They just don't make them like they used to...
« on: 22 August 2009, 16:54:31 »
What's happened to build quality???

A £130 (at the time) keyboard & mouse set, and it can't even take a slap when something goes wrong.





Replaced it with the MX3200 Laser.....time will tell if the build quality is more substantial on that one.

By virtue of the fact it says "Designed to work with Microsoft Windows" on the box, that alone should be enough to indicate what stresses they will endure  ;D

Always have had a volatile temper, although it's much better these days thanks to the nice doctors at the Maudsley  ;)
