I am debating whether or not to buy this smart keyboard. I first saw it on QVC (UK) and think it is value for money at £20.

Looks realy cool although I myself spend like 15$ at radio shack for a plain old Compaq keybourd (dont know how many pounds that is but looking at that keyboud I would guess something like 5 LOL) But I guess my point is this get what you want smile.gif if you like it and it makes you happy then no one elses opinion will matter.... hmm one note from a typists perspective and a carefull consumer.... How do you like your keys ? some people like alot of "click" like me and some people like almost no click. If you dont realy do alot of typeing then it doesnt matter one way or the other but if your pounding out that 3,000 word disertation on the molecular weight of molibnium then you might want something that will help your speed smile.gif

$15 is about £8, so looks like you where wrong with the value... though i expect that the centemental value is about £0.60 (~$1) and probs not even that.

Anyway, that looks like a nice keyboard. Unfortunatley my specialist subject is not keyboards- i don't think anyones is because come on.. how boring would that be? Anyway! (stops rambling). I really like the shape of the arrow keys and the spacebar. I think if you bought a simaliar Logitech then it would RRP at about £29.99 so i think the value of its good. The left controls look slightly chunky especially that scroll wheely thingy.. anyway, i would go for it if you like a nice modern keyboard easy buttons. Also- make sure that your monitor is black or silver otherwise i think it will look bad. heh, im sad.

heh. well i happen to find keyboard very interesting. Maybe that's because i type from 80 to 120 wpm and i like to have a keyboard that won't disintegrate under my hands. (i've broken quite a few in my days) i personally don't like keyboards with a lot of "click" to the keys. I also find large spacebars annoying. i like these, but they're so expensive. sigh. i wish i was rich.

I bought the Trust Easyscroll Silverlin Keyboard and I really like it. The keyboard feels a little cheap but apart from that it is fine. The scrollwhell on the left is a nice addition as are the Cut, copy and paste buttons. There is also a button to close applications. Loads more buttons - I will post a large pic of it in the Image database soon so you can see all of the buttons.
