[Cialug] Keyboard Recommendations

[Tim Wilson]

A guy at work uses a Razer keyboard.  I'm guessing it's one of these:
http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/DisplayCategoryProductListPage/categoryID.49136200/parentCategoryID.35156900

A bit pricey, $80-$140.  It says Windows, so you probably would not get the
ability to program the keys.  But I would think the rest of the keyboard
would work under Linux.

Disclaimer: Since I neither own nor have tried this keyboard under Linux,
YMMV.
