Thread: What Keyboard are you using ?

I'm looking for a new computer keyboard , not such an easy task as it sounds with so many models and styles to choose from . I seem to be at my computer more at night time , so one of my priorities is now having illuminated keys . I'm not into gaming so that type of keyboard is not important .

Ive never really thought much about keyboards and their design before, but now looking at what's currrently avaiable it seems a science on its own, I was wondering what type of keyboard others here were using , do you take your keyboard seriously or does it just sit there and you tap away not giving a thought to your keyboards design and functions . So what keyboard are you using ?

^ a black one with white letters. After that, f*ck knows....

All my best wishes in your hunt for an illuminated keyboard.

I don't recall seeing a Keyboard with illuminated keys but I guess they will be out there somewhere.

I would strongly suggest getting a Cordless System however - Keyboard and Mouse. I have a Logitech Cordless Pro which I love - there are no Cables for either Keyboard or Mouse to clutter up my desk which is a huge improvement. An Optical or Laser Mouse is also much better than the Ball type (if they are still sold that is).

This Moshi illuminated keyboard looks very nice

Is Jimmyboy Jimmy25 reincarnated? But his interests have switched from guitars to computers? Is that you, Jimmy25?

Sorry , not a reincarnated Jimmy25 , although the idea of being able to play the guitar does sound nice . So what keyboard are you using

Nidhogg's is black with white letters. Mine is white with black letters.

Now you're really spoilt for choice.

Mine's black with black letters

I can add wireless to the mix...

Logitech - Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800

Works brilliantly and goes about 10 days before it needs charging which is done via USB and still function whilst charging.

I've got a black Microsoft keyboard. No problems, no fuss.

I do like the look of those illuminated ones though...

(now that's a serious bit of kit worthy of its own thread...)

It is.

Razer products have a great rep for being fantastic, and failing often. Review sites are littered with horrendously, happy users, and an equal share of pissed off punters

Now this is for serious keyboarders

I prefer using Logitech Keyboard and Mouse..
I am using this for more than 4 years without any fault.

I gave up on my quest for a decent keyboard that has illuminated keys , until now .


The Logitech K811 Bluetooth Illuminated Easy Switch Keyboard




It seems to be able to do most things I want , there's a Windows version ( K810 )

Ive not yet been able to find it on sale locally , but its on sale on ebay

Logitech K811 MAC iOS Bluetooth Illuminated Rechargeable Wireless Keyboard Box | eBay


It's a bit pricey

I've got a Microsoft Reclusa.

Sounds like the kind of keyboard an Italian hermit might have.
