10/28 Has anyone else noticed that if you type :) very quickly on a
Microsoft natural keyboard, sometimes the ) will get dropped. This has
been the case for my last 3 keyboards...
\_ You need to spend less time on AIM.
\_ Since I don't use a Microsoft Unnatural Keyboard and none of the
languages I write have :) as a common sequence, I would have to say
"no, I haven't noticed". Why do you keep buying these things if
they don't work? Get a real keyboard.
\_ Pretty much all keyboards have similar bugs. -tom
\_ My new micro$oft World Domination keyboard has a
specific set of function keys with every type of
smilie on them, so I don't have this kind of problem.
\_ I rarely use :) so I rarely notice. And all my companies offered
me either a shitty 101 keyboard or the MS. Luuuuv the MS.
\_ I've bought like 20 of these over four years, and there are definite
\_ d00d, yer so 1337.
\_ I've bought like 20 of these over three yrs, and there are definite
quality control issues (a key stops working, certain Ctl/Alt combos
don't work, generally below avg quality) the cheaper and more OEM
(less reputable vendors) you buy them. FYI, MS is selling the Nat'l
Keyboard of the PS2/USB variety for $40 at CompUSA, retaining it in
the Fall '02 line of keyboards/mice. I've also noticed the quality
steadily improving ~ every half year. Haven't tried the "Office" or
"Internet" ones. The "Wireless Desktop" ones, well, they require
batteries, and who wants a wireless mouse which have 100% of the
time tracked less well?
\_ are you some kind of idiot? logitech plain jane kbd, $14,
solid quality. if you keep buying shitty MS keyboards you
deserve what you get. |
