Slim, or clunky... Slim, or clunky... Slim, or clunky...

EDIT: In love with this keyboard, especially since I've lived 9 years with clunky keyboards. Thank you Matt once again!

I received a beauty of a birthday present today from Matt, a Gigabyte (GK-KM6100) keyboard and mouse. Thanks so much for that!

Now, to my issue. Slim, sexy black keyboard that has me making more spelling errors, or a clunky white (or yellow after some years) keyboard but has me making fewer spelling errors?

Yes, what a great way to show my appreciation for a present: debating whether the present is as good as what it has replaced. No, I really do appreciate it!

But this is what it is:



This is what it has replaced:



Again, this is what it is:



And this is what it has replaced:



The problem is, the new one doesn't have that extra bit at the bottom to support my wrists. But the other one has white keys that get dirty too fast. I type better on the old one. But the new one is flat.

As for the mouse, not a big difference, since that old classic Microsoft optical mouse is just a classic. So my main focus is the keyboard. Now I'm using the new Gigabyte keyboard, which is sexy, flat, doesn't have redundant copy and paste keys, but has no wrist support, and not a huge tilt. But if I need a tilt and wrist support, I'd have to go to the clunky white keyboard.

What do you think? Do you prefer ergonomical or what I call classic keyboards?
And is anyone reading this blog site?
