I have retired my MS keyboard, after a short life.
-
It didn't last long - the keytops were wearing away really quickly, 'A', 'S'. 'CTRL', 'SHIFT', '->', and '<-' were gone completely, and many others were only readable if you knew what they started out as. And when Dij pushed my coffee into it ... it was time for a change. And last months discussion lead me to ... a DAS Keyboard 4 (MX Blue). And it's lovely. All clicky and feedbacky, the key legends look like they'll last and the think exudes quality - from the moment you pick it up and realise it's made of actual metal instead of cheap plastic. I find myself stroking the volume control, it just feels so good. My only criticism is the LED's: my word but they are bright! If you lean forward at the wrong angle you get a "blind spot" in your vision for a few minutes, and if you turn the lights out you get a blue circle on the ceiling bright enough to read the keyboard legends by ... :laugh: I'm back to cherry switches again: my first lasted me over 20 years, and it was a cheapy! This isn't, not even close - I've never spent this much on a keyboard before. Worth it though - so "Thank you" to everyone who recommended the company last month! :thumbsup:

I've just sent my DAS back ( too noisy ) very well made though

Get them to replace it with a Cherry Brown version instead of Cherry Blue - they lack the audible "click" that makes them noisy.

I really don't understand the need to put LED's in everything these days - what possible use was there for LED's in my headphones?* :wtf: * The use of past tense was deliberate here, they were "persuaded" to no longer emit ... :-D

That's to help guide the sniper from across the street.
You've been playing way too much GTA ... :laugh:

I've got to finish the final Last Dose mission - the truck got blown up on the way back to the city when I tried it pre-Covid - but I haven't got the enthusiasm. :-D

Should be an easy mission. Make sure you go get the reward car, otherwise once it disappears off the map, you won't get it again unless you re-do the mission.
I've played just the once, and I was concentrating on landing the transport plane at a silly airport like Sandy Shores - only to find that landing was a cut scene ... :sigh: The police weren't difficult, but the choppers blew the heck out of the lorry on the way to town. Generally I haven't been impressed by Drug Wars - there's just too much that's soooo familiar. Doubt I'll play them again once I'm done.

And here I thought driving back home was the easy part - the police part at the airfield isn't too hard, just tedious. It just goes on for way too long.

I think the consensus is that Drug Wars turned out to be a dud. And total cringe.

And if I never have to listen to Dax again, I'll be happy.

Add English Dave to it ... :-D You talked me into it: I tried again. Trivial, don't know how I found it hard the first time - under ten minutes from "go to the plane" to "here's a car". Which means ... I don't have to do them again! :thumbsup:
