When I type a lot, I feel like a virtuoso pianist. Writer Divov once gave me a whole spiel about the essential tactile sensations of flipping through paper books, but I get those when I touch my keyboard, the Logitech UltraX Media Keyboard. Strangely enough, a huge number of people around me have this exact keyboard. It has laptop-style keys with a scissor mechanism and a "slim" form factor, meaning it's thin. It more than pays off its 17 lats – which is why I'm already on my second one. To be fair, I'm not as picky about keyboards as some people, so if they stop making it, I'll happily try another one. The only thing I need is a standard layout, I just can't do without it. Getting used to a different one is hard, and I don't really want to anyway.
