keyboards we picked from Amazon.
If you’re not very happy with your laptop keyboard and are looking for a simple, functional upgrade, the AmazonBasics wired keyboard is probably a great choice for you. It connects to your laptop over a USB cable and offers enough length for you to position the keyboard as you would like. The keyboard offers multimedia keys paired with the function keys and also a full-sized Numpad.
The Dell Km117 Wireless Keyboard Mouse combination is a great upgrade for those who need both an external keyboard and a mouse. The keyboard operates wirelessly and offers a very slim profile. The chiclet type keys would lend towards faster typing speed as the wireless nature of the keyboard means you don’t have to worry about accidentally dragging your laptop to the ground because of a tangled keyboard cable.
The Logitech MK270r Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo are designed for the more discerning laptop user. The keyboard offers large, spacious keys for typing on, along with offering dedicated multimedia keys. There are also dedicated keys for firing up your e-mail, bringing up the calculator or even going to the homepage in your browser.
The Logitech MK235 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo is a great wireless offering by Logitech with a unique design. The keycaps are curved inwards, so as to blend with the curvature of your fingertips. The keycap design paired with the chiclet design makes the Logitech MK235 a great choice for those who tend to spend most of the time of their day typing.
