Agree. Keep this site handy if you're ever in need of an exact replacement. http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/keyboards.html The Spacesaver M and 104/105 keyboards feel exactly the same.
Sure... if that's some people's preference, power to them.. but just not for me. You probably shouldn't be making assertions like that... to each their own, the best part about customizing your own trading rig is doing what works for you personally.
Amazing that they still make IBM 101 like keyboard brand new. With PS2 minidin interface! All right!!! Now if they can offer the RS-232 DB9 connector version...
i agree w/ having backup keyboard/mice/batteries at the ready (no not buried in the closet somewhere where it will take you an hour to find them when your equipment is down in the heat of battle). anyways funny true story i heard... this trader in a room full of traders got so upset that a trade was going against him that he threw his mouse against the wall after he closed it out (the mouse was smashed into pieces). unfortunately the our trader friend the position wasn't fully closed and he desperately tried to put the mr. mouse back together as the position kept going against him.
Hmmm, well because wired mice are annoying as hell. I'll take the chance a black swan event doesn't occur during the 4 seconds or less it will take me to plug in a wired mouse should the wireless one ever fail. When the battery gets low, a window pops up telling me to change the battery. So, its not like, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, bang!, dead in the water. But, to each their own.
Thats actually kind of neat and silly at the same time. Why couldn't you just put your toast on a plate and your drink off to the side? i dont get it. Unless its a joke and im not getting it.
+1. what happens when a trade goes against you w/ that stupid tray? i'll tell you what - the toast will be the first casualty when you throw your hands up in frustration.
