Remember That $6 Dollar Keyboard That MS Gave 40 Bucks Cashback on?

Well I just beat the everlovin s**** out of one against my executive style office chair's armrest.

This may sound extreme but the keyboard had just turned on a bunch of tools for the handicapped and wasn't allowing me to do anything except click mouses and press keys hopefully as I tried to figure out how in the name of Hades my computer now has the login screen with a huge handicapped magnified area on it and no way to do anything at all.

That actually would have been OK if it wasn't for the gorram continous, earsplitting beeping that happened when I pressed any button at all.

And at the precise moment I realised that the beeping noise happened when I didn't press any buttons at all (I never knew the handicapped liked beeping so much! NOT ANNOYING AT ALL THOUGH, REALLY) I snapped and destroyed the keyboard that was so bad MS paid me to use it (er … via cashback).

Thanks for the memories Microsoft and Ozbargain! No I know to never spend -$34 on a keyboard again ;) No such thing as a free lunch - even when you're getting paid.

    Maybe check out Udemy for a course on anger management.

      At least give him the link to the course so he doesn't have to type on his keyboard to try to find it!! Do you want another hole in his wall?

        Do you want another hole in his wall?

        As long as it isn't in my wall, yes…

          If the hole in his wall is in the restroom, best to leave it alone

        Keyboard is broken. He can use on-screen+mouse though

    sounds like the following keys were pressed: windows + u
    this opens the accessibility options.

    Accessibility options causing involuntary movement… You've cracked it!

    It's the gummint's fault.😄

  • Randxyz123 on 11/02/2016 - 12:04

    This made me laugh.

    But seriously are you ok? I mean you didn't think to google that?

    Let me guess, it's another ploy by the "gummint" to force you to buy another keyboard you paid peanuts for.

    Perhaps you could have donated it to a special needs school instead of rage quitting it :)
