New keyboard

Natal · 06-14-2010, 05:16 AM

Heh...I bought a new keyboard this week. It is a Logitech illuminated keyboard, aside from looking cool it has backlit keys that light up the letters, which is a big plus in my poorly lit den in the evening...now I can see what I'm typing

This is the keyboard (hope this link works)

Does look wicked. Myself, the one thing I'm still decent at is typing (learned on an Olympus manual many moons ago & only gave up my Underwood manual about a dozen years back). The result is, I tend to play my keyboard like Ray Charles played the piano, head down, eyes closed, hitting hopefully the right note. Still, I like it, and I do need a new keyboard so I'm keeping this in mind along with a Logitech trackball to replace my mouse (I've heard good things about them). Nice tip, Natal.

Nice keyboard. I'm using cordless logitech keyboards since many years now. They last pretty long unless I spill another soft drink over them which seems to happen every 2 or 3 years, lol.

Bit like T-bone i tend to spill something over my keyboards lol, on my forth keyboard last two got ruined by spilling drinks on both of them and one just packed up, needless to say i only buy the cheap basic Dell ones.

, oops there goes another!.

Nice looking keyboard though Natal.

I have a back-lit keyboard on my Dell laptop; thought it was a gimmick when I bought it (it's a refurbished laptop so I didn't have a choice), but it's really convenient when you're on the go, stuck in a poorly lit area, and still use the "hunt and peck" method of typing.

Nice keyboard, Mr. Natal. I still use a Logitech traditional one from early 2005, only lit by the screen. Lucky I (still) have a fine night sight.

I use a Logitech light weight keyboard that won't blow even if you spill a drink on it. It cleans easily. I also use a Logitech Trackball (thumb operates the ball) and I love it!

I still use one of those old IBM clicky keyboard, and I love it
