06/08/07		 Can we add key coolers as well mine runs hot. Sweaty fingers at the moment.

We'd have the best keyboard in town!

06/08/07		 What about wireless? Bluetooth or Wireless USB? We're on to something now.

06/08/07		 I want to hear the click. Actually, I'd rather it be more of a BANG, than a wimpy click. If only the good, ol' reliable Underwood had a usb interface.

06/08/07		 kenjennings it still has that satisfying click though it is quieter

06/08/07		 You can add sounds per key hit with the OS, even a sound to pronounce the key you hit if not the sound of an M-80 going off per stroke.

06/13/07		 I think that the keyboard which is pictured has some confusing keys (what are the keys which make the spacebar so small, and what do they do?). I think that Dell should keep its current standard keyboard and multimedia keyboard designs; Dell should just make the keys noise-free.

08/27/07		 A silent keyboard? Why not just learn to type properly without hammering every key to it's death bed?
jorge
08/27/07		 If you type fast it makes for a noisy office with the noisy keyboard, silent keyboards are nice to keep the clicks to a minimum in a floor full of open air cubicles.

09/06/07		 My job involves a significant amount of data entry. We don't even have cubicals in our open plan offices. Just desks all grouped together. So it's safe to say I type at a reasonable pace. I know the difference between "typing" and "hammering the keyboard to death". As an added bonus if you type properly you're less likely to end up with nerve damage on your finger tips and arthritis in your knuckles.

10/06/07		 jorge, if you are interested in Ubuntu keys, then please see my idea "Why can't we get multiboot Linux systems?"
jorge
10/06/07		 I don't like muti-boot systems, I think Virtual Machines is the way to go for having multiple OS's, its much better overall than multiboot. I know there's pro's and con's and just feel VMs are a better solution for me and voting that way, will push my preference, thats all.

10/28/07		 The trouble with VMs is if the host packs in everything packs in.

10/29/07		 Hi Ga Ga...you mean the Value Added Tax?...;)
badblood
