The humble little Dell base model OEM keyboard does manage to impress, I have to agree. Not a bad little keyboard, considering.

I used one of the OEM Dell keyboards at work for a few months, and I was pretty unhappy with it. I don't understand the need for a larger spacebar, since I've never once missed the largest key on the keyboard and the only one that gets two fingers assigned to it. The keys are very mushy, and I found that hitting the keys off angle (especially the larger ones) made them near impossible to depress. It's a fine OEM keyboard, but I wouldn't actually buy it or attempt to use it for larger typing loads.

I've been through a ton of keyboards (I'm somewhat fickle) and I settled on the latest USB Apple Keyboard a few months ago. I was incredibly surprised that I could enjoy typing on what's essentially a laptop style keyboard. Coming off of years of Model M and original logitech G15 usage, the lower travel wasn't something I thought that I'd like. The Apple keyboard has a perfect layout, great tactile feedback, a pleasant sound and aesthetically, it's beautiful (and small, even with the numpad). I highly recommend it to anyone.

After spending about a year with the CoolerMaster Rapid blues, I gotta get rid of them. The noise is something I thought I could get over, but I just can't. And even going back to like the keyboard on my laptop is working just fine for me. So two things:

1.) Who wants to buy a CoolerMaster QuickFire Rapid for $40 shipped, and
2.) Has anyone tried the SteelSeries Apex RAW keyboard? I just switched from a DeathAdder mouse to a SteelSeries Sensei and I kinda like it and like the SteelSeries aesthetic.

I'm interested. I'll PM you.
