    IIRC the one on Maplin does not have middle scroll button.

    However, the one at Scan has it (same design) and the scroll button is BL00 lit! (about 18 pounds) Shipping is too expensive though.

    the actual aluminium part of the keyboard looks great, cant say what it will be like when its winter and you want to use your pc only to find your stuck to your keyboard :eeek: also the keys look like the ones from the spectrum or is it just another plate that you stick on your original keyboard?

    That looks like the mouse I saw in Micro a little while back.

    It's roughly 3cmx1.5cm in size! :dremel:

    (woah, havent posted in awhile)

    keyboard looks like that LED keyboard they came out awhile, and it looks a bit small. it'd be cool to have, but i wouldnt spend money on it... id like to see a full sized alu. keyboard, keys and all.

    It looks like they used lap top buttons, which I am not a big fan of.


    Oh and dez, Boondock Saints is like the best movie ever, can't wait for the second one to come out.

    What is so wrong about a flat keyboard?


    =)


    Laptop keys, I can see the complaint, but I would give it a go at getting used to.

    Why the hell does coolermaster have to print there name in bloody big letters on every product the make now? Do they think you need to be reminded every second that it was made by them? Pfft makes there stuff look tasteless and crap.

    Its only a Zippy Keyboard anyway ;)


    Coolermaster KB = £50/60+

    Zippy = £20

    I'm not paying that difference for some crappy aluminum :eyebrow:

    It really sucks that they aren't doing anything cool looking like that with ergonomic keyboards! I use a MS Natural and my only option is beige unless I want to go cordless for $70 and get a black one.
