Dell KB216
The Dell KB216 is a good office keyboard. It has good ergonomics as its low-profile design means you don't have to bend your wrists too sharply upwards to reach the keys. The rubber dome switches are very quiet and unlikely to bother anyone around you. That said, the build quality is mediocre, and the overall typing quality is only satisfactory as the switches feel a bit mushy and require moderate force to actuate. The keys also wobble a bit while typing, especially some of the larger keys, including the Spacebar and Shift keys.
