IBM Quality @ IBM Price
Advantages: Good extra features. Can play CD's from keyboard Disadvantages: Price?
...it. I’m talking about my IBM Rapid Access Keyboard.
I have been using this for about 18 months now, and if I remember correctly it cost me about £30 from PCW, the shop whose name I can’t bring myself to say in full!
Since keyboards can be had for a fiver upwards, what’s so special about it? Well, nothing from the “Immense Bowel Movement”* is ever going to be cheap, but it does carry some extra features, which set it ... ...load software of your choice. IBM have printed an insert for you, on the assumption that word-processor, spreadsheet and internet access are going to be the big three, within one other blank, which I have taken to be my Quicken banking software. Notwithstanding IBM’s printed label, there is nothing to stop you programming all four yourself.
The software to configure your board comes on CD-ROM and is easy to install. It adds another icon within ...

Sounds Good, Performs Bad!
Advantages: Plenty of Keys, easy access to applications, wireless! Disadvantages: Poor performance, can be awkward to setup
When I received this IBM Keyboard & Mouse, I thought that it would be a great little device, very practical as like everything else these days in going "wireless". However in reality things wireless do have disadvantages
Out of the box you get 6 Batteries, 4 for the Keyboard and 2 for the Mouse AAA Standard. As for the keyboard it comes with good media options like Volume buttons, Track Forward/Back etc. It also comes with 6 extra buttons, which ... ...them for. 2 of the buttons come pre configured for Email & Internet. Underneath the Keyboard is a button used to reset communications with receiver unit.
The Mouse comes with a Scroll Point and a Left & Right Button. Again underneath the Keyboard is a button used to reset communications with receiver unit.
Both devices send & receive their signal from a receiver unit, which is connected via USB to the system. Underneath the Receiver unit are 2 ...

Sleek and silver
Advantages: Cheap and efficient Disadvantages: none as of yet
...better than my current keyboard. Labtec have quite a good name in this sphere although they have been prone to some bad press. I don’t think this is totally justified since most of their products are considerably cheaper than competitors, and in general terms you get what you pay for. I can’t see the point in paying twenty odd quid for a similar system, when this works just fine.
The Mouse
Both units are wireless and are connected to the ... ...a charger for the mouse. Placing the mouse in the charger/wireless adaptor ensures that it is always ready for use. It is a standard type mouse insomuch as that it has two buttons and a scroll wheel. I quite like the silver colour and the black contrast of the area around the wheel. I have found the mouse works very well and although it doesn't really need charging very often putting it into the charger when not in use certainly keeps it up to scratch.

Logitech Ultra X Premium
Advantages: It's easy to set up, easy to use, comfortable Disadvantages: It's not wireless
...motherboard was one getting the Logitech DiNovo in (but let's be honest, £100 for a keyboard is a bit much) Anyway, turning to the online places there were the big names like Steelseries and Razer, which are pointless because I don't game very often (if at all). because I work on the computer mainly typing and photoshopping I just wanted something comfortable and low travel. Then I came across this in a clearance area. At £20 it wasn't what I'd call ... ...keyboards so I went and bought it. plugged it in andit worked straight away, no need for drivers, the setup being incredibly simple. Using it is a pleasure more than anything else, it's like a laptop keyboard in the way that the keys are low travel, but it's full size like a normal computer keyboard, a perfect compromise The layout is fairly standard, with QWERTY layout and some hotkeys at the top (which to be honest I never use, but I'm sure they're ...

looks good but doesn't work well
Advantages: looks nice, small form factor, Disadvantages: track pad is too small and doesn't work consistently
...huge and it was a Toshiba which I have good previous experience of. Got it home and opened the box - initial impressions were very good it looks smart and tidy. put in the USB transmitter - it took a little while and several reinsertions but eventually seemed to register. started using it and the keyboard worked well. The track pad wouldn't work consistently at all. Some times it wouldn't register my finger at all other times it would go in a direction ...
