Keyboard by BMW

[gothicaleigh]

I just ordered myself a new keyboard. My current one is a Frankenstein's monster from many repairs and swapping lesser used keys for damaged/worn popular ones.

Mainly I wanted a board that wouldn't be an eyesore on my desk, yet wasn't cluttered with a million useless functions or looked like a ricer's wet dream.

What I settled upon, oddly enough, was a keyboard designed by BMW:

BenQ x700Pro







I just ordered it from NewEgg, full review when it gets here near the end of next week.

There, I got that one out of the way for you.

Looks nice, but I don't think I can go back to a wired keyboard after using a wireless one for 2+ years.

LOL Well you're lucky it doesnt have the giant iDrive controller grafted onto the side of the keyboard. Looks good though

They make a wireless one too.

Probably would have went that route, but it comes in a set. I like the mouse I have and really have no need for a wireless keyboard (I prefer my mouse to be wireless, but don't move my keyboard enough to have a preference).

Damn I don't know why but when I first read this I was thinking a musical keyboard

Those are admittedly beautiful (I was drooling over the DiNovo earlier today before I saw the price), but I would find it hard to justify spending almost $200 on a keyboard. Mine's $30.

IBM Model M all the way baby.
What the hell is the purpose of cordlessness on a device that never moves from its spot? One more battery to change/charge -just what I needed. Besides, I'm a gamer. Response time matters; as does key feel. Those crappy modern ones just don't have the feel that the old Model M does.

Wow!

BMW Actually designed something attractive for a change. And all this time I thought all was lost (I will say that I do like the new 3 series coupe tho..)

Where's the Bangle butt?

Put an out of place ice shelf on the top row of keys! Then, jack up the price.
