can't seem to find those damned sega accesories anywhere in my place. |

i got my sega Keyboard and mouse for quake3 shrotly after it was released  the mouse lasted well and so has the keyboard which has survived a couple of beer spillages!, but no PAL q3 now 
the keys are great for talking in games.. obviously lol, it sucks having to use the virtual keyboard if u need to say something quickly!. (Quake3 was the only thing i used the mouse for actually, i prefer using the pad for surfing the net) I like to use the virtual on-screen keyboard to write very short things though like signing in and my password for OC.. and i can write 'onlineconsoles.com' pretty damn quickly with the pad 
i am glad i didnt have to use the on-screen keyboard to write this stuff!, it wouldve taken quite a while |

I use a full size official US keyboard and a standard gamepad for mousing. The local EB has a mouse for about 6 bucks so I'll prolly go pick that up pretty soon. I'd really like to get a 'mini' JIS JP DC keyboard because I use DreamPassport a LOT and the mapping on a US ASCII keyboard is quite different. Things like @ and ' and & are not in the right places etc... I thought about getting an adapter and using a PC keyboard, but then the S1 S2 and S3 keys wouldnt be there and those open the trigger menus in DP. Overall though, these big honkin' official US keyboards are pretty durable. I've popped off the spacebar about a dozen times, and it just pops right back on. A bargain for what I payed for it. Got it used at gamestop more than a year ago for just 3 bucks. A steal imo. |

One crazy disadvantage to the import mini, its is clearish....so you see the keys physical structure, and the US chars, and the JP chars. So it really takes it's toll on your eyes trying to visually look for the keys. But it's small size makes up for this. Such a space saver. SoldierBlade wrote:

Actually to open the trigger menus with a KB connected via an adaptor you just hit the little window keys on the keyboard. They are down near the ALT keys...right next to the spacebar. |

yes i do have this site in a bookmark, but i often just type in to the URL bar using the onscreen keyboard... its kind of satisfying for some reason.. trying to do it as quickly as possible |

I have a few different "official" Sega keyboards, and I'm not sure which are really "official." One says "Dreamcast" above the numeric keypad while the others say "sega/net." | |||

hmmm, I guess seganet subscribers got the one with seganet on it as part of that join seganet and get a free KB offer.
mine says Dreamcast above the numeric keypad. Then again my kb's box was part of the 2nd wave , y'know " Dreamcast : the ultimate game system". |

i use the offcial full size keyboard. bought brand new at gamestop for $10 in summer 2001 there has 2 more even, i wish they still had, whch they probably would have but that gamestop shutdown. it was in a place called el con mall here and that mall is deeeeead. literary like 5 stores int here and one 1 or 2 are actually worthwhile. the outside of the mall is pretty good though, huge movie theater, home depot, Krispy Kream, and soon target. i used to like that mall alot though cause its close and has a game stop which basically no one in there hardly, and because of that a nice stock its no wonder it shut down.
i also got there a DC mouse, for dirt cheap. at first i barely used the keyboard, only a little for browsing and a little for Bomberman Online, whicha t the itme was my only online game. and when i got the mouse i was highly disappointed because early Dreamkey versions did nto support it, son enough it got and still gets fair use, with Unreal Tournament (until server shutdown) and Quake 3. However it seems it is broken now, wont scrool sideways
and man, i used my keyboard TONS. especially last summer when i payed daily, sometimes morning to end of afternoon
anyways, that good guy tony2004 needs a keyboard badly i wish i could help him out but i dont know anywhere thats sells a keyboard here anymore |
