So that is where the name for the boomslang (which is actually a snake too) came from, way back in the day Razer had a gaming mouse (they started by making gaming mice) called the Razer Boomslang, I never owned one, it was way too expensive for me at the time, but every PC gamer kid wanted it lol : 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You know that the boomslang is actually one of the most venomous snakes in the world? And it does like to chill on trees so I guess it is well named!

J. van Deijck Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Yet another useful but not necessary thing for me, a wireless keyboard for my tablet. Spoiler But this one has a QWERTY layout, so it's gonna be a bit confusing to me 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KatDeLacey Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 It's cute! Do keyboards in your country not usually have the QWERTY layout? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calliers Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 Here in Canada keyboards have the QWERTY layout, not sure if there is a layout for French though.... Interesting fact is the QWERTY layout is actually meant to slow a person's typing down as much as possible since the much much more efficient DVORAK layout was so successful that people were going too fast and kept jamming type writers. Nice buy @alsjeblieft. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J. van Deijck Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Ha thanks @Calliers and @KatDeLacey Belgium uses AZERTY and that's what I'm used to.

I type at ~100 WPM or about as fast as I think, which is why sometimes I can type garbage lol, because if I'm thinking of something I could change my mind mid sentence and it ends up being typed out lol.

uniQChick Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 @Calliers Why have you quoted 2 people, but talking to @alsjeblieft? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calliers Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 Just now, uniQChick said: @Calliers Why have you quoted 2 people, but talking to @alsjeblieft? Because you guys were talking about keyboards as well, one of you wanted to renovate your keyboard, one of you talked of your first few keyboards with the first few new computers you used and @alsjeblieft just got a new keyboard, so thought you guys would be interested in knowing I'd like to get a new keyboard too. I want to get a RGB one this time, the current one I have is only red LEDs, it does have the ability to do all sorts of effects but the fact that it was just red LEDs took some getting used to. I might order a new one in the coming weeks, still pondering it.... I mean this one works just fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
