i like my ibm model m but it's very loud so i'm thinking of a model F and a converter.

pros: capacitive switches feel better, not as loud
cons: no arrow keys + weird layout??

i`ve also got a northgate omnikey ultra which is Owns because it has a lot of keys. Also a bunch of apple extended keyboards II which is Fail because they don't work on modern computer.

But I wonder, the mid 90s rubber dome keyboards were waaaay ahead of the ones we have today. Why I'm rocking one as we speak. PS/2 all the way.

i'm not even making that up. it took me until like 2013 to buy an SDL cable for it tho

i also have a pair of HHKB Lite 2s, which look like the really expensive happy hacking keyboards but are secretly rubber dome (tho they are really nice rubber dome and are good bc they are quiet)

well you can't just buy that keyboard. those are a custom set of key caps pram ordered like a year ago and took all that time to be crafted by hand and delivered by child slave to his home in texas


because the demand for keycaps is so low internationally, you usually can't just buy them, you have to wait for a group buy. i am waiting myself for a decent set of DSA profile caps
