Saitek Eclipse Keyboard - Geebin
07 Oct 2005 @ 09:16 am - As I type this on my old Labtec wireless keyboard it makes me wonder what the point of wireless ever was. Yes it's cool that I can throw my keyboard across the room without getting up and unplugging it. But it's useless as hell to type with. That is...
