Re: Keyboard
Sarah,
The Corsair K60 runs about $79.95. not sure what your K67 runs though I think it’s replaced by the K68 now.
I will say they seem to make good quality KB’s but truthfully I wish I could find one that is not “clicky”, but rather, one that has a bassier and perhaps quieter sound which will not annoy me while my hearing aids are in.

Re: Keyboard
Sarah,
Yes the KB works fine without the software, it’s only for the backlighting which can be changed to an array of colors for those who have sight to appreciate it. what I’m miffed at is their instructions are all video and as such I can’t follow it so well having low vision. Without magnification I can’t tell what the person doing the video is up to, but with mag on the picture is too big to make sense of it, kind of like some people can’t read jumbo braille because it’s too large for them to read with normal touch. So far have not found step-bys to grasp instructions the way I usually grasp them, simple steps to let me navigate through and then I grasp the principle.

Wow so they’re back. I’ll have to contact them about my key though as the hard drive I had it on got smashed by a baby. Lol. I forgot the little guy loves pulling cables and exactly that he did. Smack goes the drive. Bro though it really ticks me off these companies don’t build these things for life to happen. They should be like a Tunka.

Re: Decent multipurpose Webcams?
Brad Snyder
I use a Logitech HD USB webcam. I can’t remember the model number, but I’ve had it for a few years and it works very well with Zoom.

It is Plug-n-Play, and no drivers were needed. I got it from Amazon, and paid about $79. - Brad -

Good Day: If you have enough antennas or extenders to cover the area you might have a good enough of a wifi to work with. However, about a year ago I was in a bind. I didn't have enough internet signal from my router to the computer and was forced to connect by cable to the router to get the job done. So, it depends on how close you are to the router and how many walls, and what type of walls. This can depend if you are trying to go from the first story to the second story. Dave

Hi. Just for the sake of interest, is this a bug or is it just that Cortana is programmed to work this way? Seems like a roundabout way to me, just to end a process you might not need or might have just accidentally triggered. If it is programmed to work this way, then the people in charge should have a rethink because I cannot imagine the trouble it would cause if more apps must be terminated in such a nonsensical way.

search for corsair k60 or corsair and you should be fine. then read the description of the switches. I bought mine at best buy, but amazon has it and other stores.

Re: Keyboard
Sarah,
I forgot if you have sight but if you do, can you tell me if there are written instructions on how to use the ICue software so I can map out colors on the keyboard? I have the K60 SE Pro which is a nice enough KB though a bit louder than I was hoping, but it seems all their instructions are videos which I don’t follow very well.
Thanks,
