Webuser Forums: Keyboard buying on a Shoestring

Yesterday when I had very restricted access to the Net Because my Keyboard decided to Go Mad without Warning (Driver was intact & No Visible or Physical Damage

A case of "Fatal Gremlinitius"!

(Am using a New Microsoft Keyboard today)
Had to surf Mouse only! Which is very slow,and Could only Use My Router (No Type in Log-on)Then had to "surf" via a handful of IE7 "Favourites"

Would have made up and Posted an "Away message" But with the Keyboard in the state it was in, it would have read something Like this...

ww kektbirde = Gone away for a new Keyboard Honestly to me, that is legible. In real life It was acting up Something Mean (even had spurious desktop Menus popping up too!)

NOTE - It was only 4 months Old Ex-Argos Budget range

These I shall give the Rare 1 Star award!AVOID!
PS Argos Do sell M$ USB/PS2 Keyboards @9.99 But They are a Pound cheaper in Computer Stores. Not much agreed. But At least you can see what they look like and tactile-test the keys out before you buy
