    :) Hey everyone, i want to purchase an external keyboard for playing games,one that is usb capable and under 20 dollars. I found one at Dell.com, the default dell keyboard that comes with most desktops only about 14 dollars. And i called Comp usa and they said they have one for 17 dollars but the company is Micro Innovation. I am not sure which one is the better deal. i heard dell keyboards are great for everything but i don't know anything about the Micro Innovation company. Can you guys help me with this decision. Thanks 4 ur time! :)

    It really depends on what is more comfortable for you. Especially during gaming, you want something that you don't have a tough time getting used to. I have personally never heard of Micro Innovation, and have no idea about the quality of their products. However, I am not a fan of Dell's keyboards, as I find them too stiff. But I would advise getting your hands on both of them if possible to see which one you like better. Good luck!

    Micro Innovation is OK. I would recommend looking for a logitech in that price range. Logitech has made a name for itself, so look for them.

    imo a keyboard is pretty much a keyboard. i'd check for reviews of micro innovation online and as long as they don't fall apart super fast, it's probably safe to buy.

    are you sure? if this is an instore purchase then I can understand but if you're ordering online, I'm sure you can find a logitech keyboard for $20-25 shipped (or less)
