G400, and it is great. But as I am on the surface I tend to use the Cerulian keyboard/mouse combo thing I have. I'm looking to replace the keyboard with a type surface 2 as the keyboard I have is also garbage (but with only 1 usb port on the surface I needed an all in one thing, luckily I just bought a usb hub).
At some point I am going to get a proper desktop PC again I think, looking to get some evil genius set up involving several monitors and an all-black scheme (and fulfilling my dreams of owning a das keyboard). I really cannot see myself dropping so much on such a keyboard. And I'm the kind of guy who would drop lots of cash on a keyboard too.
I have two of those Pfu keyboards. I've been using one of them for almost 15 years. The other is stored in a closet in case the first one ever breaks. Built like a tank.
The ones I have are the Happy Hacking Lite 2 which are much less expensive than the one in mfx's link. Still not cheap though.
More like $70 for the Lite 2. Still quite a bit for a keyboard, then again, I've been using it non-stop for 15 years. The other computer in the house generally needs a keyboard replacement every year or two, so it probably all evens out in the end.
I just buy a clean refurbished one every year at a thrift store for a buck or 2. Most haven't ever been been out of their wrapping.
And I swear, somehow cheap keyboards type better. It's basically selection brushes, but it's rendered differently and it seems a bit more useful like this.
I can't seem to make them work for moving around in the 3D view. I found where to change this in the preferences but it just doesn't seem to take. It shows up, down, left and right as the keys but they do nothing.
I don't like the defaults at all, even at maximum speed cranking the scroll wheel is tedious and my finger starts to hurt after a while. For some reason I find the middle mouse button awkward to use. Also, what are you trying to do with the Arrow keys? What OS are you on? Which version of TB?
Windows 7
Mouse is a plain old Logitech M100, $10 at Walmart. I just downloaded TrenchBroom today (and the VC runtime). It says it's version 1.1.1 Build 368. I had tried it last year on a different computer but it wouldn't work with the video card in that computer. This one is a GeForce 210 and display seems fine. I just want to drive around in the 3D view the same way as in Worldcraft and Netradiant, arrows move forward and back and strafe right/left. Aim with mouse. Just like Quake :) I was also having problems such as clicking on parts of the interface didn't do anything and the arrow keys wanted to act like the Tab key. I maybe messed something up so I deleted the TrenchBroom registry key and I'll start all over. Please try if the WASD keys work after you deleted the registry key. Also make sure that the 3D view has focus when you try to move around. Finally, TB doesn't have a property flythrough mode, i.e., you cannot use the mouse to aim while moving around with WASD, but you can right drag to emulate that.
I tried changing the wasd keys to the arrow keys, but couldn't get them to work correctly. What's weird is that they would work if the menu was popped up, otherwise nothing.
Also, why is it that none of the other actions that used the arrow keys were conflicting until I set the arrow keys as movement keys. That was kind of strange. uses Voxelfarm
http://voxelfarm.com Author seems to be playing with editing methods from time to time. I removed all the conflicts and had the arrow keys used only for camera movement and it wouldn't work.
So it can't actually be done even though it looks like it's set up correctly in Preferences?
