Eric, hi.  I was about to recommend the label makers that we use, until you mentioned the QWERTY keyboard.  I do agree, for us that can touch type, the QWERTY keyboard is the best.  I'm often confused by the ABC order keyboard on our label printers.  Perhaps you can find one like we use, but with a QWERTY keyboard?

We use the Brady BMP21-PLUS - https://www.bradyid.com/label-printers/bmp21-plus-portable-label-printer-pid-139535.  It's specifically designed for electrical installations, and is easily adapted to labeling fiber jumpers, copper jumpers, and devices inside of a data center cabinet.

There are several options for self-laminating label cartridges for cabling, long-lasting label tape for flat-surface labeling, and even one option that attaches directly to velcro.  Accessory options include carrying cases, rechargeable battery packs, AC charger, and a stand/magnetic mount/velcro mount/work light accessory (must have!).

Best Regards,

 I am still using a Dymo 4200 [1] which is generally okay. I am wondering if anyone or their field tech team has recently changed to a better label maker in terms of feature set, battery life/charging or label consumable cost.

Surely there must be something better out there. Strong preference for QWERTY keyboards, no ABCDE type.
