First of all, there’s no perfect, best keyboard that will work for every user. Some people love ergonomic keyboards with split layouts, some hate them. It’s the same with modern, laptop-style chiclet keyboards, mechanical keyboards and just about every other type. The best thing you can do is try a range of types and work out which feels best for you, though that’s easier said than done – unless you have a big PC store nearby. The biggest design upgrade comes in the form of an IP68 dust and water resistance rating – the first of its kind for a premium tablet. Even the best iPads risk getting fried by water if you use them in the bathtub or too close to the pool, but Samsung claims that the Tab S9 and S9 Plus can survive being submerged in up to 1.5m of water for up to 30 minutes. The large keycaps on a mechanical keyboard need stabilization so that when you press on one side of the keycap or the other it remains balanced. This is achieved by a metal bar that connects one side of the keycap to the other. There are two major designs when it comes to large keycap stabilization Costar style and Cherry. This is an attractive, unique-looking keyboard even without lighting — it has a slim, lightweight chassis with an aluminum alloy top plate, and flat, chiclet-y keycaps that leave the switches entirely exposed. The keyboard has 24 pre-programmed multi-function “smart” dual-LED keys, which light up to indicate secondary keybinds and can also change colors to display real-time info, such as headset or mouse battery life. The keyboard features Roccat’s Aimo lighting experience, which is an “intelligent” lighting system that interacts with, and reacts to, the user (and adapts over time). It’s definitely a dazzling alternative to the typical spectrum cycling, and it’s even more dazzling when paired with the Vulcan II Max’s translucent wrist rest.

Optical switches technically have mechanical parts, but they’re not the same as mechanical switches — optical switches are actuated via light, while mechanical switches are actuated via physical force. Although this makes for a less-than-ideal typing experience, it’s good news for gamers: Optical switches are speedier (and less prone to failure) than their mechanical counterparts. The Apex Pro TKL Wireless’ OmniPoint 2.0 switches offer both adjustable actuation (37 levels) and dual-action actuation, which lets you assign two actions to one key (at different actuation levels). The Grand Touch keyboards offered by all Yamaha Clavinova CLP Series and select CVP Series models provide a detailed grand piano feel that allows for uniform tone control, precise rhythm and smooth melodic expression. Colors available on selected models only. Available colors, sizes, finishes, and processors may vary by store, market, and configuration. If anything, the Apex Pro Mini Wireless might have too much going for it — maybe you don’t need an ultra-compact keyboard with every single feature shoved into it (especially considering its premium price point). If you don’t need all of these features and you’d like to spend a little less, try the SteelSeries Apex 9 series, which comes has adjustable actuation, hot-swappable switches, and comes in both Mini and TKL layouts. While one version may be more beneficial than the other depending on your specific situation and use case, I find it's best to judge ergonomic keyboards on a sliding scale based on need. If you're already experiencing pain or numbness when you type, a split keyboard is bound to give you the most relief. (You should also see a doctor if you haven't already.) Likewise, you should go for a split keyboard if damage down the road is a serious concern, you type a lot, and superior ergonomics is your goal for your next keyboard.We recommend getting a switch with a lightweight spring if you will use your keyboard for gaming, and it will help in the faster and easier pressing of keys. On the other hand, we recommend getting a switch with heavyweight springs; this way, you will avoid typos. Every keypress is felt and heard, making the user more conscious when pressing the keys.

We've also tested the HyperX Alloy Origins 65 and the mini HyperX Alloy Origins 60, and HyperX also offers a TKL version — the HyperX Alloy Origins Core.

Semi-weighted keys offer some of the advantage of both types of key and so are a happy middle-ground. They can build finger strength to some degree while still allowing speed and dexterity. Digital instruments with a hammer action keyboard include a mechanism that replicates that of an acoustic piano. This is usually achieved by the attachment of a physical lever system and hammers to add more resistance to the keys you’re playing.The displays have rounded corners. When measured diagonally as a rectangle, the iPad Pro 12.9‑inch screen is 12.9 inches, the iPad Pro 11‑inch screen is 11 inches, the iPad Air and iPad (10th generation) screens are 10.86 inches, and the iPad mini screen is 8.3 inches.

The software experience on both the Galaxy Tab S9 and S9 Plus is a familiar one. Every device in Samsung’s new lineup runs Android 13 with the company's OneUI laid over the top, so those who are familiar with the latter operating system won’t find anything out of the ordinary here. But in addition to being a top-notch gaming peripheral, the G915 Lightspeed (and G915 TKL) offers a surprisingly good typing experience for a low-profile keyboard. We’ve tested it with Logitech's tactile low-profile switches for days and haven’t felt much extra exhaustion or like we were typing through sand, like we’ve suffered through on other low-profile keyboards.
