I stuck with a digitizer until the laser mice were developed to a good point. Get about a year or two out of the top end mice. Between Work and home, Using a mouse activly for 9 hours a day. Will have to find a new logitech for Next round of Mice. Then moved to the 700 that I purchased 5 of. Sheet metal for tanks and trailers thats all welded. I do Computer Drafting/Modeling for a day job. But I am being tempted by a few keyboard enthusiasts I've gotten to know, to try more dedicated models and uses.
Myself I've been using a fullsize Logitech K310 for a few years, basically because it felt the best to type on, alongside a competition of about 20 others, and it's fluid proof which makes it easy to clean. I'd love to know and discuss, what your method and keyboard is, if there is a big thought behind it, or what strategy/method/keyboard you'd suggest as a great idea for music work.
Some people value appearing as expensive, cool or hightech to paying customers, and therefore get a keyboard that satisfies that. Some require cordless keyboards, while some see that as a potential security issue. Some uses separate anc custom key pads, large or small, X-keys, or even uses iPads on the side to activate certain things. Some hate keyboard that sounds too much, or sounds a certain way when you press down the keys. Some people prefers mechanical keyboards, with mechanical switches (Cherry MX models and others) while some think the common plastic keys is good enough. Some people use a keyboard with a lot of function keys and sometimes even software, in which they design macros or other often recurring actions. Some are already lefthanded (but that's just nuts ). Some people even use the mouse in their left hand to get around the right keypad space problem. Some people prefer TenKeyLess models, so to not strain their right arm by weird angle to use the mouse. It seems that many people have a strategy, fancy or not, but still a thought behind how they use the keyboard in their work and what kind of keyboard they got. I've come to see the keyboard as an important thing, it's the thing besides the mouse that we spend the most time with. I tried searching for a kind of thread that discusses this but I couldn't find one, though I did find threads discussing mice and headphones and lots of other details and accessories. (by "computer keyboard" I do NOT mean this: ) I would be real interested to hear and learn from others, what kind of computer keyboard you use- or at least suggest, for Music work?
