keyboards
 

someone spilled coffee on my superior Cherry RS6000M keyboard and the circuits have been damaged. actually only one row was damaged, causing my SHIFT key not to work :(

so, I want a new one. I don't need fancy add-ons, a wireless one or an illuminated one. it can cost some money if it's good :)

most important is the kind of button system the keyboard has. my cherry works with the keys fixed on the top part of the keyboard, and under them there are rubber thingies that are all connected to each other. it types very well, and it's easy to clean/take apart because the rubber thingies are connected to each other. not like those CHEAP keyboards with rubber thingies that are not connected to each other. if you have to open those (clean them, put a blue led in in it) you have to re-arrange those +100 rubber thingies, and you usually lose a few :wtf:

I don't like old fashioned keyboard keyboards, because they're so robust (strong) you have to press the keys hard. cheap keyboards often type too soft.

Aren't there any laptop-keyboards around?
I've heard RB say they type very well, and also, you make less noise when typing (important as my rattling keyboard keeps my parents awake)

who's got some info on this stuff?

buy a new Cherry board?:)

yeah but it's not easy to find the exact model. I've seen a lot of them on ebay.de. well I've got some money now so I'll try to get one

but aren't there any other quality keyboards?

Coolermaster



Logitech has a sort OEM keyboard that is a laptopmodel it costs around € 28,00

more info, where to get?

edit: only interested in the logitech one. the coolermaster one is very nice, but I don't like the position of the arrow keys

guess my cherry is a budget keyboard, a high-budget keyboard can only get better :)

i guess not :s

I've already looked for those logitech boards at the main distributor. but I couldn't find them anywhere.

If you find them, let us know. I'll keep an eye out too.

had a look at the G81-1000 keyboard this morning, at school. it's still the old-fashioned one with micro-switches

I'll get a G83, if mom sponsors me I'll also get a G81. I'll use the best one on my main pc, other one on linux pc

There OEM keyboards and the price is +- € 30.00

They can be bought here:

naam keyb: Logitech Keyb. UltraX Flat bulk

too late, i've bought a logitech internet navigator

it's not bad, but it uses separate rubber thingies that are NOT connected to each other => rectal pain to take apart and clean :(

it's a bit odd, i've opened the backplate to put a blue led in it. the keyboard controller is accessible then, but the inner part with the sensors etc. is hidden behind another piece of plastic

thanks anyway

That's quite wierd. I checked out the (as far as I know) only logitech distributer for belgium, and I couldn't find it.
So they're either importing, or the distributer is using some wierd name I can't track.

I'll definitly look into this. Using my laptop made me realize how much pressure I have to place on my regular keyboard.

I saw them in a shop in Oostende (www.lingier.be). I didn't see a box in the shop so I informed and the price was +- € 30, as there is no retailbox I think it is primarly intended for OEM-sale.

You can't find them on the logitech website, they are hided in the OEM-section. The name of the board is UltraX
