Basics

  • A Keyboard with or with exclusively Macro Keys
  • A HUGE productivity boost, do to semi, or fully automating repetitive actions and blocks of text
  • Each key may only save a few secconds but altogether these add up

Keyboards With Macro Keys as Well as Standard Keys

  • Pricier than a standard keyboard, but often come with other features such as mechanical switches and backlighting
  • Some have the "Gamer-ey" aesthetic but can be tweaked via changing the backlighting to look more professional
  • Reccomendations:
  1. as Keyboard 4 Professional Cherry MX Brown Mechanical Keyboard - Soft Tactile
  2. Logitech G513
  • Razer Huntsman Line Marketed more so for videogames BUT has lots of macros, has good software for said macros, has baclighting, and durbable mechanical switches that should last longer than cherry mx swithches
