[AusNOG] Keyboards...

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

I've been using the Logitech MX5500 for about 10 years now.  They're are
FANTASTIC, as they have a built in calculator, which is independant of the
computer (but result goes into the clipboard when turning the calculator
off, if you use windoze, which can be handy).  I use that HEAVILY while
auditing all sorts of reporting scripts.

Only issue is that the things have a built in timebomb of some sort. They
die at almost exactly the three year mark - My third has just died, so I'm
now just making do with an apple keyboard I had spare at home.

I've just replaced my home keyboard (the original Saitek gaming keyboard,
with the programmable macro pad (AWESOME for programming ;) ), with a
logitech G910.  It's pretty nice, but time will tell :)

We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
