Das Keyboard / Apple Keyboard With Numeric Keypad
Replies: 6 | Post Date: 06-23-2009, 03:00 PM | User: Masashi | Forums: hardforum.comI decided to get a new keyboard, your input would be appreciated. I don't play wow so macro keys are unnecessary. I actually spend most of my time typing up papers, with the occasional fps/rts. These are two keyboards that i'm currently looking at:
Daskeyboard $130
Apple keyboard with numeric keypad $50

Das Keyboard
Ok, here is the idea. Someone has made a keyboard with no markings. The idea is that since you can't ever look at the keys to see what you are trying to type you will dramatically improve your keyboarding skills. The board has "individually weighted keys, " which is apparently super duper (or marketing bs). But i was thinking, this could actually work, especially for the weird keys no one ever memorizes, like the @#$%^ etc. Someone with $$ go buy this board and keep us updated!

Quiet Mechanical, No Numeric Pad, Full Size Keys Keyboard
Help me find this mythical creature! (And, if at all possible, keep the cost under $100). My razer tarantula is just too big for what currently passes for my "desk" and has a bunch of features i never, ever use. I've literally never programmed a single one of the shortcut keys, and i've had the thing a little less than a year. It's time to replace it. I need to keep full size keys - there is a reason i bought my 12" hp over a 9" or 10" netbook that'd do everything i do computation-wise with it for 1/3rd the cost. I'd like this keyboard to be very compact, as in no unnecessary blank spaces beyond those to preserve layout and no huge bezel, but i am not willing to sacrifice key size to get there. Really, if you took a standard full keyboard like the razer lycosa and cut the numeric pad and wrist-rest off then halved the size of the bezel, that'd be my ideal layout. I realize that may not be possible, of course. I also feel the tarantula is a bit "mushy" for lack of a better word, though please don't confuse this with wanting more force necessary to push keys; i don't. I would like to switch to mechanical key switches on my next board, however, partly in hopes of reducing stress on my hands (i type a lot, that's not going to change any time soon) and partly to increase the keyboard's longevity. That said, i also really, really don't want the thing to be loud. At all. Clicky-clicky noises are bad, and i am afraid this could prove a problem. Anything louder than your standard membrane or laptop type keyboard will drive me nuts, and fast. If anything i would like it to be quieter than most. From what i understand the nearest switch to what i would want is the cherry "black" type, so i've used that as a place to start. I've found a few potential options in the $50-100 range, but they are all either too big, too small (smaller keys, very strange layout), or in some other way severely flawed. So, does the collective consciousness of the mighty [h] know my mind here? Any suggestions? If you recommend a given model, please include how / where to purchase it, as i've found several japanese manufactured boards i really like the look of that i either can't find for sale, or that importers want $200+ for.

Basic Wireless Mini Keyboard Without A Built In Keypad Or Mouse Device
I've been looking for a basic wireless mini keyboard without a built in keypad or mouse device. Basically as small as possible while retaining the basic qwerty and arrow keys and at least a close to normal key size. I purchased this and basically got what i paid for: a non-working garbage keyboard. What's out there for me besides the dinovo keyboards?

Printscreen Button Not Available On Apple Keyboard
I am having trouble to make a screenshot with my keyboard since my keyboard doesn't have a printscreen button available! Normally, i could just hit the printscreen-button and then paste the printscreen to some photo editor (paint or irfanview), but with this apple keyboard i cannot do this, even if i've tried all possible buttons. Why?! I am using this keyboard and i am running on windows xp. I want to use this keyboard since it's such a great keyboard, but i would love to make printscreen to work! I hate all these external applications that i must install in order to use them to take a screenshot whenever i want to. Any ideas on how i can take screenshots with the above mentioned keyboard? Is there a way that i could perhaps assign the buttons or something? And no, i don't want to change keyboard. I want to use this keyboard. And yeah, i know this keyboard is for mac-users, but every other buttons and key-functions seems to be working great so far, all except prntscrn, which is somehow gone or something.

Full Size Keyboard Similar To Apple G5
I used to have an apple g5 keyboard, the previous generation before the current dumb aluminum ones. But it's dead now and i'm looking for a replacement. I could just get another one for about $45 but was wondering if there is a similar and better option, say under $100. I really like the g5 especially the extra function keys (f13-f16) and the volume buttons. Those are all the extra keys i need; don't need any more. And the buttons have a good feel. I don't want one of those ibm model m keyboards that require too much push to press and are loud as ***, but also don't want one with very little tactile feedback. Also, it looks pretty nice. Any alternatives need to also look fairly nice. I thought about kinesis, and even used one for six months at my old job, but it sucks that it doesn't have a number pad and the extra function keys. Plus it's rather expensive.

Dell Mini Keyboard Smaller Than Normal-keyboard ?
How much smaller is a dell mini keyboard than a normal keyboard? I recently purchased a dell mini laptop and was wondering-how much smaller is the dell mini keyboard than a normal keyboard? I don't want my fingers to feel cramped. I was also wondering how much smaller the screen is. Are items on the screen actually smaller or do you just have to scroll around the window?
Dell mini user's opinions are very welcome.

Intermittent Keyboard Problem - Keyboard Is Non Responsive
I bought a compaq presario sr1630nx a few months ago and i've noticed an intermittent keyboard problem for the last month or so. I don't know if it's a hardware or a software problem or how i would tell. The keyboard has a ps/2 connector. I have not changed any of the default hardware. Symptoms: i sometimes try to type and no keys on the keyboard do anything. The mouse works fine. I am not aware of performing any particular action before i notice that the keyboard is non-responsive.
Rebooting makes the keyboard work again. This problem occurs with a frequency of 2 times a day to once a week. I've installed more recent keyboard/mouse drivers for this machine (posted on the compaq site), but that's hasn't helped. Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be? Is there a utility that i could run when the problem happens that would give me more information?

Desktop Keyboard Like / Feel Laptop Keyboard
My logitech g15 is crapping out and i'm looking for a new keyboard. I don't really wanna spend large amounts of money since it seems all keyboards last ~2 years anyway. I would like a keyboard that has a tactile response almost exactly like a laptop. Anyone have any examples?

Looking For New Keyboard
Looking for new keyboard. As an old-school computer user, i have always used these old clackety clack keyboards. Either scavenged old keyboards or newer ones based on old technology. (At the moment i use keytronic kt1000, great keyboard) reason is simple, i can press almost unlimited number of keys at the same time, no matter what the combination. When keyboards at first started "evolve in technology" to smaller and lighter ones, the ability to press multiple keys was lost or at-least it was limited to certain combinations. Is it still this case in nowadays? (I haven't followed the evolution of keyboards, really) while my trusty keytronic is still functional, there is a thing that i would like to have: back-lighted keys. This would be so handy when playing in the dark whenever you suddenly loose "the feel" where the keys and your fingers are!
But this pressing multiple keys is a question mark. Being able to press any keys at the same time in any combination is important for me as a gamer. One thing though, macro keys are not needed. Never felt the need for them with my old keyboards, and most likely they will remain unused in possible new ones, so personally i would like to not have them at all, they would just make the keyboard bigger.

Keyboard For Normal Use
So i am looking for a good keyboard for normal use. I don't care about showy leds (but if it is on there oh well) or special features. I write papers alot, as well as game too. I have been looking at keyboards for gaming, and they seem strange, so only a normal one.

How Much Would You Pay For A Keyboard ?
I am considering getting a razor lycossa mirror gaming keyboard which is more or less in my budget, now i never knew a keyboard could cost so much until i saw the price on their tarantula keyboards. All this because i recently (yes just recently) added a blue cathode tube to my antec 902 & now i want a keyboard which glows in the dark to go with it so i can sit here, play in the dark & enjoy my master peice. Would you pay almost $100 for a gaming keyboard or is $80 more then enough?

No Power To Keyboard
I just bought a used motherboard on ebay to replace the one in kids computer. Also replaced the power supply with one of 500 watts. Hoping the cpu is still reusable. Have no way to test it. When taking apart the kids computer that's worked for over a year. I noticed their motherboard had blown capacitors, later seeing the power to the motherboard was burnt and melted in some spots o both the psu and the motherboard connections. (Since bought them a better surge protector). The problem i'm having with the computer is i'm not getting power to the keyboard. I have nothing installed in pci slots. Using one stick of pc3200 memory. I am getting the post (which is reading the memory, hard drive and cpu fine) i've reset the cmos, leaving out the battery for hours. Removed the motherboard making sure nothing was shorting it out. However i didn't try it powered outside the case. I can't get into the setup without the keyboard, and it doesn't boot to hard drive or cd. Fans are all working fine. Post is telling me i reset the cmos. Press f1 to continue or delete to enter setup. I purchased a usb keyboard which also isn't working.

Press f1 to continue or delete to enter setup. I purchased a usb keyboard which also isn't working.

Keyboard Is Messed Up
I recently spilled something on my microsoft intellitype pro natural ergonomic 4000 keyboard and, after letting it dry and all that stuff, it started to mess up the keyboard keys. Now, "f" types both "f" and "space" and vice versa, "o" brings up the "my favorites key assignment screen, "5" or ". " Brings up both a "5" and ". " Together and finally, maybe the worst, "comma" brings me to the last page i visited. (Luckily, as i was typing this, i also found that the page is always exactly as i left it, so all the words i struggled to type so far are still there when i go forward in my browser history. )
Now i play a lot of fps games on this computer and this is very very irritating to me. Is there any way to fix this without buying a new keyboard all together?

Keyboard To Usb
How would i figure this out. I had an old keyboard's that i wanted to extend the cord on it so i cut it and and older keyboards cord i had which since thrown away and it worked fine splicing the wires together despite the color differences but i was wanting to now take that keyboard and wire it into a usb cord. But i cant figure out what/which
The keyboard spliced cord i had this is how the color wires were setup (works)
Keyboard - extra cord
Gray->white
Brown->red
Red->yellow
Yellow->green
I have a picture of the end of the cord with the color coding to the pins location but not sure if im allowed to post images, wont let me anyway
On a usb cord you have
Red v+
White data -
Green data +
Black ground
I know you can buy adapters for this but i have nothing else to do . Anyone care to tackle?
