Motherboard bios ?

Strange, cause Q it's the only key which is not working when other 2 are pressed. I've found Q key until now cause I use it in Counter-Strike.

I tried it, not bad at all. But if you really want the best keyboard money can buy (OK it's maybe not an ultra-cool look), but it is absolutely the best keyboard available the famous IBM with UltraNav just as great as the famous IBM ThinkPad keyboards, with the same notebook layout and look and feel.

IBM UltraNav Keyboard

I doubt i't as good (or indestructible) as the Cherry G80 models with mechanical keyswitches (as opposed to rubber dome/membrane which is what almost all of today's keyboards use).

Where can I buy the most bottom one. The silver one with curves. So nice and sleek. Gotta have it to match my CoolerMaster WaveMaster Case! What's the model and make? Thanks!

I also got WaveMaster and it matches it perfectly. Keyboard is from same company that makes Razer mouses Speed-Link Ultra Flat Metal keyboard. Not sure if it is yet sold outside of EU, if you are from US try UK web stores.

Ok after looking for ever for where to buy that curved aluminum keyboard made by the company that makes Razor micesses, I have been unable to find somewhere to buy it here in the US of A. Well as I was looking for another nice aluminum keyboard, I came upon this here keyboard made by Zippy Technologies and called the ZIPPY WK-722 BRUSHED ALUMINUM METALLIC 104 KEY KEYBOARD. Here is a picture of it.

I do believe that it is the same keyboard. Now if you will kindly go to Directron.com, you can buy it from them.

Here is an illuminated version too. Its called the el-722 although i hate how these are illuminated. i wish they were illuminated like the apple laptop keyboards where all u can see is light coming from the actual letters of the keys and not the whole button or inbetween the keys. that would be awesome if someone could direct me to a keyboard like that. anyway enough talk here is the pic

Yeah that is exactly the same keyboard as here. They are selling it in different name in US.

How is this keyboard for gaming?

Can you angle it so the keys face forward slightly like other keyboard? Or does it just lay flat like laptop keyboards?

Yeah you can angle it like others.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to click off the keys, and clicking them back on without breaking anything?

Mine is a little dirty so I want to clean it.

Yep it's possible. You have to be gently though, if it's not going don't force it. Take one key out, then look at the key next to it so you know how to put them back.

After you do it with a few keys it's no prob anymore. ;)

I just got this keyboard for Christmas, and I love it! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive (not "cheap," the quality isn't cheap by any means) laptop-style keyboard!

Even if you don't like it, it's only $19.99, so it's not a bigloss.

I screwed up :whistle:

Ordered a new one right away, im never gonna try to take the keys off anymore :p

wtf? theyre really really easy to put back on... just latch the top side of them first, and then just keep mashing them into the keyboard while trying to line it up with the brackets beneath it

this keyboard is kinda ticking me off, certain really used keys get crumbs and shiet stuck in their scissor springs! so i decided, why not pull off all the regular square keys (all abcs and 123s) and clean it! yeah that was the worst idea ever, now HALF MY KEYS STICK! plus the little white nipple things below each key break off INCREDIBLY easy when running a cloth over the keyboard

whats the WORST about this keyboard? logitech DOESNT OFFER DIRECT REPLACEMENTS, they will send you some crap ass regular labtec keyboards, with regular sized keys (no laptop style!), and they feel like they have 20 years of dust build up underneath them. Logitech feels that the labtec is "on par" with this keyboard, which is a load of bull. It sucks really, pretty much the only logitech product ive had a major problem with and of course its the one i cant replace

I took all keys off and put them back on. And they all still work fine, no problems with any keys. You have to be a little gentle.. :rolleyes:

they were having problems before i took them back on and off, the only reason i took them off in the first place was because they were incredibly mushy feeling and that sucks for FPS and stuff where you are constantly tapping a certain row of keys.

how long have you had yours? ive had mine for i think about 8 months or so now... im sure after enough use your keys will show the same symptoms
