    What do you think? I can buy the Logitech Wave Keyboard (wired, just the keyboard) for 17€ (plus shipping).

    Anyone tried it?

    Just go to the store and compare the feel of it to other keyboards. Best way to know if YOU will like it. Mice and keyboards are about comfort. Just because this progamer uses a keyboard if its not comfortable it will affect your performance

    Unfortunately that offer is from a online store. There isn't any "big computer store" in my city so I can't really test it.

    I bought the Wave back in January, and it is hands down the best keyboard I have ever had or used, period. It takes a bit to get used to it (a few hours for me), but I started typing faster on it, and it is just way way more comfortable. I would say get one.

    Thanks for the opiniions. And what do you think about the 15€ (It was 17 with taxes, but I live in a tax free city) price tag? (alwayss think $=€, eventhough it isn't ).

    It arrived today.

    Well, it's... strange. I have been using the Logitech G15 for... 2 years and the keys are not "the same".

    Also, the "distribution" is ergonomic, but I don't know mecanography (I type with 3 fingers from the left hand and only 1 from the right hand...) so I don't think it would really be ergonomic.

    I like the palm rest and the small size though

    Well, I have a "problem" now :p

    I have two great keyboards but I only need 1 :( I mean, G15 / Wave , I can't use them both!!

    G15 is great because I have been using it for a long time and I'm used to it... but I don't know, Wave is also nice (although it has way too many "multimedia" keys...)

    Some pics.

    General Overview.
    [​IMG]
    Wave + G5 , with QcK Mini (great, btw, thanks for suggesting it)
    [​IMG]
    The wave and the G5 are plugged to his older brother. They can't live together!!

    BTW, I use it with my desktop, I don't really think I would need to use it with my M1530 ... but it was so cheap :p
