Keyboards

I'm not really a keyboard snob, but needed something with a longer usb cord. The old one, which I really liked came with a previous computer and has served me well, but the cable was always just too short. So I decided to splurge a little over $30 and buy a new one. I decided to go with the Logitech K310. It's a washable keyboard! Woot! No more crumbs being stuck under the keys or worry about spilling my coffee on it! And it comes with a 5' 9" usb cord so now I can really kickback, put my feet up and game or surf the intrawebs with my keyboard on my lap.

I could live without the baby blue back but you never see that part anyway. So far I love this thing.

I like the idea of it being washable. You will have to let us know how it holds up.

Well I'm most likely never going to dunk it into a sink like you see in the photo but the way the keys are setup it's very easy to clean dust and crumbs from under them. It even comes with a little keyboard brush thingy!

How is the key action? Is it one of those 'soft/short' kind or is it clicky-clacky with lots of tactile feedback?

It's more in the clicky-clacky with tactile feedback, but it's not as loud as some mechanical keyboards. It's very much like a Mac keyboard with more a more solid key stroke feel.

Thanks, I may need to check it out. I'm not sure how much more coffee and beer my present keyboard can take...

Wow! A washable keyboard is certainly very helpful - it should also be waterproof against tea and beer! Never heard about this before.

Btw, if you want to use a keyboard or mouse with a short cable (I love my MS soft curve keyboard and I hate wireless keyboards because the batteries are always empty), you could also buy an USB extension cable - much cheaper than a new keyboard 8)

This is the best keyboard ever.

Could you elaborate on that?

I think he did more than just elaborate on it.

I ate popcorn last night. No need to worry about the crumbs. Just tilted the keyboard over my trash can and no more mess. It also has and outstanding typing feel.
