[xteraco]

oh yeah! I got some new gear!!! here's some pix of what i got

mouse:


keyboard:




1gb mp3/ogg vorbis player:


all that and a 25 case of dvd + r DL's! look how small the keyboard is compared to the usb plug, i held teh keyboard up to a dollar bill, and its about 1/3 longer.... thats prettytiny, and it lights up!!! w00t!!!!

next week i'm ordering a new atx case (mine is wasted) either that or i'm gonna save my chek, then wait another 2 weeks and get a 19" flatscreen. :bounce:


oh yeah, my website'sdown atm, cause the new mouse and keyboard use all my usb ports up.... my site was served off a 512mb thumbdrive, so till i install more usb ports the site will be down.... wich should be no later than sunday[/img]

Keyboard - eugh. I prefer big old clunky AT keyboards (I'm using one right now), they feel far better than them laptop keyboards IMO

Nice backlit keys though, mouse looks nice too...

i have a friend who has a full size keyboard, butw/ the short throw laptop like keys, and i liked typing on it alot, and i remember thinkin i'd liek a keyboard like that, but smaller... getting used to this keyboard is kida tuff, but i'll get hte hang of it... the space bar doesent like to work (i think its cause it needs broken in)

i like everything i have to be small as possible, i dont know whyfor sure, i think it was something i developed when i was homeless (2 years) cause i pretty much lived in a car, and if it wasnt small, then i couldnt keep it.... its become a way of life .... lol

another reason i chose this particular keyboard is because it has no num pad, i'm a numpad junky! and it slows me down... like when i'm coding, if i want to typein a number, i would take my hand off home-row, and go type the number on the numpad, then find my way back to home-row.... needless to say, thats a non efficient way to type(leaving home row, just to type 1 number on thenumpad) so hopefully this keyboard will break me away from that and make me more productive

If you want to talk more about this experience, I'd love to hear it. If not, then that's your choice that I respect.

btw: nice gear man!

i reckon in a few years everyone will have an OLED keyboard, apparently they're only about £200 now, i thought they would be much more expensive.

For now i'll just buy a whole bunch of them £1 and under keyboards and re label them!

Normal keyboards w/laptop-like keys rock

I type faster with it, after I got used to it (which took half a week at most) "normal" keyboards felt unnecessarily clunky.
