Top notch product that. Would be the best ever if the keys were in the right place. But for a entertainment desktop set it's perfect.

OK, surely a keyboard is a keyboard. I type on my R39 Esquire one and the letters appear on the screen. Incredible really! Do the above keyboards do the same? Or do they type for you?

 

[TheRift]

Indeed. But so what? There's something to be said for decent input devices. I use a USB Logitech UltraX flat keyboard at the office. Cost about R200. After using those flat keys I'll never go back to using those big-ass clackityclack buttoned keyboards. My colleague couldn't understand paying R200 (let alone R1.5K for my dinovo set) until about 3 weeks ago when another keyboard with low-profile keys wound up on his desk. He also couldn't understand why I need a laser mouse with ergonomic shape and why it has to be wireless and why spend that money ... until he spent all of 2 seconds on my MX900 at the office.

If you want something similar there is always the Logitech G15. My only gripe is that it doesn't have a full-size left shift key, obviously you only find this kind of thing out after you have bought it.

Logitech is a funny company when it comes to that. I have 3 dinovos here. First and second from the USA, marked for EU keys apparently and then an "official" USA one bought from Frontosa. The last one ofcourse has a wonky shaped ENTER key and the miniature left SHIFT key. I would have transferred the BT radios from this one to the other one with different layout if the radios weren't so sensitive to static and if the other ones keys weren't flakey.

I play online games so much i got fed up replacing my cheapie mobo every 3 months because the keys are no longer visible, buttons break.

I bought the g15 nearly 18 months ago and the keys are still perfect.

Not everyone types only on their keyboards lance. there are other uses for keyboard other than myBB .

Like hours and hours of frustrating software development, for example.

I'm very possibly going to be replacing my Logitech wireless desktop set soon... It was bought sort of on a budget and its showing.. some keys are no longer marked....

I'm kind of leaning towards an MS Natural keyboard setup... since I prefer them...

:erm:
I would not pay that price for a keyboard without a numeric keypad.
