Pro Tools Keyboard - How many people use it?

[DeyBwah]

I've long been curious about the Pro Tools keyboard... what are your thoughts for those of you who use it, have used it, or plan on using it?

It's one of those things that have been on my to-buy list for quite some time, but it seems I always end up picking up a boom stand or cable instead. :P

Same here..... I'd like to have it, but I don't need it. Some say it's over-priced, and well it is....UNTIL you start putting those decals on a keyboard yourself or start typing on one with the decals, then that keyboard is a great value!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't going to mention my opinion on the price, but since you broke the ice.. yes, it does seem a bit overpriced. But I'm willing to lay down cash if it is really useful and that ground breaking!

It use to be $300 back in the day. No, that's not a typo.

I haven't looked for years. I didn't even realize they had a PC version of this. And yea, $300.

I have seen the Windows version for $125, so the price isn't quite as bad as it used to be. I bought the stickers from the DIGI store 4 years ago and put them on a brand new black keyboard(for all of $12) and they are still on and still very good. Not as good as the $125 keyboard, but totally fine. Once a year I take an ultra fine Sharpie and spruce up a few letters.

Maybe I'll do that to the wireless USB keyboard. I need something new to look at.

Got a link to those stickers?

And yes, that's a fantastic idea, especially in co-op with Tom's idea with a wireless keyboard..
