Yeah, they are both head to head with that stuff, keyboards and mice.

Weird. Maybe its just a dud batch like someone else
said. The plastic used isnt hard enough or something.

Yeah, no argument there. Loved the original PC keyboard and the AT too.

And has now seen them flog that division off to Hitachi.

I havent kept up with their latest keyboards, you dont see
much said about them at all. I really should go for cordless
now, wasnt available when I got the corded keyboard and
optical mouse except at insane bleeding edge prices.

I wont normally by bleeding edge stuff like that anyway,
the next version is usually better, particularly with stuff
like that with stuff like the battery life etc.
