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.

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)

 advantage: arrow keys have a cool layout, OMNI key, lots of function keys, function keys on the left (cool) disadvantage: nonstandard number of Alps switches so no cool keycap sets, ever

another cool bit: using the dip switches under that little panel i can configure it for xt, at, amiga, and a variety of other computers e: quote:The OMNI key in the middle of the cursor-control

fun fact: IBM's beam spring keyboards from the 70s, in addition to apparently feeling The Best, have a solenoid in them that goes "clack" when you hit a key to make it louder

I'm a Node.JS guru living in SoMa, but in my off time I enjoy doing some PC Gaming and discussing ethics in Gaming journalism, online. For that won't accept anything less than the best mechanical keyboard.   It definitely had a hefty cost with its MSRP of $725, but every time I sit down in my Aeron (bought new, natch) to play the Star Citizen Dogfighting Module or write my daily anti-SJW activism tweets on my overclocked, 144hz, 4K monitor, and I lay my fingers on these premium Cherry MX Blues and feel their click (more satisfying than any other keyboard on the market), I am content.

My Model M, my Model F, and my Northgate Omnikey Ultra are all too large to fit on my dorm room fold down locker desk. I had to switch to my HHKB 2 lite. it's rubber dome.

i paid massdrop $21.49 for a kershaw zing to open boxes and poo poo at work so i didn't feel as bad when it inevitably vanished. unlike someone who pays like $80 for some tanto poo poo, what the hell.

The Northgate Omnikey Ultra is still the most powerful keyboard, and I would use it if it fit on my desk
