A matter of finding the proper switches, and layout. Need something relatively quiet, because I don't want to drive the other half mad. Unfortunately, my preferred switch type is the kind that makes a "clicky" noise when you hit a key. Other issue is finding something that is compact enough that I can travel with. I've had a couple "60%" keyboards that eliminate the function row, and everything to the right of the backspace key, instead using key combos for the missing keys is too much work/ I'm lazy and don't want to build the muscle memory to use the missing keys. I also like having arrow keys, along with a number pad, but I don't want the full on 100% layout, so a 92ish% percent with 96 keys instead of 104, that has every key right up against each other is ideal.

Course went well, but I still have my theory test coming up. Too bad they changed the test format recently, and its Computer Based Testing now, with I believe 100 questions, and 150 minutes to complete. All questions are multiple choice, which means one point per question, and no partial marks for at least showing your math.
