Need a new keyboard, for large hands/fingers

[bonehead123]

The title says it all....

I would like recommendations for/links to wireless kb's that have more space in between the keys for people with big hands & fingers....

Preferably something in the $40-60 range, with a caps-lock indicator. I'm not too concerned with brand as long as it is durable and isn't excessively loud....

TIA for your comments

I would explore Chiclet keyboards. The keys are generally separated more than a standard. I too have fat finger tips, and have endured many typos due to simultaneous key hits on edges.

I also had this problem and was looking for a keyboard that fit my hands. After lengthy search, I decided on the Cyborg Gaming Keyboard for a few reasons.

1) It has a good touch and is a tad larger than normal
2) All keys are lighted, which helps me find the F4 or some other odd key in the middle of the night.
3) There is a gentle click to each key press
4) The keyboard is built for heavy duty gaming. If it can handle that, it should last a lifetime for me.

Some added thoughts . . . this study is useful. Thing to remember is that the distance between keys is called "pitch." The distance the key must travel to complete contact is called "stroke." You should therefore be looking for a keyboard with at least 19mm pitch. There are a few slightly greater, i.e., 19.1mm. Back lighting and programmable features are all user choices.
