(ENDED) Tech Deal: Logitech G105 keyboard for $30

This offer ended…

I am falling in love with a keyboard! For $30, after a few hours of Black Friday blogging, I like it well enough I am going back tomorrow to Office Depot to get another one. The $30 price continues at Office Depot (online and in-store) until Saturday night… Already Amazon itself went from $30 to $35…

This is a wired keyboard, non-mechanical, for gaming, but I’m not using it for gaming. My biggest issue was the bottom two customizable keys were confusing my muscle memory hitting them instead of CTRL. So I programmed those two keys to be CTRL until I get used to it 🙂 Typing is smooth, you have 18 customizable options (six keys with three sets of memories each) on the left hand side. Other features: backlight on/off and the trio of LOCK lights (CAPS, NUM, SCROLL). But the little feet at the bottom look like they could break easily. You can turn off the Windows keys with a button. To customize the keys, you have to download Logitech’s gaming software and you can do complicated macros with delays and such, not just simple key shortcuts or text pasting.
