Earthshine Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I don’t think I’ll ever go back to a full desktop. I don’t play games in it. Next time I’ll get one of those fast all solid-state notebooks My resources are limited. You must ask the right questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthshine Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 So what do you think is the best one they have now because if mine breaks I need a good one My resources are limited. You must ask the right questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willichan Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Aside from a little PHP work, or a little AutoIt scripting, I don't do much programming any more. I do more network admin work now, so I just use a generic keyboard. I do occasionally still miss the old heavy touch keyboards though.

The software for the K70 did not do what it was supposed to do and the keys sucked and $^@#$!. So much for the gaming keyboard. If i could only have my Dell keyboard, with keys, as the look now AND backlighting, I'd be super happy. I'm returning the K70 on monday, if you know of a keyboard that would illuminate all the symbols ( like the "2" and the "@" on the VK_2 ), with thin fonts, do let me know, as that is what I wish I could find. https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1541 https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1365 Ducky Shine is your brand looks like I use one of these at work, and I think I enjoy it more than the Razor, much cheaper too, but super high quality.

willichan Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I actually just found both of my Focus keyboards in a neighboring box while pulling out all of the Christmas decor. I have got to find a DIN5 to USB connector!

I have the G510 Did'nt see it then, when I bought 3 other keyboards and return them all. I went back to my old keyboard. Now my son will gift me the same model illuminated keyboard he has ( that I do not really care for but I'll go pick up tomorrow ). I promise him to give it a try.
