New K/Board and Mouse

[fullspizz]

After recently re-decorating the Pc room, the wife decided I could have a new k/board and mouse.
I asked for the Logitech Di Novo bluetooth set and told her the price.
Anyway, she only went and bought it for me
What a piece of kit, fantastic.
I had the MX700 mouse before and it was great, but this feels even better.
Here is a link to it

It was due to the old ones looking grotty.

Talking of keyboards I need a new one for my new build.

Any one got any ideas for a good keyboard, beige, with quiet keys (Don't like tap-tap-tap all the time)
I don't wanna spend a lot £30 - 40 max.

Not looking for any hot keys or dodgy MS "natural" layout versions where it looks like someone has melted the keyboard and then bent it into a "V"

Cheers all !

ThanX

LMAO!!

Of all the things!!

But seriously, that's a nice piece of kit!!

You don't know the wife
My beige keyboard was more like grey so a new one was required.
It required a bit of reverse psychology, but it was worth it.
She didn't believe that I would be able to wash the old keyboard off, she thought it would bugger up the comp

Looks very nice - after a new cordless optical mouse myself. Do you think the bluetooth is better than than the wireless ? Might be tempted to go for the mx900 over the mx700 altho I haven't got any other bluetooth gear at the moment..

[ToMmEh]

whats the battery life like on the 900?

cuz atm my mouse is hovering over the buy button

/me must resist

argh!!!!

The Mx900 is as good as, if not better than, the Mx700.
The first couple of times you use it the battery doesn't last long (1 1/2 days) but after a couple of full charges it lasts as long as the MX700
The only slight gripe with it is when you start-up it takes a second before it is recognised, but tbh it's a minor fault.
Another thing that takes some getting used to, is that the keyboard will go into sleep mode if not used for a while (to conserve batteries) and when you go to use it there is a slight delay and then it works ok.
The media pad is rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishe hot and works from downstairs as a remote

Sleek - that looks like a well nice bit of kit.

I cleaned my beige boring keyboard today, it looked dirty enough but when I pried the keys off it was really disgusting under there.

Then I lost the Z key for about half an hour and went mental looking for it

[G4Z]

how foten do you really use Z, you could have managed without it and saved the stress

[G4Z]

also, how much was that bundle? cant seem to find a price on that flippin site.

[5cupa]

i;m not sure but i think i saw that setup at pcworld for £199!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shad]

Here is a link to it

I saw the price of that in PC World a few weeks ago and was absolutely horrified. Something like £130, for a keyboard and mouse!

Good grief..

Edit: Scupa is probably right on the price

[RedPutty]

how foten do you really use Z, you could have managed without it and saved the stress

lol yeah I did consider coping without it! But then I remembered ctrl&Z which I probably do a lot

[acidrainy]

Are the batteries in the keyboard rechargeable?
