Mechanical switch keyboards are without doubt the best thing any geek could ever own. IBM created perfection when they created the model M but if you want something new I use a Das Keyboard, its so well made you could beat a man to death with it, then plug it back in and get back to work.
If any of you guys get a Das Keyboard buy the all black, as by now you shouldn’t need to look down http://www.daskeyboard.com/
Yes….on internet.
Dave?

I used to think I’d never use anything other than a mechanical keyboard. But then I accidentally bought a Cherry low profile, laptop style keyboard. At first touch I hated it… I needed more travel. But I very quickly adjusted, and now when I switch back to what I used to consider superior style keyboards I’m a bit lost. My new tactile finger friend seems to encourage a gentler, quieter, and more fluid form of manual message massage.
Sadly it still doesn’t stop me typing crap.
I sort of want to be wrong, and maybe a Das would bring me back to the Light Side, but I’ll never find out because I’m way too tight to spend that kind of cash on a keyboard… no matter how important input devices are. I’d only give it a coffee bath at some point and kill it.
PS Another entertaining show guys, thanks.
