I have been out of the hardware game for a bit of time now so I have become captain second guess myself (in matters that pertain to my computer Smutty...this is a serious thread stay on topic LOL!).

I am looking at upgrading my keyboard to a gamer keyboard. There are only about 50 to choose from. Any of you had any particular good ones you can recommend?

Ditto on the above and thinking of a gaming mouse? Thoughts, successes anything?

Wireless colour printers? I would prefer to stay away from inkjets but if I get a good recommendation then I would seriously consider it.

Lastly, my Saitek Cyborg is finally buy the farm one button at a time. Any recommendation on current sticks that would be good one?

Any opinions would be appreciated.

I use this;

I have a love/hate relationship with it; I love everything except the R1, R2 & L1, L2 buttons on the side 'cause I always inadvertently hit them. After almost a year and a half now, sometimes keys will "double bounce" and I will get 2 of the same characters while typing.

I am looking at this for a replacement:

Ive been using the previous version of that merc keyboard for several years now without a glitch
and its the only way i can play anygame that requires WASD controls

i would recommend one to anyone like me who has fine motor skills of a cart horse...

the J/stick ive had for the past few years in the Thrustmaster Fox 2 Pro, im very heavy handed and ive killed countless sticks over the years snapping the triggers on 2 evos within days of buying them and cyborgs top buttons just stop working on the 3 of those ive owned

this is the sturdiset stick ive ever had

I've actually been using the microsoft precision pro 1 since it came out and a logitech extreme 3d for a few years as well so I can't help.

Aquestion on those keyboards though are any of them spill proof, beer and keyboards don't mix too well

That steel series keyboard is the shiznit. I trooped down to my friendly neighbourhood geek hole and looked at them. In addition to that their mice are amazing. Which include mice and keyboards for you WoW junkies (specifically purpose built for that game). If you can afford them and the real estate on your desk I gaurantee that you are not going to be disappointed with them.

My only comment to the negative on it was its about 3-4 inches bigger than a stock 101 laid out board. Otherwise, I would love one of them and the price point was a touch on the high side in canuck bucks and I got Long Tom jr.'s college fund to consider.

I have however "settled" and bought a G15 Keyboard for the moment. Its by far not my fav or the best out there that I have been pointed to. It had resonable keystroke and a price point I could not refuse. So here is to hoping I can get a handle on it.

Don't get the T.16000, the advantages of it over the T.Flight are minimal, unless you're stuck on a stick that feels like that old Cyborg Evo. The T.Flight is closer to the Fox 2.
