Just kind of wondering. My current keyboard is dying (more specifically the cable that connects to hit has split open and the wires which transmit data have also been partly damaged from the kink in it, and depending on how I move it, the keyboard loses connectivity).

I just ordered a replacement which should be here next Tuesday. My old keyboard was a Logitech G15 (version 1). I just ordered a "Tesoro Durandal Ultimate G1NL" as the replacement.

My mouse is a Logitech G9.

I have a wireless keyboard and a wired mouse. I got tired of switching out the batteries on the wireless mouse so I got a wired one. It works, so yeah...

Yeah I know what you mean about the wireless and changing batteries. I gave up on mine also due to interference that I would get which caused my typing or moving of the mouse to not get detected. One time it lasted a day straight, during which I finally popped on an extremely cheap wired mouse and keyboard I still had (and used when I needed to get into the BIOS on another system which didn't work with USB keyboards). That was the day I ordered my current keyboard and mouse...

I use a very generic dell keyboard.

But, my mouse is this one:

I've had it for over two years, and It's the best mouse i've ever owned. When it's dead and gone, I don't know what I'll do.

I use a generic keyboard too, but i use the Razer Naga mouse. I'll never use a regular mouse again. So many buttons and so much control

That is just too many buttons for my thumb :D

I wouldn't mind maybe 2 more than the G9 has (lower down on the side from the two that already exist), but any more than that and I feel that you would lose track of what button you are actually pressing.

Image

On that note, the new keyboard arrived on Saturday. I am still getting use to it, but so far I am liking it. I think once I am more familiar with it I will be able to type faster as I don't need to press the key all the way down to the bottom for it to activate, just 2mm depression activates the key. I havn't played with all the macros that I can set and game modes etc., but from a build standpoint, it feels VERY solid. The keys seem nicely shaped and spaced properly.

Image

(Note the pic above shows the arm/handrest attached which I don't use and the LED backlight can be dimmed or completely turned off).


That is the one thing I really do not like about my laptop keyboard, the keys are chicklet keys with a flat surface and the spacing just doesn't feel right. I wish it had the normal cylindrical curvature...
