Are you attached to your keyboard?

Dr. Z · 22-11-2006, 16:11

I love my keyboard. I was thinking about upgrading (to something like a G15) but I just dont like anything else. I will use this keyboard until it is dead!

Its a Logitech Internet Navigator. IMO, one of the best keyboards ever. Three years later and some of the paint is worn and the wrist rest definitely knows where my hands like to sit but it has never missed a beat.

Is the G15 the "best" keyboard today? I seem to recall "back in the day" that this keyboard was right up there...

Me and you have the same keyboard and mouse dude, and I'm the same, I cant see me changing

The poser in me was tempted by a Di Novo at one point though, it's tres sexy.

I'm fussy about keyboards. I really like my (/turns keyboard over to check name) Microsoft Wireless Natural Multimedia keyboard. I've got one in the UK office, 1 in Paris and a couple at home plus a few spares in the office for when I inevitably kill one with a coffee related mishap.

When I find a keyboard I like, I'm loathed to change.

I bet that one is not available any more - I'm using a Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 which is pretty good, but the black colour makes any dust and dirt stand out a lot more than on a traditional coloured one.

I spent a fair while looking for an MS wireless Natural keyboard with no joy so I got the 4000 as my old MS natural was on it's last elbows. Work bought me one for my desk here as well

MS Natural Ergonomic 4000's here mainly now *as they're cheap and easily available.*

Also have several MS Natural Pro's which I absolutely adore but are getting very rare now.

Won't use any other keyboards if at all possible. Ergonomic are the way forward.

Fond of my DiNovo and it lets me sit away from the screen

I use a MS bluetooth elite keyboard here at work which isn't bad, but I prefer my MS erg keyboard I used at uni as it was excellent once you got used to the layout.

A keyboard is pretty much just a keyboard to me although I admit I need to have a double-height return key and American layouts just hack me off.

My current one is a Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard 1.0A in black which I haven't seen for years so when it eventually breaks I'll just buy another bog-standard Microsoft one I imagine because I like the action but most keyboards now are pretty good that I've used including several Dell ones and a couple of Logitechs.

I've got the same keyboard as you too

Love it, it just fits perfectly

I like my Logitech MX3000 desktop - laser mice for a start seem to work better for me, but I like the way the keyboard feels. It's relatively quiet too - I don't like loud keyboards. I REALLY like my laptop's keyboard - which is why I only ever get HP laptops.

I don't really like MS keyboards - I'm a logitech fanboy I'm afraid

The di novo is nice but I can't justify the cost tbh.
