    Looks cool but maybe not for me :rolleyes:
    I use a Logitech 920-008233 MK850 Performance Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo that is powered by a couple of AA batteries and they last about three years with heavy use.
    http://cplonline.com.au/keyboards/p...rmance-wireless-keyboard-and-mouse-combo.html This keyboard and mouse combo is on a Belkin flip KVM and serves my two i7 computers :)

    If I am gaming and I think lag is an issue (very rarely) I have a wired MSI setup of an MSI Vigor GK70 Red Cherry MX RGB Red Mechnical Gaming Keyboard http://cplonline.com.au/keyboards/k...rry-mx-rgb-red-mechnical-gaming-keyboard.html
    which I plug in and I also have an MSI Clutch GM60 GAMING Mouse http://cplonline.com.au/gaming-products/mice-and-mouse-pads/msi-clutch-gm60-gaming-mouse.html
    The gaming setup isn't the absolute best but it is much better than a wireless combo;):cool: .......even with the gaming setup I still can't beat my son :(

    I couldn't use that because I did CAD work for years and my fingers have muscle memory for straight Keyboards and curvy ones like yours cause me to always mistype and then I have to keep going back to fix the errors.......if you are used to the curvy keyboards then they are supposed to be more ergonomic although I don't have the carpal tunnel problem because I have a soft foam support running along the bottom of the keyboard that supports your wrist if you start to get tired and your hand droops. My usual wireless keyboard has silent keys that have a soft cushion feel when fully depressed so is easy on the fingers ;)

    Hey Dave.....I just remembered......have you had trouble with interference from other devices with that keyboard? We got one almost identical when we got a new receptionist last year and she wanted a curvy keyboard and also a phone headset as that was what she was used to in her previous job. Headset no trouble but the keyboard not so good :(
    We had to swap the Microsoft keyboard 4 times before a tech visited and worked out it was getting interference from the construction site for the new 5 storey building across the street. Turns out it was the crane driver's walkie talkie..... whenever he was talking to the dogman on the ground the problem occurred lolol.......the tech tried every frequency but nothing worked consistently. We swapped the Microsoft for a Logitech and problem solved but it had us going for a quite while :cool:

    Not that I noticed Pete and working well today so far! It was power rechargables ran out, forgot to recharge spares, have now and all ok. Weirdly the spare mechanical keyboard I have as in pic is bluetooth but I find out my latest PC build mobo has no BT, need to buy a dongle...

    I do have 3 MS keyboards and 2 like the one that lost power as TBH I do like then as easy to type in and slim, mechanical ones I like but take some getting used too, look epic tho..
