Careful looking/listening to things on YouTube. Last week a guy here at

That mouse looks like some crazy borg-transformers love-child Like the idea
of programmable buttons though, any good for big-handed oafs like me?

Jason,
The mouse is adjustable. The palm rest comes in two heights and can slide
in and out to suite. The thumb part with the buttons can be adjusted
forwards and backwards. The pinky rest can be removed. There are other
models where the thumb part can also tilt outward but I read somewhere
A heavier mouse would help with your Right BICEP.

I got it from mighty ape on sale but I'm pretty sure I saw it for similar
prices elsewhere. The link below is for a cyborg branded one which is the

Nice keyboard!
How loud is it?
I bought the daskeyboard ultimate silent and I am not so happy with it.
I got the silent one, but it is still too loud. I use it at home where no
one else sits in my home office, but doing remote pairing or calls is not a
nice experience...
Here how loud that
It's louder than the Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard 1.0a I was using
before. It sounds very similar to that video. It's a bit hard to tell if
its louder or not since it kind of depended on how loud I set the volume :)
But if it has the same switches its probably the same. It's much quieter

Heya David,

I've also got a few weirdish ones (microsoft arc, kenesis freestyle

I've done some more searching. I can't believe it never occurred to me to
include compact as a keyword when searching for these keyboards. Has
anyone used either of these keyboards?
Thanks Les, that looks pretty good. Going by reviews it might be exactly
what I'm looking for. Although I'd get the brown switches as I prefer not
to have any clicking sound. If the keys feel good to use I'll be happy.
And a place nearby sells them for $149. I think I'll go get one :)

On a similar note, does anyone know where you can still get Microsoft

be sold anymore. http://greengateway.home.pl/allegro//DSC_02411.JPG

they are solid, well built, and will last you a lifetime if you look after

That compact keyboard looks pretty good. Although it looks like a
replacement for a laptop rather than a separate keyboard. There are no
wasted keys and the keys it has seem at least mostly in the right places.
Something like that with nice keys would be good. I've yet to find one

I had a mechanical keyboard many years ago and from memory, it required a

recent years (which is likely) I'd be worried about it slowing me down,
requiring harder tapping or just generally being annoying in the office. I
