Having given up smoking for several years, I no longer melt keys with hot pipe ash. It now therefore, proves worthwhile to spend more than a Fiver on a keyboard.
Has anyone had any experience with either of the following; the "Linux" Keyboard: http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/cymotion-line/cymotion-line_master_linux.h...
I've recently gotten one of these free with a year subscription to Linux Format in the UK (where i learned of this LUG and have just joined - this is my first post) the offer is still on if you fancy getting one, you might as well go for the subscription and get one free! Works out not too much more than the keyboard on it's own. I haven't recieved the keyboard yet but i'll make sure to drop a quick reply back with a review once I do get it.
or more practically a washable one as shown on the Gadget show the other week: http://www.hela.co.uk/helashop/customer/product.php?productid=14
My only problem is that I learned to type 40 years ago on a Monotype keyboard, from the days when printing was still done with hot metal type, where the keys were balanced against compressed air, and a very light touch was needed not to get repeated letters. Every so often I have trouble logging in as my touch is too light for the keyboard I have.
A further point, how does one set up an 88 key keyboard? I can't see one in xorgconfig
Any comments would be appreciated.
