WTF can't these people market their keyboards and mice separately? I mean, in order to get what I want (a cordless mouse and a keyboard) the way I want it, I have to buy a keyboard/mouse and another mouse (all wireless) as they only sell their desktops with mice...but not in the way I like. So they sell me two mice when I only need one...THAT should be a practice in which there is some sorts of "Mircrosoftism" involved. Sneaky marketting practice in which their pull their customers by the short hairs just to make an extra sale.

Fucking bastards (guess who bought a new keyboard and mouse to sit beside his MX1000)

lol

You know, I buy cheap keyboards, cause I've found that really, it's just not worth the cost of an expensive keyboard. The quality really isn't any different.

So I have a cheap $10 PS/2 keyboard, that sits next to my (expensive at the time) Logitech MX310.

Ya know what though AW...I look for feel, features and layout. The ol' 104 keyboards just don't due it for me.

PLUS....once I went wireless I vowed never again to be tied down.

ya know, i was going to go with one of those Dev. I truly was. But $75 for a keyboard that is not wireless? I in the end could not give up that freedom.

Might I say I was lusting over them for the last several months. Then even today I was thinking "hold off for the Saitek" and then I just went for the wireless.

1. I can't seem to get away from the "Natural" keybrd format, i.e. "boomerang"

2. I use a fully articulating keyboard mechanism with integrated full length wrist-rest, so my KB really never goes anywhere - so no need for wireless

I have a wireless mouse & KB for my home-theatre PC, but I never use them.

Does anyone make a wireless mouse with 800 - 1200 DPI ?? I could seem some use for that cuz the wire can get in the way during gaming

lol, well it's 43.00 first off

and I'm going on someone elses personal recommendation. I'm being open minded this go round. After all I am now an AMD owner so WTF try new things

Just do a google on Saitek Gamers Keyboard and read any of the reviews. I haven't seen a single bad one.

Oh and my DELL is still using a Duo MX700 cordless system which works well and I do like it.

The mouse struggles with the recharger sometimes and that irritates me a bit when it happens.

I'll tell you what I think of the keyboard after it gets here. Be today sometime I think.

Oh yeah, I also got a Stark MS mouse.
