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

          Does that actually bend flat?

              What a weird design.

                @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.

                              @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).

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

                                    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.

                                      @art_of_shred cheers man - I would miss the scroll wheel A LOT. May have to give it another crack though. You'd have thought someone would design a "superior" trackball by now!

                                        Kensington used to make some great ones, but I haven't seen them in ages. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough. (cue a flood of links to webpages I've been too lazy to hunt down)

                                          Corsair K70 Mechanical Keyboard with MX Cherry Red switches, and a Saitek Cyborg R.A.T. 7. @art_of_shred I just did a bit of looking, and I'm not actually seeing too many trackballs that are decent. I mean, besides the ones with the mahogany ball and such 😛 Maybe you'd like a DVORAK Keyboard to go with that?

                                            how do you like the cherry red's and the RAT7? I was interested in the RAT7 for gaming but I have rather large hands, worried about pinky drag
