Default Meet the CODE Keyboard

If you’ve been following my reviews this year, you’ve probably noticed my hunt for the perfect ergonomic keyboard. So far, I’ve been through four keyboards with mechanical switches, three of which have been ergonomic designs: the TECK, Kinesis Advantage, and ErgoDox. I’ve also used a Rosewill RK-9100 that’s not ergonomic but sports a traditional layout. If you’re curious, my personal favorite of the bunch so far is the Kinesis Advantage, but I have to admit that when it comes to numeric input, I really miss having a dedicated 10-key. You know what they say about opinions, but every review that I complete usually has a bunch of numbers that need to be input into a spreadsheet or Mobile Bench, and for doing that sort of work there’s simply no beating a 10-key in my book.

Of course, many people have differing opinions on what makes for a great keyboard. For typists, I don’t think you’ll find many that will disagree with the claim that mechanical switches are better than membrane domes, though I’m sure there are also a few people that prefer scissor-switches (e.g. Logitech K740) or buckling springs (IBM Model M). Jeff Atwood over at Coding Horror has decided to team up with WASD Keyboards to create the CODE Keyboard, apparently his dream keyboard. As with most keyboards that come with Cherry MX switches, the cost is going to be higher than membrane-based keyboards: $150. And at first blush, it might seem that the CODE Keyboard isn’t all that different from other mechanical keyboards – it has a lot in common with my Rosewill RK-9100 for example. Dig a little deeper however and you’ll find some nice features.
