I'm so damn tired of seeing gamers getting the shrift when it comes to a good wave/ergo keyboard. I'm looking for some good suggestions. There are some great boards out there with some nifty functions that I wouldn't mind using, but if they're a regular, straight keyboard... I just have no use for it. It's not physically natural for you to have your hands torqued around the front of you and then your wrists jerked into a straight forward angle.
Back in the day, I had the most glorious wave keyboard ever. I believe the company that made it was "Mouse Technologies" or something like that. It doesn't matter, because they are no longer in business as far as I know. The board was a wave keyboard and was SOLID. It did well for about five years and the only reason I had to toss it was a mix between a spilled soda and a cat chewing the cord.
Now, even the non-gaming keyboards are so filled with crap. When was the last time you saw a good wave keyboard that did have 800 useless buttons? Do I really need an "instant messenger" or "email" or "homepage" button?! I'm already AT the damn computer. Come on!
Worse, try finding one without those AND that is wireless. Nearly impossible. And in my mind, if I have to have a whole bunch of stupid buttons, I'd rather have stupid GAMING buttons than seven buttons for controlling me effing audio.
I see there's a cool logitech one with some sort of LCD reader. And then there are all the boards that are specific to a game (which is cool if you play two or three games like me and play them a lot). And some of the more custom additions that are not specific to a game, but geared more towards, say, MMORPGs and RPGs.
So I'm just wondering if anyone has some experience or advice that they'd like to lay on me. I'm all ears.
