So I just got my new Logitech Wave Keyboard in the mail today! Kinda sucks because I’ll be at Pirate Fest all weekend, but it’s still nice knowing that I have a brand new keyboard to destroy!В  В  Ok so maybe not intentionally destroy it but with how much I type every day they always die faster than they should.В  Like my Logitech G15 that I’ve just retired.В  Although I will very much so miss the on the fly macro keys the comfort of this keyboard is outstanding!В  I’ve not been able to test it extensively but so far besides just the major comfort increase I’ve also noticed a 10 word per minute increase in my typing.В  I used to average 75 words per minute, and now I’m quite easily hitting 85 sustainable.В  Of course I can type faster than that but that also includes coming up with the things to say and everything associated with typing.

I have yet to test the keyboard out in game still… but will get that back to you soon.В  I’ll be playing at least a couple rounds of CoH here shortly with Credal to test it out with that… even though keyboard use is limited in that game I do use a lot of shortcuts so we’ll see how it is for me getting used to the quick plant finger association of this board.В  That is one thing that I’ve noticed does take me a little while to figure out.В  I love the shape of the keyboard when I’m just typing, but when I have to remove my hands from the board and find the keys blindly it’s a little bit slower than with a usual keyboard, which I’m sure will be faster with time.В  I also very much so dislike the smaller room between the alpha numerical keyset and the number pad.В  It gives less room for the arrow keys, and the delete, home, end, page up, and page down keys… it’ll take some getting used to since I actually used to use the delete, arrow keys, home, and end keys very often.
