    Keyboard Laser
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding suitable computer peripherals in France, specifically a laser mouse and a keyboard. The user is considering a laser mouse priced between 25-50 euros and is evaluating options, including one from Amazon. The mouse is intended for use on a less-than-ideal desk surface, prompting the need for a mouse pad, although laser mice typically do not require one. For the keyboard, the user seeks a QWERTY layout with backlighting, priced around 75 euros. There's a preference for a standard keyboard layout rather than an ergonomic design. Concerns are raised about the connection type, with a preference for PS/2 over USB due to perceived processing delays. The user is also exploring alternatives for both the mouse and keyboard to ensure comfort and quality, considering the potential for better options at similar price points. The user expresses a willingness to invest in a mouse pad for cleanliness, as makeshift solutions have proven unsatisfactory.

Hi

Knowing that i live in France (40 USD to import from USA which is expensive)
I am currently looking for :

1) A Laser mouse (around 25 - 50 euros)
is this one good :
Mouse : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000U75V02/?tag=pfamazon01-20
Mouse pad : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000LXXRB0/?tag=pfamazon01-20

2) a Keyboard (around 75 euros)
- Must be Qwerty (not easy to find here)
- Backlight if possible
I found one without backlight, but is it good ?

Computer science news on Phys.org
Logitech are usually good. I couldn't understand what is the second item... is it a pad for the mouse? if it is, you probably don't need one. Laser mouse's don't need a pad.
About the keyboard, I don't see what it's all about. Unless you use it a lot (and then you should buy ergonomic keyboard), any keyboard should satisfy you, at least as I see it...

Anyhow, I couldn't read any details, I don't know French...
Good luck.
 
1 ) That is the same mouse in amazon.com (in english)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000TKHBDK/?tag=pfamazon01-20
- i don't have a notebook, but it should work on a PC right ?
- yes the second item is a pad, its because on my computer desk, the wood is wearing away, there's holes everywhere, not a very flat surface, and i prefer keeping some precision.

2) that is the same keyboard in amazon.com
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002CPBUK/?tag=pfamazon01-20
- and i don't want a ergonic keyboard with keys that are not straight. I prefer staying with a keyboard where keys are all aligned XD

can you tell me if the keyboard and mouse that i think i will be buying soon are good, i mean that i won't have any bad surprises ?

It supposes to work on a PC too. Though, you should notice two things:
1) It connects through a USB. Not a big deal, but I rather PS/2. The USB connection requires more process time. As I said, not a big deal, but I prefer to buy a USB-PS/2 transformer.
2) I understand it a small mouse, which is why it's for notebooks. I don't think it'll be very comfort... But as you want.

About the pad, you don't have to spend so much. What I do in such cases is just taking a small piece of carton or Bristol board, cover it with an old/used paper, and here you have! a shiny new pad.

Keyboard - as I said before, keyboard is a keyboard is a keyboard (I hope this saying exist also in English), as long as you don't need a very comfort keyboard, I see no reason for hesitations.

I've never tried this specific products, so I'm sorry, but I can't ensure there will be no bad surprises...
 
Its ok, i have a USB-PS/2 converter.
but since u just told me the mouse was small, ill look for another one
this one looks good :
French : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NIJ438/?tag=pfamazon01-20
English : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ODN7VM/?tag=pfamazon01-20

For the mouse pad, i have already used Carton for 2 years, but every 2 weeks it gets dirty, and i have to change. For 8 euros, its worth it for me to buy a clean thing.

For the keybaord, i was just wondering, if for about the same price : 35 euros, i could have something better.
since i don't want to pay 40 euros transport taxes, i only have choice between those for QWerty keyboards :

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
