The BENQ Mouse I use, I bought in 2006. The mouse is simple thing - there are just few switches - you can not make a big mess out of this. The keyboards are a different beast. What upset me most here is the location of specific keys. First it started with different notbook manufacturers and now I see it also on the keyboards. Why the h**l they misplace the keys?!
