Title: Special G83-6105LRNDE-2

Hey guys.

Maybe you've seen that thing at ebay.de.

Here are some shots...

@Ripster: What di you think about a blue escape-key?^^ It's faked one, though.

EDIT: Uuups... loaded the wrong picture.

P.S.: This thing is a bit nasty to type on.

In what way? It's been ages since I typed on a G83.

Well. It is a rubber dome. I would prefer it to most other keyboards out there. They are light to press, too. The bounceback is just bad and I have to press that damn key full 4mm down to get a register, which is normal for a rubberdome, though.

G83s are what I generally recommend for people who need a really cheap keyboard. Seem to be one of the better rubber dome keyboards around.

Yes. They aren't really bad and not expensive either. They last some time too so they are totally worth the money spent on them.

Things could be worse, they could have used Comic Sans...

Yeah. The [y] is hilarious. xD

Whatever. It is a weird board you barely see somewhere. That was reason enough.^^
