The Best Silent Tactile Keyboard Is…

… not what you expect

Just recently I made a good deal on one of those tiny ThinkCentre computers ( I just couldn’t resist) to use as my Linux box. I’ll come up with an in-depth article about that one (and why it is a valid alternative for everyone who needs a fast, tiny computer) really soon. But unexpectedly there was a keyboard and a mouse bundled with my purchase. Both of which were not shyte.

Since I’m quite the keyboard nerd (no use denying it at this point) I was of course trying it out. At first glance it was a full sized, cheap, office keyboard by Lenovo. Obviously it was a rubber dome keyboard and I don’t like full sized keyboards. Still, it was “free” with my purchase so to speak, so why not try it out for a week or two, right?

Well. It has been a long time since I’ve tried a rubberdome keyboard, I didn’t have any expections going into this but…

The Lenovo KBBH21 Professional rubberdome office keyboard might just be the best silent, tactile keyboard I have tried so far. And I’ve tried a lot.

Okay, okay. I know. Blasphemy. But hear me out.
