    Black Keyboard

    Hi all,

    I'm after a new simple black keyboard, but with all these manufactuers about I'm a bit clueless...

    Atm I am using a Chic Wireless mouse and keyboard, but I find that the keys are "too far up" and are a bit clunky, making typing a bit laborious.

    I do like the feel of a laptop keyboard, but they are insufficient for gaming (CS etc) so what is out there that will suit my bill?

    Price isnt really a factor here, so lets just say that cheaper is better

    Thanks,
    Nick

    Ebuyer have a couple of nice ones...

    I was going to get the simple black logitech one which was about £9, but when I ordered they didnt have any in stock, so I got the black and silver labtec for £11 ish.

    The labtec is is a soft touch keyboard, and the keys are kind of 'low profile' - i find it usable for general everyday use - bit of work and playing unreal etc.

    At out uni, we have the black logitechs which seem a bit more robust, and even tho its cheaper than the labtec one, it just as good if not better.

    Go get a MS Natural - the current OEM version is black and grey and looks rather nice - and your wrists will thank you for it.

    Only problem is the only place I can find them ATM is on ebuyer, and they come in packs of 3 for 35 quid exc. Still, if you can find two other people who want them...
    Now go away before I taunt you a second time.
