Preferred Interface Devices?

@scottalanmiller better still, IIRC they make a kind of crunchy clicky noise as you flatten them out (like squishing a bug)
-
For interfacing with my dinner, I'm torn between a spoon and fork... lol
At home I have a Cooler Master Sentinel Advance and a random wireless Logitech keyboard.
At work I have a Logitech M505 mouse and a random Microsoft keyboard.I don't really mind what it is as long as I find it comfortable. I'm more concerned with my mouse than I am with my keyboard. I guess that comes from a decade of FPS gaming.

Oh that would be fun... I imagine someone hammering it with their fist saying there was a bug on it,....
-
I don't use anything special. I normally just use whatever is available. I don't find that it matters all that much for me.
-
At home I have a Logitech G15 keyboard, the original one, probably one of the best keyboards in existence. I also use a Razer Naga mouse, I like it well enough but I wish it were heavier.
At work I use a Logitech K260 wireless keyboard, and a generic HP mouse. I could give or take either one, not a big fan of the keyboard but it was what we had at the time I started.... Been typing on it for 2 years now and haven't had to change the batteries.
-
I have a Corsair K40 keyboard and a Logitech T400 mouse.

No fellow trackball sufferers?

-
Corsair K50 and Logitech trackball (the real one with the big red ball, not the weird blue thumb-ball thingy).
-
@art_of_shred How do you like the trackball? I had a lot of difficulty switching to the "cheater" one
-
Absolutely love it. I have tendonitis in my elbow/forearm and a regular mouse puts my fingers to sleep in short time. I did a lot of CAD stuff in my school days and machining career, and trackballs are the preferred tool in those circles. I like the precision and the stability of it far over a common mouse. The only thing that threw me was adjusting to playing AoE2 with it, but that's a distant memory. Oh, and you don't get a scroll wheel.
-
@art_of_shred cheers man - I would miss the scroll wheel A LOT. May have to give it another crack though. You'd have thought someone would design a "superior" trackball by now!
-
Kensington used to make some great ones, but I haven't seen them in ages. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough. (cue a flood of links to webpages I've been too lazy to hunt down)
-
Corsair K70 Mechanical Keyboard with MX Cherry Red switches, and a Saitek Cyborg R.A.T. 7. @art_of_shred I just did a bit of looking, and I'm not actually seeing too many trackballs that are decent. I mean, besides the ones with the mahogany ball and such
Maybe you'd like a DVORAK Keyboard to go with that? -
@Mike-Ralston lol
how do you like the cherry red's and the RAT7? I was interested in the RAT7 for gaming but I have rather large hands, worried about pinky drag
-
@MattSpeller I'm a little disappointed in the Red's, I'll probably go Blue next time. And the R.A.T. 7 is fantastic! I've got large hands as well, and it's entirely adjustable. And if you're worried about pinky drag, you can change out the side-piece for one of the included ones, that has a shelf very akin to the one that's attached to the thumb side. Overall, a very comfortable mouse, despite looking angular, as you can adjust it to fit your hand very naturally. And the 8600 DPI sensor, Sniper Button, on the fly DPI changing, sideways scroll wheel, and fully customizable button layout, those just helped to seal the deal for me. The weight system gives you another level of customization, but the frame for the mouse itself is fairly heavy for what it is, so don't expect anything super lightweight.
-
@Mike-Ralston And off to purchase one! Thank you! :neckbeard:
-
@MattSpeller You won't regret it, haha!
-
I have a Tex Beetle and love it!
-
@lance Only issue I've found with it that I have gotten used to is the small right shift key.
