Got wife one a few years ago and can concur. ALso those things are HORRIBLE to fucking upgrade. Tried to put an old 1070 in it and it was too long. It had some half size 970 in it so...guess no upgrades for her ^^. Hopefully new models are better

Okay boys looking for some recommendations. I use an Apple Magic Keyboard with my work computer so much that it has really grown on me. Now I want something similar to use with my PC. It's hard to pin down something that may be similar. Chiclet keyboard, small, no numpad. I like it so much and using for work causes me to mistype more than I usually do on my home computer.
I do intend to game with it and everything. Only thing I know is kind of similar is the Microsoft Modern Keyboard. I am open to suggestions.

Real suggestion
Get a real keyboard at work
Edit: I would never use any of these, but something like one of these maybe?

keyboard guys/gamers, like kailh switches now, they come in scissor and mechanical spring, they love it b/c the travel is basically non existent. it's a chinese switch so you're not gonna find em in a logitech/corsair board
they like the kailh switch b/c it also "rocks" less than your regular old cherry mx cuz it has a wider actuation pad rather than the thin cherry stem.

Please pretend I am retarded, which I am, and tell me what keyboard fits the criteria. I liked the one you linked but your first sentence indicates there is some different low travel chink keyboard I would like.
Go on.

I have the same CPU and went through all of this before when I got my 1080Ti last year. And more recently thought for sure my CPU would be bottle-necking the GPU, but honestly don't think so. It hasn't felt slow at all, and the bottleneck calculator that we don't really know how it calculates says the combo is good as well! I'd hold out for as long as you can, and get the 4000 series maybe? that'd be a real upgrade!

I would say wait for Ryzen 4000 this summer/fall just because release seems reasonably close. Ryzen 4000 is supposed to be the last AM4 upgrade and its rumoured to be a big upgrade.
I'm sitting on my 2700x and hanging on to wring out as much bang for buck as I can out of my X470 AM4 MB and ram before the move to DDR5. I've been tempted by the 3900x for both higher cores and single threads (for dev and vm work) but with AMD firing on all cylinders recently I'm thinking another 15% IPC increase + clock and energy efficiency improvements (close to 30% from Zen1+) might be worth wait.

i5-2500k and i7-2600k you mean?
Still have that processor running in my wife's PC with a nVidia 970, and it's totally fine.

Yep, that's the one. That is really way past it's life span at this point, but most people don't realize what they are missing. And for a long time it really just wasn't worth the upgrade

That's what people say, and so I upgraded to a Ryzen 7 1700, and then found a deal on a 1080Ti to go with it, and do I see a difference? Sure. I can play Witcher 3 on max settings, 100+ FPS. Depends on the games you play I suppose, because highly optimized games like Destiny 2 or Overwatch? You could play those easily on the 2500k for a long time still. Graphics heavy games like The Division 2? ehh, start to see some slow downs.
