Guys,

Just asking, can i use a keyboard on a laptop by hooking it up at the USB drive?

Is this possible?

regards

Yes, you can hook it up through the USB port.

yup, make sure it's a usb keyboard...

Thks guys.

Really appreciate it

guys,
i'm looking for reliable mini usb keyboard (Logitech etc preferred)
how much will it cost?

my 4 year-old unknown-brand mini usb keyboard recently spoilt (which cost only RM70)
it used to give me a lot of problems after 1 year using it

well, it just happened that today i went to hunt for keyboards also. so i can tell u abit.

There a loads of keyboard to choose from. Samsung to Logitech to Microsoft.
Logitech keyboard are mostly full keyboard but in a slim and durable body.
If u want a mini keyboard, u have to bear with the unknown brand.
I saw one mini keyboard which is quite nice and all, its only rm39.00. how cheap is that?

There are these ultradurable and indestructable mini rubber keyboard. It pretty cool, u can fold it step on it, wash it. anything. Its around rm39.00
BUt u better try typing on it first bcos its not that comfortable to type on.

The major companies only comes in full keyboard. i donno why..maybe i didnt see it.
For RM169, u can get a logitech wireless full keyboard which i also wanna buy, but in the end i didnt becoz its big and comes with a mouse which i dont need.

In the end of my hunt, i only found the one and only iluminated keyboard from some crappy company. Rm69 only. i will give this lousy brand a chance.

conclusion. For below rm100 u can get a good keyboard.
happy hunting
.

btw, i went to ALL IT MARKET in LY.

yo bro, what is the brand of the illumanating k/b? it sounds cool...

how does it feel and perform, is it worth RM39

hey dude,

the indestructable keyboard is rm39.
i tried it. it doesnt feel comfortable. since its rubbery, so u need to apply a little bit more force type it.

the illuminated keyboard is rm69.
this one..i must say its cool. in fact its the coolest. Theres only ONE In the market.
Its lights up in a very cool blue colour and the keyboard is white.
It may look very cheap to you though..u better check it out first.

i got no choice but to get it just bcos it lights up. If not the logitech backlight keyboard will cost rm200 plus and will all those gamers button which is useless to me.

yeah, i remember the Saitek gamers keyboard... that costs -+ RM220. it's cool and all but :swt:

i may go ahead to lowyat to check out the illumination k/b...

it's in all it right?
thanks in advance

it took me a while to understand that sentence.

its in ALL IT HYPEMARKET.

DUDE,

i thought it was a cheap piece of crap but in the end i manage to find its website.
At least it has some class...

RM39 bucks is it?

I recommend Microsoft's Comfort Curve keyboard series. The latest Logitech keyboards are a hugh disappointment imo so I made the switch to M$. Best of all, all the buttons already work with WindowsXP =D

But remember this, if you're hooking up a normal USB keyboard to a Dell lappie, there might be a BIOS conflict. Nothing harmful though, all you have to do is turn off some settings in the BIOS.

Just a suggestion. Im using this Samsung Pleomax Crystal usb keyboard which also acts as a USB Hub. Has 2 USB Ports, 1 at either side. Also has hotkeys for opening email, IE,My computer ...etc......


Got it for RM60 5 months back. Might be cheaper now....

wow..nice..cheaper and nicer than my logitech.
Where to get that?

Well the best bet is for you to go to Lowyat and look around. I got mine from Johor Bahru City Square. Its like those apple keyboards.

dude, this pic is for u..
it does work on my MAC.


yeah i saw that too at ALL IT HYPER at LY..its pretty cool and all but it doesnt GLOW..

I highly recommend the Happy Hacking keyboard from PFU. I got the Lite2 version from GeekStuff4U for USD$77 including shipping (from Japan).

This little gem is extremely small in size, while the keys are all full-sized. The entire keyboard occupies only as much space as the main keys on a regular keyboard. Here's a comparison of the Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite2 with my Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard that has like 534263543 buttons I never used. See how small it is!



It has the best tactile feedback and key pressures of all the keyboards I've ever used, makes me doesn't want to get my hands off the keyboard. Seriously. The keyboard also comes with two additional USB ports on the back for easy hook-ups. Works on PC and Mac.



If you're looking for a clean, no-frills, old-school design keyboard that doesn't have a stupid windows flag button, you're gonna love this baby.

aaron :: It is EXPENSIVE~

USD$77, roughly RM250 ....

Yeah I'm afraid quality does come at a price, but it's well worth it in my opinion.

aaron chin always recommend stuff from internet or from australia..

most of us are in Kl mate, i think we prefer getting it here than ordering from the net.

but ur info is definitely useful.

Rm250 for something like that.

i saw some mini keyboard with the price of less than rm50.

even if the quality is shit but u can buy 5 and after a years warranty and the keyboard F up. then just buy another one.

Dude, a lot of my friends in Malaysia buy stuff from the Internet as well.

About the 50 bucks keyboard, thanks, but no thanks. When it comes to keyboard, good tactile feedback is very important to me, I'd rather fork out some extra moolah for a good quality keyboard.

Guess you'd rather buy 10 Kancils than a Beamer aye?

omg..we are talking about keyboard only..dont think too far.
cheap keyboards where u can buy, and throw away if it doesnt suits u.

unless u can throw away a kancil.

anybody who wants to get the rm250 ordinary mini keyboard mr aaronchin posted, pls voice out??

Haha you're right sir, I should've bought an el cheapo keyboard, like the illuminated one you just got.

Damn, I should probably go and cancel my order before it's too late. I just placed an order for a mouse and a white Happy Hacking keyboard with kana for my Mac few hours ago. Later!

quick go. make sure u dont make this kinda stupid mistake again..

btw. remember this. quality does not always come with a price.
even Merc S-class has loads of problem.

maybe u can click here for references

People, Don't scare the monochrome away...

Anyway he did show some concern over the price. So just go in between both extremes and you should be able to get some good quality keyboards...
