Hi all. I've had a Ducky 9008 mechanical keyboard for the past year or so and I just find it too big. I have pretty small hands so I find it hard to reach comfortably across the keys. I find I type slower and make more mistakes because of the distance between the keys and also their long travel (I'm probably pressing too hard but that's a hard habit to break when I have to use low-travel keys at work and for most of my typing). I mainly type on my Lenovo laptop keyboard which I find is a comfortable size and feels pretty good, but it's obviously missing the same tactile feel as a mechanical keyboard.
Does anyone know of a mechanical keyboard with smaller key spacing and perhaps physically smaller/shorter keys than the Ducky? I know there are physically smaller mechanical keyboards but they just seem to omit the numpad and function keys and leave the size of everything else the same. Not sure if a different switch type would make a difference too -- my Ducky used Cherry Browns.
Failing that, could someone recommend a non-mechanical keyboard that's high quality but maybe more suited to someone with small hands? I was thinking about the Sidewinder X4 but I'm not sure about its size and, frankly, I'd rather something that doesn't look too much like a 'gaming' keyboard. I'll be using it for gaming obviously but I'd rather something fairly plain-looking. Not sure if there are other Microsoft keyboard within their non-gaming range that have the same feel as the Sidewinder.
Thanks!
