Preferred Interface Devices?

MattSpeller

Until the below image represents a thing that works reliably, what do you use to interface with your 'puter?

I'm a fan of the Logitech M570 trackball for work (mouse for most gaming)

I also enjoy a mechanical keyboard but they're of... dubious value unless you're a hard core typist I think. Very nice to have though, and I would recommend the one I got (RAZER BLACKWIDOW ULTIMATE)

Logitech Wave/K350 for the keyboard - http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-keyboard-k350
Logitech Performance MX for the mouse - http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/performance-mouse-mx

That's at home.

At work, I have the Logitech K350 and the Logitech M705 - http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/marathon-mouse-m705

Works well for me. I'm a diehard fan of Logitech stuff.

I like stock HP keyboards and entry level Logitech mice.

At work I used a Logitech wireless k360 keyboard, but there is something that just makes wireless mice not work for me... so I still stick with the MS Intellimouse.

I like the Microsoft Arc Mouse for mobility

Otherwise I have gotten so used to stock keyboards and mice that they work fine for me.

Does that actually bend flat?

MattSpeller

@scottalanmiller Yes they do, thats how they turn off IIRC

What a weird design.

MattSpeller

@scottalanmiller better still, IIRC they make a kind of crunchy clicky noise as you flatten them out (like squishing a bug)

For interfacing with my dinner, I'm torn between a spoon and fork... lol

At home I have a Cooler Master Sentinel Advance and a random wireless Logitech keyboard.
At work I have a Logitech M505 mouse and a random Microsoft keyboard.

I don't really mind what it is as long as I find it comfortable. I'm more concerned with my mouse than I am with my keyboard. I guess that comes from a decade of FPS gaming.

Oh that would be fun... I imagine someone hammering it with their fist saying there was a bug on it,....

I don't use anything special. I normally just use whatever is available. I don't find that it matters all that much for me.

At home I have a Logitech G15 keyboard, the original one, probably one of the best keyboards in existence. I also use a Razer Naga mouse, I like it well enough but I wish it were heavier.

At work I use a Logitech K260 wireless keyboard, and a generic HP mouse. I could give or take either one, not a big fan of the keyboard but it was what we had at the time I started.... Been typing on it for 2 years now and haven't had to change the batteries.

I have a Corsair K40 keyboard and a Logitech T400 mouse.

No fellow trackball sufferers?

@art_of_shred is one.

Corsair K50 and Logitech trackball (the real one with the big red ball, not the weird blue thumb-ball thingy).

MattSpeller

@art_of_shred How do you like the trackball? I had a lot of difficulty switching to the "cheater" one

art_of_shred

Absolutely love it. I have tendonitis in my elbow/forearm and a regular mouse puts my fingers to sleep in short time. I did a lot of CAD stuff in my school days and machining career, and trackballs are the preferred tool in those circles. I like the precision and the stability of it far over a common mouse. The only thing that threw me was adjusting to playing AoE2 with it, but that's a distant memory. Oh, and you don't get a scroll wheel.
