ok so i get to pick a wireless keyboard for my work laptop.

id prefer just the keyboard, because i already have a corded mouse.
but it seems like a lot of keyboards already come with the mouse, so its not a big deal.

im thinking maybe around $60-$70 or so.
and it has to be with the USB key type thing, i bought a logitech wireless mouse but the pictures failed to show that it was indeed wireless, but the usb cord that plugged it was connected to the wireless thingy. which is not so practical. kinda like this.

pics would be nice, along with price.

im thinking about just getting

because the laptop is ibm and we may get deals through work.

well i do a lot of numbers and yeah i know i can turn on num. lock on the laptop, but im much more comfortable using a tad bit bigger keyboard.

i also have a laptop riser which makes it kind of hard to type when its at such an angle.

12/4/2007 3:57:25 PM

docking station?

and lol at the keyboard/ corndog haha

[Edited on December 4, 2007 at 3:58 PM. Reason : asd]

12/4/2007 3:58:11 PM

nah, its not a docking station,

its a slim riser type thingy

i used to have the IBM one..it wasn't too bad but those fast buttons at the top are hard to change

my USB key pretty much went all to shit and you can't buy a replacement for it

12/4/2007 7:22:28 PM

I've had this Logitech Keyboard Mouse combo for 4 years now. Hasn't let me down.

12/4/2007 7:29:14 PM

i have the logitech keyboard with the lcd display/lighted keys in it, i forget the model number

and i just got the mx revolution mouse

an unbeatable combo

12/4/2007 7:36:38 PM

12/4/2007 8:44:08 PM

If it says "Logitech" on it you can't go wrong. I envy those G15's...

check http://www.justdeals.net (com maybe) - they sometimes put them on the front page deal.

G15, $61 shipped, i got mine from newegg

and the mx revolution mouse tops every other mouse listed on this page in every way

plus who needs a wireless keyboard unless it's a HTPC

12/4/2007 10:05:14 PM

thanks for all the advice.



that is the one i bought the first time. i just dont like that 3rd piece, id much rather had the small USB key than that bulky think with long wires.

for a desktop it would have been nice. but not too practical for laptop.

i like that bluetooth keyboard.

hmmm, lets see how much i can get out of work

12/4/2007 10:09:49 PM

evan what does that LCD on the keyboard show you?

12/4/2007 10:10:50 PM

you can dl plugins.

i have an AIM plugin so i can chat on it. you can control your music with it, it shows syster load (memory and cpu usage), you can use a timer on it, it shows a clock.

12/4/2007 10:11:39 PM

pretty cool

12/4/2007 10:12:12 PM

^can also be ran into FPS games to show ammo counts... it's a beautiful thing.

tru i did that for counter strike

but seeing as to how tihs is for work i didn't include that

12/4/2007 10:12:59 PM

i mean i don't even play games and i find the g15 very useful

12/4/2007 10:16:34 PM

what is it like 18 programmable keys?

12/4/2007 10:22:57 PM

how bout this..for $60

http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=186189&linkid=j14143710k56446&affiliateid=k56446&mid=



looks pretty good

12/4/2007 10:27:49 PM

looks small

i like having the keys alil farther apart, much more comfortable and easier to type.

12/4/2007 10:28:58 PM

yeah, after i posted the pic i kind of second guessed myself.

the whole point is for me to get a better spread of the keys.

this looks pretty much like the laptop board

12/4/2007 10:30:03 PM

yessir.

12/4/2007 10:30:42 PM

all i know is my logitech sucks it only has like a 5' range

SHIT i say SHIT!

12/4/2007 10:31:41 PM

so lemme try to get this straight so i can help u look for something.


you want a keyboard to hook up to your laptop that you're going to be using at your desk?

is the keyboard going to stay on the same desk or are you going to move it around with the laptop?

12/4/2007 10:32:50 PM

wow, thats nice.

i dont think they will drop $150 for me.

it may be worth a try

my friend has the too, dropped $130 dollar bucks on it.

hates it like it's hot

12/4/2007 10:34:11 PM

the laptop will be on a laptop riser on a desk.

i dont like putting it on my lap. i want to recline back and type without worries.

i dont need anything fancy but i like these combos you guys have posted. i can deal with the least expensive one as long as it doesnt have large IR plug for the USB slot.

12/4/2007 10:36:40 PM

....

$70

That's what I have. Best typing keyboard I've ever had, and it's bluetooth which is nice if you ever get a laptop with builtin bluetooth it'll work without the USB thing.
