New Keyboard/Mouse

Posted in Computer at 10.41 by Gabe

So I’m trying to decide what to get.

I like the Natural Elite but its PS2. It has a USB adapter, but its really hit or miss to work properly.

I liked the Wireless Optical Desktop Pro I had at AT&T, but my manager had the same one and I think they fought and I could not work! Missed characters (literally, 50% of what I typed would just not register), mouse would stop working. Had to replace it.

So I got NaturalĀ® Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 but that had a flaw as well: the space bar would not go down without serious force if you pushed it from the side, which you did ALL the time because its a split keyboard.

This Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 looks exactly like the 4000 keyboard, so I bet it has the same flaw.

So, I might go back to the Wireless Optical Desktop Pro.

I really don’t like Logitech, but maybe I’ll try their Cordless DesktopĀ® Comfort Laser

Decisions, decisions.

I really should hit the store and try them, but no time. Never any time.

Vista: Dual Screens

Posted in Computer at 10.17 by Gabe

Why the HECK can’t Vista remember the position of my dual screens?
I setup the laptop display on the right, and the external monitor on the left (like the phyiscal locations). I go away (or just lock the computer) and when I unlock it, they are back to being reversed! I have to go into the display settings and change it EVERY TIME! ANNOYING!

Or is this a driver issue?

Logitech Desktop: LX310 Laser

God this thing sucks.

Feels SUPER cheap. The keyboard seems fairly heavy, but the keys are absolute crap. The silly mulitmedia keys don’t line up correctly, just a sad POS.

Yet another different Home/End/Del/Pageup/Page down layout. And the insert key is in the upper right with the printscreen/pause(break) keys.

It works fine (so far).
