I don't like the flatness of Apple's keyboards. I'm disabled and find it harder to type. Does anyone know of a keyboard that has raised keys. Even a gaming keyboard would be great. I'm also looking for an expansion setup for the USBC ports. I need a couple more. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

iMac Pro keyboard suggestions

Amazon had several cheap keyboards but they had mixed to poor reviews. I'm using a cheap, wired Windows keyboard now and I find it works just fine. I don't mind wired since the iMac will remain on my workstation. Wireless is just a plus.
The only non-Apple keyboard I have experience with is the Matias Quiet Pro. They're mechanical keyboards so might not be what would work best for you, but maybe worth a look.
Most any Windows keyboard will work. Although without Mac drivers. Extra keys like media keys, app launching and other programmable keys may not work. But the standard 101/102 keys will.
If you want one with Mac specific key labels (option, command). There are some choices still. Linked is a Das Keyboard Model S. It is a higher end keyboard with proper mechanical key switches (Cherry MX Blue). Not low end membrane switches. There aren't many choices for a Mac key layout with Cherry switches.
USB C hubs are hard to come by. Possibly because of the power demands of some USB C devices. I found one which is four port and uses a 48 Watt power adapter.

I guess I should have indicated it's for my new iMac Pro.
That keyboard looks like what I've been searching for. Thanks!
I don't require switches at this point. Slow progressing ALS but I'm still typing 50wpm.
Thanks for the recommendation.
