Curt 1 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The keyboard for my desktop is giving me some grief and I am in the market for a new one. Anyone got any particular recommendations? Looked in the shops and couldn't really make any decision, couldn't really make out all the differences - perhaps there aren't many. I suppose the only thing I know I want is for it not to be a really noisy clicky one. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I have a really noisy clicky one from the first PS2 days. The IBM solid state keyboard. It's 22 uears old and still clicks away a treat when I use it. Link to post Share on other sites

HeatherLocklearRocks 1 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I like the ones where the buttons have spaces between them and they aren't very big (high). I think Sony do ones like that. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 its a buffalo bluetooth - only cost 6k and very responsive and the function keys are integrated with most software ie if you use firefox, the web button opens firefox if set as your default. Link to post Share on other sites

kokodoko 67 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I have been using a microsoft ergonomic curved one for years, i love it. I have used it so much the model number has been rubbed off.. doh! Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Those only work if you're deformed so that you work best with your elbows poking out! Microshaft redefining "natural" the same as they redefined "intuitive"! Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 it'll probably do a click sound. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 But not physical rush of pushing a button. Important. Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Normal price VERY expensive, but I got this for 1/3 of the normal price. Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000. It's excellent as well. Love the feel of the keys and the backlights too. Always feel that the keyboard is an important part, after all it's what you use every time you are at your computer.

big-will 7 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Just looked at the "original" cost of that, over 30,000 yen! Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Looks interesting that. At a third of the normal price perhaps... Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 how does one operate the mouse with it up there? Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 The mouse and keyboard are both bluetooth. Thats the recharging dock. Put it on there, and the keyboard in that position to recharge. Take them both off that little dock to use. That little dock has 4 USBs too. The backlit keyboard bit is funkily attractive.
