Cumulus Support

Standard size, robust, easy to clean and wireless but no numeric keypad - no need for any multimedia buttons or extras (though illuminated keys might be a nice treat!)

any suggestions?

Geoff,

I can find plenty on Dabs.com but none that don't have a numeric keypad. You may have to bite the bullet.

For £20 this one with a mouse chucked in looks good value. http://www.dabs.com/products/microsoft- ... 7-11&src=3

This might be just the ticket if you want small.... 'Rii Mini Wireless Keyboard with 26 dazzling bright LED lights to help when using in poor lighting environments'.

I recommend a mechanical keyboard (with Cherry MX switches). Your keyboard is a very important part of your system and can affect your health - don't skimp. There aren't too many wireless mechanical keyboards available, though.

I generally like the Microsoft branded peripherals, usually they are good quality and feel in the 'non-basic' models. They do a wireless 'wedge' keyboards without numeric pad, designed for tablets really, but will work with PCs. Pricey though.

Thanks for the comments folks. I've gone for a 2nd hand Microsoft bluetooth 6000 keyboard with a seperate number pad!!



It will fit under my monitor and give me more desk space, but it remains to be seen how comfortable it will be to use.!

Geoff,

On a completely different topic I could help notice your baro pressure is way out.
