Need a new keyboard.

[Vikkturr]

Hey guys, its been 3 years and this thing finally died. Was looking for a good keyboard that I could get at best buy. Any suggestions? Oh and it can NOT be wireless. I despise anything wireless....

Logitech has consistent levels of quality, and most stores tend to offer their products on the shelf for reasonable prices.

the keyboard & mouse I bought at best buy are wireless (I know you hate wireless,) but I have owned it since about January..the combo is great, and the battery life is a minimum of 2 years I believe for mouse & keyboard..this is the best keyboard I have ever bought from best buy, and for it's price with the mouse I really do appreciate it. it has a palm/wrist rest on the keyboard and a wave style for the keys that makes it very comfortable, here is a look if you are interested.

Ya i have just had bad experiences with wireless not functioning properly.

I understand your frustration with wireless input devices. There's a lot to be said for battery-less and interference-less keyboards and mice. I did own a nice wireless mouse for a while, but when the batteries died and I popped in an "old" USB mouse, I forgot all about being cordless.

I've also noticed using the same wireless mouse near my laptop degrades my wireless connection quality slightly (available speed dropped and faulty packets sent/received went up), possibly due to the similar 2.4 ghz frequencies in use with wifi.

I use a wired Razer Abyssus and SteelSeries 7g (I think) wired.

Response time is amazing on this keyboard and the keys are not bad either. But that is strictly my opinion Its a decent price and its wired. Its also got a beefy cable housing so fraying the darn cord is almost impossible on a normal wear and tear policy.

I have this keyboard but normally use the microsoft wave for gaming I love the curve on the keyboard.

Ya i was looking for that razor one there but Best Buy didnt have it. All they had was wireless crap and one wire keyboard that was $100. So i just found a generic $20 wire one. Oh well.

Did your keyboard catch fire from the extreme levels of friction that it had undergone through all of your recruiting?

Yes. Yes it did.
