pixated Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 Had mine for around 3 months now. The keys are still the same like they were when I took it from the shop. I'm at my PC 10 hours a day constantly either typing or gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiggy Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I've had mine for about 15 months now and the keyboard still works like a charm. I have spilled some coke on this thing but it's easy to clean up. I can't see how it's possible to break the keys in half =/. IMO they're quite durable.. but don't ever hit them with a screwdriver...

Unreal Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 My ultra-x just arrived, its the old revision but I think it looks better than the new. The button in the top right corner of keyboard keeps flashing. WTF? What is that button anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Seems like a fabulous keyboard, I have one similar to it which I got randomly from a computer fair. http://www.ixbt.com/peripheral/btc/6300/c.jpg ^ That is nearly the same as mine, except my keyboard has a traditional key layout (big "Enter" key) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psybapunk Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I love my ultraX, I soak it in water once every 3 months or so, and let it dry for a day or two, comes out totally clean and working just like new. thats to all of you people with "sticky" keys.

Is it ok to soak it in water? Wont it damage it in anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphonic Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Not if you let it dry off completely before plugging it in again. Lots of people put their keyboards in the dishwasher then stick them in the airing cupboard to dry them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBear5587 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Woah, looks really nice. I might consider getting one of these soonish. Been using a Logitech internet navigator keyboard for what seems like forever, not that there's anything wrong with it, but it doesn't look the sex :( And from what I've read, many people have found themselves able to type faster with the Ultra-X due to the laptop keys, so that's always a plus! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try "washing" it sometime though, thanks for the top :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unreal Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Out of interest, how do you guys minipulate the top buttons to make them do other things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Anyone got a link to buy one in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galley Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Out of interest, how do you guys minipulate the top buttons to make them do other things? You don't; there are no drivers, it simply uses the registry settings for the default app, etc. For example, if Opera is active, pressing the E-mail button will open Opera's E-mail client, but if you click the taskbar firs, or another window, the default E-mail client will open.

Its just I found that Microsoft IntelliType Pro 5.3 when set to internet keyboard covers all the buttons on the ultra-x and you can minipulate their functions. Apsolutely awesome! :devil: Clicky :) Or scan here or overclockers! Got mine from scan while I was ordering an opty :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it works without drivers like the UltraX does. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
google123 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Ladies ang gentlemen, I have finally settled on a keyboard. Here is the link. http://www.centralcomputer.com/itemdetail....em=MOULOG74981R Logitech UltraX Cordless Desktop. Any views, comments, queries, questions, that you can think of before I take the plunge. I had almost settled on the DiNovo but the price kept me away.

timdafweak Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Can just agree there, have had the UltraX for running 19 months now. Still runs amazing! Dropped a bit of ice cream on it, and had to clean it up with a wet cloth, but wow it still works amazing. For 21? it was a steal and a half! Never been more satisfied! Have recently finished typing out my final Master's thesis with it... pure bliss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanManIt Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I've had my ultraX for about a year now. No problems at all, even through all of the abuse I put it through (spilling of drinks and food crumbs). Definitely my favorite keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flare Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Yeah that's what everyone's been saying so that's why I'll be buying it! Can you confirm that this it: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/in...duct_uid=100012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted July 1, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted July 1, 2007 I just got a Benq A800. As a replacement for the Logitech UltraX. It was ?15 cheaper, and it's a lot tougher. I'd recommend this over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flare Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Is it easier to type on and as comfortable. P.E.A. You made a point, now the example, then the analysis :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
