Hi all, I’m looking for something similar to my Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 to replace it that’s mechanical. I’m looking for something with about the same number of Macros, about the same layout, and doesn’t have a weird Delete key layout like the Logitech Wave.

Does one exist? Thank you in advance!

    At the budget end, Perrix makes the Periboard 535 which is certainly superficially similar. The Perrix is limited as a customizable mech, but if it is what your wrists and hands need, it may be good. I’m not sure if the choc switches are hot-swap, and good luck finding aftermarket keycaps, but you can at least choose from clicky, linear, or tactile.

    If you want to drift away from a Microsoft style, several companies make “Alice” mechanical keyboards which are split and slightly tented, and allow more enthusiast options, but you’d have to get an external numpad if you need one.
