DON'T MIND ME!

I'LL MAKE JOKES ABOUT RAPE.
Personally, I think Microsoft was on to something with their ergonomic natural keyboards and is in fact what I use on a daily basis, but that's just me. The Model M seems to be bigged up a lot here, but honestly I don't see the attraction. What model of keyboard floats your boat?

idiot asshole bitch who should fuck off
One morning, when you wake from troubled dreams, you find yourself transformed in your bed into a set of twenty horrible computers. Each has a different keyboard. Which do you use? Do you settle on one, learning to cope with its idiosyncrasies, or switch from one to another, forever seeking the 'perfect keyboard' that you will never find?

Think carefully before you answer.....

I don;t program, but I have a Logitech K170 for gaming and general purpose. Anything more than that is a waste of money.

Err, oyu need to pay $200 for this special keyboard...it makes that retarded clicky sound that everyone hate...and uhh, the latency it 420 micro watts franglier than a regular key board. Oh and you can press as many buttons as you want at the same time, which is helpful if you have a baby or a farm animal do all your typing.

post yer dream kbd spex

- the keys/mechanisms from the Apple extended keyboard ii
- some utility keys (volume, play/pause, calculator)
- not a poo poo-ton of utility keys though. it's easier to hit them without looking if there are just a few
- reasonable key rollover
- wireless
- usb port for when the batteries are low, since I'm bad at remembering to charge my spare AAs
- no f-lock. but if it has f-lock, don't cannibalize a win-key for it (logitech :argh:)
- ctrl keys in the corners. decent sized ones too, no tiny rounded nubs
- two win/cmd/super keys
- lights inside toggle keys :3:
- also, make the caps lock key small or offset so it's harder to hit by accident
- inverted T arrow keys
- integrated nipple mouse? not sure on this one, might be pushing it into homer-car territory here
- dying alone

p.s. wikipedia says the apple extended keyboard cost $163. if that's for the original, converting from 1987 dollars comes to almost $340. you kids today with your $30 wireless kb/m combos
