Its the colloquial term for the Asian Keyboard layout, literally they have a BIGASS return key.

Ripped from Google

MightyMission · Aug 16, 2011, 01:07 PM

that was funny though, google seeing bigass and asian is only going to bring up some "interesting" results

Red_Machine · Aug 16, 2011, 01:08 PM

I just sent them a message explaining the situation, and making it clear that I would not pay return shipping. It wasn't mentioned anywhere in the item description about it being a non-UK keyboard.

I should have just paid the extra £10 and gone for the one that actually said "UK layout"...

KieranD · Aug 16, 2011, 01:11 PM

I knew i could find it here look bellow.

i'd just buy another brand of keyboard, i've seen so many gigabyte keyboards break the build quality is terrible.

MightyMission · Aug 16, 2011, 01:14 PM

didnt even know gigabyte done keyboards

KieranD · Aug 16, 2011, 01:15 PM

I have a Zowie Celeritas, best £100 i spent in a long time and i bet this thing lasts longer than me.

Guy has arranged a courier to pick it up tomorrow at his expense. He said he gets them directly from Gigabyte UK and it never occurred to him to check that they were the right layout.

This keyboard looks very good. But is there something *almost* as good for less dosh?

I'm really pleased with my 'gaming' mouse for day to day use (CM Storm inferno) so a keyboard upgrade will be next.

FreedomEclipse · Aug 16, 2011, 08:17 PM

Hey guise. Asside from windows scandisk/fix disk etc etc what other utilities out there to see if there are any bad sectors on the disk???

a client i built a pc for is claiming to be recieving errors where it says the hard drive is failing.

If you want Cherry MX Brown switches you have to pay about or over £100 but tbh most good mechanicals are at least £100, sure you can get a Razer Blackwidow with Cherry MX Blues but the build quality and type of switches are different same for the Thermaltake Meka its a piece of garbage with MX Black switches.

The closest board is the Filco Majestouch with Browns, Blacks or Blues but for the same price you can have my board the Zowie Celeritas with the RTR keys, the media FN Key functions, the ability to turn the windows key to a ctrl key when gaming. The best boards like the Das Keyboard and Deck Legend only come in certain key switches in ISO British layout and are more expensive. Ducky is rather expensive too. The Steelseries boards are in Cherry MX Black which is non tactile, so you press and it goes straight down till it hits the bottom eg bottoming out, the Browns are more tactile as they have a bump when you press them to a certain point called the actuation point. I like browns as they are non clicky the blues click a lot but still have the bump of the blues for feedback.

Im sure there are a few programs that do check disks at boot though none come to mind right now. TBH if the disk does have any errors its best to RMA because the drive could be fine in a few years but you will never know that for sure as it could fuck up in even just a few months. You already know that though, im sure someone can google something or has personal experience with a program i just have a blank mind right now

defraggler has a diskcheck built in, almost any hard drive testing or benchmark program will

a program that will read smart values like crystaldiskinfo (good cause it doesn't need installation) or even si-software sandra will give you a good idea of the drives health

Rubber Dome and Wireless, i dont think you can get a quality mechanical board for less than £100 well not at least if you cant find a second hand IBM model M.
I forgot like i said you can get the steelseries boards for cheaper, MX Black switches.

scaminatrix · Aug 17, 2011, 04:33 PM

Quiet in here today - how is everyone?

Turkey nuggets, chips and beans tonight.

There seems to be a shortage of black saddle clips which is really hampering my cable management efforts. I've been waiting for CandCCentral to get them in for months - and whadya know? he gets them in next week. Yaaaay!!

Millennium · Aug 17, 2011, 06:40 PM

Dinner for me is jerk roast chicken with sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Just bunged it all in the oven (no im not a cook

Looking forward to it though!

Anyone know when the new round of GPUs is coming out (sorry if I asked already)
