====================================================================
My keyboard has served me well over the course of my PhD. I bought
it second hand off gumtree for £4 in Edinburgh, and picked it up
in an ASDA car park.
It's a Fujitsu Siemens KB SC, a model introduced in 2006, I think,
I had a hard time finding information about it online. It has a UK
(British) English 105 ISO key layout, with rubber dome switches,
and connects by USB. The key caps are laser printed so the letters
haven't worn away at all. I very rarely use the numpad, but have
done on occasion when entering data into a spreadsheet. I like
having the full F-row, because I can use it with Karabiner in macOS
to control the volume as you would on a normal mac keyboard.
