Keyboards

Currently, I have an ORTek Office Keyboard with an "awkward" Backslash Key (right of the Right Shift Key).

I found out that the Logitech Corded Elite Keyboard fits my needs, and it's actually easier to use and type than the Ortek Keyboard. Even though I might lose the ability to launch Office Applications with the hotkeys, the Backslash Key isn't at an awkward place.

I really made a big mistake buying the $20 Ortek Keyboard and now, I'm trying to buy the Logitech Keyboard. Should I go with the Logitech Elite Keyboard to replace the $20 Mistake I committed?

I think you'd be very pleased with the Logitech Elite! The keys are in "normal" places, so I don't think you'll have an ortek incident again

EDIT: if u r willing to spend the extra money then go for the Logitech. This keyboard is way good deal for the price...I can't explain how much nicer it is than my keyboard. This keyboard doesn't have a matching mouse or anything so u would have to find a good mouse too.

So you're actually telling me that I should go for the Eumax instead of the Logitech if I want an office keyboard that does not have the weird backslash layout?

No I am saying if u want to save money go with the Eumax keyboard. It is awesome and the keys are just as good as logitech. If u have the extra money then go with the logitech but if u want a GREAT keyboard that is just as good as logitech for cheaper then get the Eumax. It is a great keyboard...I can't stress that enough. It's all about the money though. It's up to u. I am not dissin Logitech because if I had the extra money I would go with the Logitech over the Eumax just cause of the name and it also looks very nice. I recommend both. GL

go for the logitech, thats what i have and it is very nice.

however, you should give microsoft keyboards a look too... but i dont really like ms... too much a monopoly.

Well I have a Microsoft Mouse and I used to use a Microsoft Internet Keyboard, unfortunately, the reason why I decided not to use a Microsoft Keyboard anymore is because of the rough press of the Right Shift Key.
