Title: Which input devices..?
Post by: Binary Shadow on July 28, 2011, 21:17:46 PM
Well my logitech MX1000 has finally succumb to the coke spillage that it encountered some time ago, now its double clicking randomly and pissing me off!

So.. I ordered a Logitech Performance Mouse MX.. you know the darkfield laser £60-80 mouse.. but its out of stock so I'm still waiting.
My logitech DiNovo cordless keyboard is looking rather 2nd hand these days as well, so I thought the logitech K800 keyboard looks pretty sweet! £80-90

But.. since there's a delay on the mouse.. i got to thinking.. what would you guys recommend?

What I'm looking at so far:

http://www.ebuyer.com/172750-logitech-performance-mouse-mx-with-darkfield-laser-tracking-usb-with-910-001121

So is there something better or an alternative you would recommend?

I'd love a Logitech illuminated keyboard, I'd have wired though. Typing on them is supposed to be excellent too, its not just paying for pretty backlit keys (or silly dayglo 'gamer' keys instead).

i dont think i can go wired after being wireless for so long, 10 days between recharges is pretty good as well

I'd stick with Wireless, but spending £30 on a Keyboard and Mouse for me is my limit, i play all games on a standard MS Desktop Wireless Kit, the 3000 i believe with Bluetrack.

PS. The one i posted in Bargains :P

LOL I'd imagine it's got a movement sensor like the harmony remote, it's really sensitive, and I mean really, if it's on the sofa and you walk past it'll light up..

My vote would have gone for an original IBM model M (silver label) keyboard, proper mechanical keys. Built like a tank, fabulous for typing and games. Mine is better than any keyboard I've tried since, and I have tried a lot of keyboards including several M$ natural ones and the Logitech equivalents  Wub

Despite mine being circa 1986 all they keys are fully readable and work perfectly  :w00t:  :ptu:

Then again I did prefer the IBM Selectric typewriter keyboards, although those were golfball typewriters. I've never used anything better than that.
