An 8 quid logitech media keyboard with one of the legs at the back broken so now I use a lighter to tilt it up. It works though

Logitech G15 - the big old one not the newer small ghey version

Drool! I think that may be my next keyboard. May I ask how much it cost you?

Logitech Wave. I've had it for just over a year now IIRC, however, I'm notoriously hard on keyboards so it's a bit knackered now. Currently I'm after a Microswitched board. At work, I use an old Dell AT102W I found lying about and I love it.

Logitech DiNovo Edge - can't fault it, had a few of the DiNovos (use one of the older ones on my other PC)

Edit - Isn't backlit and a few of the keys now have no letters on them (caused by playing FPS games!) other than that no issues!

Edit 2 - Not sure if they have changed it but mine isn't quite the same as the image (taken from the logitech site) as in the image some keys have moved around and the enter on mine is normal size and normal place.

Got a G11 here. Quite like it as it has the music controls and the backlight but it is just a bit big due to the useless(for me) macro keys.

Need a new keyboard due to my lovely lady breaking the wrist support because I was annoying her with rick ross songs

ATM it's an old Saitek Eclipse

But normally it's the Logitech internet one

Monkeynut · 8 Jan 2011 at 14:04

Some Dell thing, though wish I had an Optimus Maximus.

Really don't know how anyone can use a keyboard that has the silly small enter key, or the tiny backspace key, or some other awful layout change from the 'norm'.

Microsoft Reclusa, I got it for £16.99 from Amazon. Bit of a steal realy.

Every time I use a keyboard with keys like that I find my fingers are uncomfortable as the key edges are so straight edged!

Maybe it's due to me being used to keys with softer edges but I would find them too uncomfy for daily use!

A Logitech K750 Solar.

It's got a solar app which is worth the outlay by itself.

Wow, now that's a sexy keyboard (never thought I'd say that!). I want to join the Castiel & Khaaan! club

I've been keeping my eye out for a new keyboard for years. The gaming ones seem to be really naff and made up from the cheapest mould of plastic manufacturers can find illuminated by a cheesy light. Arctosa, G11, G15, all meh.

What's it made of? Decent build quality?

Unless Castiel wants to then I can put up detailed closeup pics and a small review in General Hardware early next week if you like

We've both had the diNovo keyboards previously and I've used Logitech wireless boards for years of many different models so it would be a good comparison perhaps!

As said previously, I'm on one of the original blue G15s too. Another PC in the house has the newer orange one, and I prefer the size/shape of it. But the blue backlighting and tiltable screen means overall I prefer the older one

Got one of those elsewhere, have to agree with you on it. It really is the best keyboard I've ever used :cool:

.

To those with the Logitech K750 solar thingy: Does it charge all-right off of electric bulbs? Or is it sunlight only?
Also (bearing in mind I've never seen one in real life) does it look decent enough? I can't help but think the photos on the Logitech website make the solar panels seem really pronounced and ugly.

Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000. Cheap, cheaful, comfortable. Nice key action. I would only better it by adding a backlight.

Can not stand my (new) Apple keyboards at work.

That does look very nice. Look on ebay and the cheapest I can find is around £50 from the US, which means there could be import duty on top :eek:

.

What would be a decent price for this would you say? Going to keep my eye out for one.

mrk · 8 Jan 2011 at 15:30

This video I just found on Youtube should give you an idea of how pronounced the panels are in indoor lighting, I think the promo pics just amplify it because of the studio lighting they used.
