Hi fellas,
well here is the thing, i bought a genius keyboard around the beginning of the year. it is usb, which is a must have for me as my ps2 port gives me issues.
here it is(link below), has the the media keys which i like and i liked the design, and the keys looked to be notebook style short throw keys. Well the key press mechanism is shit. its got the little rubber conductor jobs, but they fuck out, no matter how much i modify them they just not working reliably , some of u may have seen the result of this frustration online.....:mad::(

Now i am looking for something reliable and decent priced, nothing over 250 if i can help it, with usb and atleast some media keys.

Shot guys.

Hey skally.

I was in the same boat about 2 months ago. I have always had logitech, but decided to try Microsoft.

I bought a Comfort Curve (around R160) and must say, the keys feel nicer than a logitech (well, the k/b i had, around the same price).

They are available at most shops, and it takes about 3 days to get used to, but once you do, they rock.

maybe come around and check it out :P

If you want to goto Sahara, I can order you one for R148 including.

They in Springfield, but I can order on phone, and you can put $$ into my account :)

If you interested, let me know, and I will check if they got stock :)
