300327 2004-12-07 01:32:00 I noticed and read a review in, this months PC world, of the Genius KB29e keyboard. It must have been very well written to influence me.
anyway I e-mailed Ascent and ordered one.
It's the best keyboard I have ever owned. One feature I like is it has a basic calculator built in. You can do a calculation and send it straight into whatever you are working on.
And another plus. It only cost $40.00. Not $50 as stated in the review.I'm thinking now of buying the wireless mouse that was also in the review. But I suppose it will be like my cordless joystick. The batteries go flat.

I see some have a charger in the base unit,why would they be otherwise?

Yeah, nuisance that - electrically powered equipment actually using electricity. :D

300330 2004-12-07 01:40:00 this may be ot to this thread but when there was a power cut the other day i realised how dependant we are on power

1 ) Our fish could have died without air provided to them by the pump
2 ) Our food will soon go rotten


And many more - but i like it ,and a power cut etc is a rare occurance and i frankly could not live without it

300331 2004-12-07 01:54:00 It helps a lot if you use rechargeable batteries, they last longer with each use and you pay a lot less in the long run.

300332 2004-12-07 01:58:00 I use a wireless mouse and keybaord set by Logitech.

I've had it for almost 3 years and I've bout 4 sets of mouse batteries, and 3 sets of keyboard batteries (2 AAA's and 2 AA's respectively).

They get extremely heavy use so it's a pretty small price to pay - well made equipment is light on the battery usage.

Definitely not worth bothering with rechargeable batteries for.

300333 2004-12-07 02:03:00 i would just buy one of those $20 30 pack batteries. Yet having two sets of rechargable batteries will in the long run be more value for money as you dont have to keep buying batteries - buy a mouse with one of those quick charger bases they are the best ( despite the price ) noone (22)
300334 2004-12-07 02:03:00 Or you could use un-rechargable as I do. When they go flat I toss the joystick behind my desk and forget about it for a month or so. Then I blame my wife because she didn't buy me new batteries. Women are supposed to know what you want.
