new stuff

Im going to be buying a new keyboard and mouse sometime soon. I'm stuck on what kind to get though. At the moment I am leaning towards the Cordless Elite Duo from Logitech. It looks pretty good by what I've seen so far but i have never used them myself. My other idea was go get one of the ergonomic keyboards. I've seen them and thought they might be nice but once again never have used them. Does anyone have any ideas on a good combo and/or and advice on the ergonomic keyboards?

Is it worth getting the ergonomic keyboard or should I go ahead and just buy a regular wireless one thats not ergonomic. The only ones i've found around here from logitech that are ergonomic are all regular, not wireless.

do-not-go-wireless!!!

why the heck would you need/want a wireless anyway? any position you want to type at is not gonna be the best for the keyboard to communicate with the computer. the only position where it communicates best it when its transmitter is facing the receiver, right where the 'wired' keyboard is meant to be.

go with cord, i'm not sure about the ergonomic keyboards, since you can fly on the normal ones.

You must be using old gear there kimk, my reciever is buried behind 3 feet of garbage and I've never had a problem with reception.

Thanx for the advice, this has narrowed down what im getting. The only reason i like the wireless keyboard is im trying to get rid of my massive bundle of cords and cables connected to my comp. I guess one more is no big deal though. Thanks again,

Matt
