Tempting since the arrow keys aren't squished like most newer ergos and the home/insert/delete/page/end keys are 3x2 instead of 2x3. Mouse look way to right-handed for me, though.

 

I have the non-natural set of that. I think it's driving me insane. I guess I'm too picky when it comes to keyboards but this feels just a bit too squishy for me - I'm too used to my old clickity one which drove my wife crazy when I would play CS up to the wee hours.

The mouse was nice at first but then I noticed that it was making my palm numb, mostly because I couldn't figure out where to rest my pinky.

 

Revolution, the only way for you to go.

(Note how I resisted the urge to make a big hand innuendo? Aren't you proud of me? )

 

Are you sure that's wireless? I see a wire coming off in one picture. Would explain the price difference.

 

Well, it was pretty clear from the above that he's a Microsoft Fanboi for keyboards/meese, so I decided not to get his knickers in a knot by trying to take him anywhere else.

 

I find clown cars funny, too.

 

I've found recent Microsoft mice to be.... crap. The recent ones are often pretty damn small too. I love my Logitech G5, it fits my hand perfectly, it has enough height so my hand doesn't cramp (Razor mice are HELL on my hands), and the button placement is simply excellent. I'm a big fan.

 

I have the 4000 and it took some getting used to but I like it enough to have one at home and the office (for the docked laptop). A wireless version sounds cool, but not really necessary at this point...

 

Technically the parens comment disqualifies you.

 

My wife and I use 4000 keyboards as well. She originally got one and I fell in love with it, despite never having used natural shaped keyboards before. Didn't take long to get used to it and wouldn't use anything else anymore. The whole keyboard design is extremely comfortable.

 

Oh noes RMA the processor you got a B3 stepping!

Just joking... a friend recently was researching a very similar build and he asked about G0 and B3 steppings because people had been making a big splash about it on forums, etc. It cracks me up how even people who just do light overclocking get so into such minor details.

 

NIce Nate, glad you're happy with it.

Give it a few days at stock speeds before you really try overclocking. Let it burn-in and have the thermal pastes set and such....you'll get better results that way.

 

Bah!

Tho it's really the mouse that I'd just refuse to go back to wired for daily work.
