I swapped to a logitech trackball when I started getting pains in my wrists took awhile to get use to but wouldn't go back to a mouse now 
As for keyboards the space above the arrow key is a must, I'm a shift-insert kind of guy and I noticed a couple of keyboards have replaced the insert and delete keys above the arrow keys with a single delete key and I find those a nightmare to use.

Who needs LED? Don't know where your keys are?Intrigued wrote: Here's a tip for those Keyboard makers. Have one that LED lites up at night (all keys!) and has 17mm (like my laptop) key travel. Then wrap that all up in a Natural (ergonomic) style and I would buy such on the spot!
Or, has someone a link to such a keyboard?
The correct plural of "mouse" is "mice".Killswitch wrote:All of my keyboards have been 'creatively borrowed' from various places...As have all of my mouses (can you believe thats the correct plural?) and speakers...

$80? Should be much cheaper since there haven't been used a laser to burn the letters on the keys.

I agree with you to a point. I am more intrigued with the different weighting used and illustrated here:GeoTrail wrote:$80? Should be much cheaper since there haven't been used a laser to burn the letters on the keys.

For a quality keyboard that I actually enjoy using would be worth the $80 to me. I am growing weary of absolute junk that I end up throwing away in a short amount of time, but I did get a good "deal" on it.

What does that mean? How heavy it is?

Yes, the amount of effort required to register as a keypress. For example, your outside "Pinky" fingers don't have as much strength as your thumbs, so the thumb keys will require a bit more effort while the outside keys will require a lighter touch.

Aaa now I see what you mean.
I was actually thinking of getting one of those old model keyboards, or a sledgehammer typewriters hehehe. My girlfriend says it sounds like I'm trying to kill my keyboard. Old habit I guess hehehe
