SPEC ME A KEYBOARD LOL

FrostedNipple · 2 Dec 2006 at 17:15

this is a serious thread lol,
i would like a keyboard thats cheap, must be under£40 preferable under £30
must be black
and cant be a compact gaming thing, i want a numberpad and f keys

it doesnt have to have special keys or be ergonomic

i know this doesnt really narrow down me to a few, but thats why i came to ocuk, so i could get the best performance for money

thnx, dont care what make as long as it will last at least a year

Some people can't stand ergonomic keyboards, but it works for me.

My Microsoft Internet Keyboard is fine for me. Think it cost me about a tenner when I got it...or was it £7 in some offer?

the ergonomic one looks cool, but im not a typical typer, often i will only use one hand to type, im lazy and couldnt care less about repetitve strain.

is the saitec eclipse 2 is it wired or wireless

ca9phoenix · 2 Dec 2006 at 17:58

i have an eclopse 2, it's wired but don't let that put you off it's a great keyboard... i've been playing hl2 for the past 3 hours and my fingers and wrists don't care.... it looks good too when lit up.

damn theres no b-grade

Get the eclipse I, it's a great keyboard. Don't like the second version, it just doesn't look as good.

To be honest, you have to be able to type without looking at the keyboard, or it'll drive you mental

Saitek PZ30AU Eclipse Illuminated Keyboard - Blue

and the eclipse 2

whats whats differnec, i dont see one other than it doesnt have colour change

if you cant find one then im obviously gona go with the cheaper one

ca9phoenix · 2 Dec 2006 at 18:09

version 1 black with silver buttons
version 2 silver with black buttons

FrostedNipple · 2 Dec 2006 at 18:11

oo yer, now ya mentioned it version 1 looks better

inactionman · 2 Dec 2006 at 18:44

Yeah that's why I prefer the first version over the second. I have the blue one, but the red has a nice BSG Cylonesque look to it, if it had been out at the time I would have probably got that instead.

I use the belkin wireless keyboard and optical mouse. It's pretty good but the colour on the mouse wears off after a while was only £20 though
