rant: Chinese can't even make proper keyboard and mouse

[Castout]

Ha ha yea it is rather funny and stupid on my part.


I'll look for a decent mouse and keyboard tomorrow.

Couldn't find ergonomic nor proper gaming keyboard at all. Was looking for Microsoft ergonomic keyboard specifically but found only Logitech multimedia keyboard at best and decided to postpone buying a new keyboard. The current one is still good and would really only buy the one I want. Either a proper gaming keyboard or an ergonomic keyboard.

But I got home with Logitech MX518 mouse.

So far it feels great. A little heavy but great. I'm going to use it to full with games I play: ArmA 2, Word of tanks and Steel Beasts Pro PE.

I have a Chinese keyboard a Chicony, its ugly, blue and white colors with big silver colored buttons for media player which I dont even used. But the kb works well. I needed a kb real quick after the space bar no longer working on my old one (to much spamming the spacebar button during FPS multiplayer lol) so headed into town to our pitiful computer store that only had two keyboards for sale - one was very small all black & quite cool but just too small for me. The other was the Chicony big and ugly.

Ah . . . .reading your post Frank, maybe I'll get that multimedia Logitech keyboard.

I just hate not being able to find the products that I want to buy and forced to settle into lesser one. The product is not even a rare luxury(Microsoft ergonomics keyboard costs only about 20 bucks from their site, that thing called comfort curve keyboard). Of course there's the hundred bucks one.

Castout, are you able to buy through a place like TigerDirect or Newegg? I know it would take longer to get hold of the devices you need, but much wider selection at least.

If you're looking for a gaming keyboard, I cannot recommend anything more highly than the Razer Black Widow mechanical keyboard. I got mine 3 months ago and it makes any other non-mechanical keyboard seem like garbage. The feel of the keys is something that has to be experienced. Be warned though, if you go with a mechanical keyboard, you will never go back to a non-mechanical keyboard.

Umm unless they accept wire transfer I cannot transact with them. .
Can't even use Paypal because somehow it cannot get verified.

Thanks. I'm not usually a sophisticated keyboard and mouse user but would love to have a back lighted keys in keyboard that comes in ergonomic shape.

I've changed my mind about getting Logitech [older] media keyboard and even prefer their no frills K120 keyboard due to its thick white key symbols that are easy on the eyes even in bad lighting.

Of course if there's an ergonomic one or one which comes with backlighted keys it will be even better. But I'm in no hurry. I'll get it when I found the one that suits me.

yea fare enough, get the one that works for you. As for me any kb will do as long as when I press a key it happens. Mouse's on the other hand I like to use a good mouse I have a A4Tech Lazar mouse that works well though I want to get the Cyborg R.A.T 9 Gaming Mouse one of these days when the price comes down - $249.99 over here.

Come to think of it, Tiger Direct does accept wire transfers:

Doesn't look like Newegg will, but they do accept prepaid checks/money orders, and direct transfer from checking account:

Hey thanks for the intention. I found a local online retailer guys. They even accept payment on delivery including CC and debit card payment on delivery

Now I can't find the one I wanted but they have a wide selection enough to confuse me lol including a pretty complete array of Microsoft and Logitech keyboards.

Now it boils down to guilt , whether to pick that silly LCD equipped and back lit keyboard or a general stylish back lit keyboard or a wireless ergonomic Microsoft keyboard. . . . . . .or the guilt free, no frills Logitech K120 with the biggest white key symbol indicators .

I have to read some reviews . . . .

Right on, Castout.
