Yet another new keyboard

Jeez, . I seem to be going through these by the bushel, . . this is the 3'rd one I've bought in as many months, . . got it from Tescos, . . do you like the letters ? . .

Re: Yet another new keyboard

Bought a new one a few moths back 'cos the old one had given up on the I's

Now I find this one has a faulty 'n' and 's' and the space bar is wonky too (Made in China of course)

Re: Yet another new keyboard

Most of them are made in China Harvey, . . the probs with the ones I had were sticky keys and the space bar going wonky too.

Re: Yet another new keyboard

I used to buy cheap ones and found they did not last. Treated myself to an illuminated one and it was quite expensive but looks lovely. Just hope it lasts a bit longer than the others.

Re: Yet another new keyboard

Same here!

In the end I bought an apple keyboard (for my PC back then) and loved it. It gets wiped down with a damp towel whenever I have a shower

My logitech PC keyboard used to too, but the keys started to wear off. I am more rigorous with my Mac one and touch wood it's still like new

Re: Yet another new keyboard

Has anyone used an 'anatomical' one?
So much more comfortable for your hands

Re: Yet another new keyboard

I also found key letters used to disappear but so far this is good., It is also white with black letters which I prefer as I have rather poor vision. The soft blue light under the keys is a real help.

How do you get photos to show? I tried but it hasn't worked

Re: Yet another new keyboard

Have a look at this BM: How to post photos on the forum

Re: Yet another new keyboard

While on the subject of keyboards, here's an article saying how wireless ones can be hacked using a recently developed device. I read some discussion on this and it seems the range can be up to 50 metres. There's a link in the discussion that leads to here. This page has a couple of videos demonstrating that even wired keyboards can be remotely spied on. The page might be a bit difficult to read but watch the videos.

Maybe the information on both the wireless and the fixed keyboard hack is more interesting than being a real threat that we would face. It shows what's possible though. The Wireless hack especially (longer range), could be carried out by someone next door or sitting outside a home I suppose. I never have trusted wireless technology.
