I like the flat style similar to what is in many notebooks. Current favourites are the Apple keyboards (expensive though, for what they are), the Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard (stupid generic model name), that seems to have a problem for some that the electronics die prematurely, it might not be able to connect any longer after some time. Great if it works though, can often be gotten relatively cheaply for about half the normal price. Very minimal design, you can't take away much more from a keyboard: https://www.microsoft.com/en/accessories/products/keyboards/microsoft-designer-compact-keyboard?activetab=pivot:overviewtab And a new fascination of mine, the Logitech MX series, also kind of expensive, and with rather ugly design, but typing feels just wonderful. Of the cheaper ones, I like the Logitech k280e. Feels quite OK for the price, not on the level of the obove three though. Also large, clunky and heavy. I used to be a full layout (with keypad) person, but recently I began to like the smaller layouts. Takes up less space on the desk, only thing I miss are the full cursor keys. Easier to move around on the desk, which I do a lot. Keyboards are a product where preferences diverge a lot and are very personal. Fortunately there is lots of choice in the market currently. /ralph
