Keyboards

[jennyjoan]

These wee skittery keyboards - the keys are too tight and doesn't allow for me to quick fast.

I absolutely loved the old ones - you know the cream with the big rattly keys.

I sorta googled them and they were coming way up too expensive.

I know for a fact from work that these keyboards were threw out.

Anyway I could search for the cream ones. Thanks for any help. JjCon

Tisn't cream, but at a fiver it'll do the job won't it?

Always lots of them kicking around charity shops conne !

[jennyjoan]

unfortunately am not a thrifty shop person murray - this sister is very much but wouldn't be clued up as to what I want.

[B00]

ok, you've answered MM- I take it my suggestion is rubbish then?

[anneasquith]

[B00]

You'll just need a USB cable :-)

[jennyjoan]

sorry boo your answer was good - but your keyboard just looks like mine the one I am using sorry if I offended you.

[Baldric]

Most Keyboards look similar JJ,
the advert does state "Full size, classic keyboard"
is that not what you want?

[jennyjoan]

no I want the old fashioned keyboard that was out about 10 years ago.

In fact I "stole" mine from the CS and they were no longer wanted but I used mine here at home until a computer bloke stole it behind my back.

[B00]

Do you mean something like this?

No idea where you'd even begin to ge one of these from now, doubt even charity shops would sell em.

Oh please no, I'm now having flashbacks to plumbers stealing dressing table sets........ :-(

Possibly?

[jno]

that's pretty much what I've go, B00 and I've only had it a couple of years - I'm sure they must still be available

[B00]

Eeek do you? Like something from the ark! Are you still on gas lanterns as well jno?

[lcg]

boo.....the first one you suggested is exactly the same as the cream one. the only difference is the colour! for £5 (and free click and collect), i don't see what the issue is......

[B00]

me neither lcg, but hey the customer's always right ;-)

[jno]

mine's all white letters on black keys so it's tremendously hip. Still collects biscuit crumbs though.

[EcclesCake]

Apart from colour I can see no difference between the two keyboards Boo has posted.

I work on numerous desktops, laptops, notebooks and tablets. I'm in no way a perfect typist but it really doesn't take long to adapt.

[jennyjoan]

I am a perfect typist and the tightness of the keys helps makes me so many typos - sorry.


Those keyboards (the older one looks about right).
