Designed for Windows, the Programmable Ergo Pro Keyboard from Matias is an upgrade to their original Ergo Pro that allows users trigger a keyboard shortcut or type a string of text, all with a single keystroke. Thanks to programmed macro keys, keyboard shortcuts can be executed more quickly, as well as boilerplate text up to 60 characters. Dedicated hotkeys for Undo, Cut, Copy, and Paste are also pre-programmed and may be easily reprogrammed. The 12 function keys, the side hot keys, the split spacebars, and a few other keys are also programmable. Also featured is a gel palm support, tilting and tenting angles, metal mechanical switches, three USB-A 2.0 ports, laser etched keys, audio and media functions via the Fn key, N-key rollover, and more.
The choice between membrane, low-profile, and mechanical switches determines typing feel and noise. Consider ergonomics and layout sizes (full-size vs tenkeyless) based on desk space and numpad reliance. Available from $270.
Keyboards are passive peripherals with almost zero cost of ownership. Wireless models may require occasional battery replacements, but energy costs are negligible.
Common Failure Modes
Liquid spills and physical debris are the primary killers of keyboards. Mechanical switches can develop 'chatter' (registering double keystrokes), while membrane domes lose elasticity.

Mechanical keyboards can last for decades due to durable individual switches. Membrane keyboards degrade faster as the rubber domes lose their elasticity.
