It's almost surprising how many people have mechanical keyboards here, but being a place with obsessive compulsive geeks, I guess I should've seen it coming.

Mechanical meaning wired keyboards? That's because they're more reliable and better for gaming or productivity.

Logitech G11 here, fantastic keyboard.

OK. So I'm in the process of building a media PC that will be hooked up to my home theater. I'm looking for a wireless keyboard (bluetooth would be preferred but not required) that has a built in touchpad. Any suggestions? About the only one I can find is the Logitech DiNovo but I'm not sure I like its design.

I can only think of the DiNovo too. A lot of HTPC keyboards should have touchpads though.

Maybe Adesso makes something similar too. I walked around a local Barnes and Nobles and found out the computers have a keyboard with a touch pad on it. The computer froze, so I couldn't really play with it, but IIRC the keyboard has sort of a laptop feel to it, albeit a bit thick.

Planar Head, that link has gotten me back into keyboards. Perhaps instead of the DT880 i'll get a blank Cherry Brown Majestouch.

Glad to get you back in the game. (And say sorry to your wallet for me.)

 

[coredump]

Been using the original Saitek Eclipse for many years. It's a rock solid keyboard. I've actually seen them in use at two different hospitals on mobile PC stations.

Filco Majestouch Brown and Deck Fire Red 82 key.

 

[El_Doug]

Anyone have any experience with the Topre Realforce mechanical/capacitive hybrid keyboards?

 

[Ypoknons]

Happy Hacking Keyboards use Topre too, IIRC. No such luck for me though, I'm using a IBM M13 and Filco Majestouch with the Browns.

OK, YOU WANT A LAUGH ON ME??? I thought for sure this "Post" was going to be about the fi-members keyboards, as in a piano or organs (thought for sure I'd be seeing someones hamond B3 with a pr.of Leslies).....DAMN, how old am I??? Anyway some nice pics and info about KEYBORADS.........
