New Keyboard

[Bushwacker]

I'm thinking I might like to give this board a try. The only thing I'm not to king on is "No 10 key pad." :huh: Other than that, it looks good and I like the features. :tup:

I'm going to be looking for a new keyboard soon myself. Nothing as extreme as what you have there but I do have the requirement that it MUST have a wire. I dont deal with wireless keyboards.

[Bushwacker]

Yeah wireless sux.

Agreed wireless sucks, anyway on the keyboard, tell us how it works for you I don't think I would like it much, just give me a plain old keyboard with media keys :)

You're kidding right? I'm using a wireless keyboard (which ain't as sexy as the one pictured) and mouse and I think they're both brilliant. As for gaming: After using the wireless mouse in CS I'd never go back..... *shakes head*

I have found that wireless input devices have a tiny bit of lag when playing FPS games. Also, there not quite as accurate.

You're right about the accuracy but it only took me a little bit of adjusting....Tweaking mouse sensitivity settings also helped....

The worst part though: When the low battery reminder pops up and I'm in a full screen programme and then can't figure out why the mouse stops working..... hehe

I dont go anywhere with my keyboard so I cant see the need to waste batteries. Maybe if I liked to put the keyboard in my lap or something it would be different.

hahaha that's the point of it! When I was sick my roomie hooked the TV up to this PC and I played DoW on the sofa with the TV and wireless mouse and keyboard.... Now THAT is gaming...hehehe
