looking for input here for a new keyboard.
the old MS Natural died in the ass today: less than a few weeks after the warranty ran out (what a shock) so I'm in the market for something simlilar. Opinions apreciated. |

get a dvorak keyboard, learn it, then move the buttons around to look like a qwerty keyboard, and watch the newbies cry...

I like the feel of Microsoft keyboards, but it seems every new keyboard these days has ghosting problems, so I'm stuck with $20 cheapies.

My keyboard rules, I've thumped the crap out of it and it still keeps on ticken!!!
There was a peroid of my space bar not working, but as with tradition with my computer, it sorted itself out. |

ok, now i know this is gamedude, personaly, i woudnt buy a freaking mouse-mat from there, but in the weekend shopper they had the MS internet keyboard (not pro) for $29.95, if its got the same style and design of the keys and size of the pro, then its a winnar of a board. just minus some extra buttons or somthing... dunno.

In my mind you can't beat the classic Honeywell.

I just smelled opportunity :)
I have an MS Internet Keyboard Pro with the USB ports, which I bought recently for $90. However I can't use it in Q3 because of the ghosting (it's cos I use YGHJ). I'd be happy to sell it at QGL. |

borrowed a logitech cordless freedom optical from my comp shop over the weekend and its very very nice. cool grey / black colour and very nice feel to it. lots of shortcut keys that you can completely optimize and a scroller like a mouse on the side thats handy. only thing is i dunno how long the batts last (4xAA batts, comes with a cordless optical mouse thats completely useless, and its $215!
otherwise i'd have it as my ms natural kb pro is feelin a little clunky. there is a corded version of the logitech for $80 but its normal off-white colour not black :( |
