data Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 what the fuck happened to keyboards during the late 90's / early 00's? such a design nightmare, i get naceous just by looking at these. are they supposed to look futuristic? are they actually ergonomic? who let this happen and why? do you type on one of these? (im looking to buy a new keyboard btw) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide data's signature Hide all signatures twitterbandcampyoutube Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/62246-late-90s-keyboards/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I'm rocking that dell one right now, hate it. At home I have one of the old apple bluetooth ones, it has a clear plastic base which allows me to display all the pubes, eyelashes, biscuit crumbs, dead skin and such that I've accidentally collected over the years and have no way of removing.

FLA FUR BIS FLE Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Sweet keyboards you posted. Check out these gadgets. I asked my girlfriend for the EPC Voyager 3650, but I told her not to look for it. Apparently it is still in beta.

Guest hahathhat Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Quote i was going to get one of these, but i went to their web site and it said "preorder" with a date a couple days in the future. wat? suspicious, i waited until that day and checked the site again. it said "preorder" still, with a different date, again a couple days in the future. put me off enough to not risk sending them money.
