"Das Keyboard sports best-in-class German-engineered gold-plated mechanical key switches that provide tactile and audio feedback making typing a pure joy. Once you start typing, the tactile and audio clicks create positive reinforcing feedback. It makes typing fun and addictive. Newly added blue LEDs provide a slick look and the new USB hub allows you to charge and sync your iPod or iPhone. Fast typists and gamers will be glad to hear Das Keyboard has an n-key rollover function allowing up to 12 keys to be pressed simultaneously. Finally, the new Das Keyboard has an extra long USB cable that fits through your desk grommet and keeps your workspace neat and tidy. "

12/21/2008 10:37:46 PM

i would like to have one of the oled keyboards only if they came in a buckling spring variety

^ those have no tactile response so they arent that great

[Edited on December 21, 2008 at 10:43 PM. Reason : 

12/21/2008 10:43:14 PM

yeah, i have to have tactile response

that's why i hate most laptop keyboards

the macbook pro isn't bad, though. that's what i'm typing on right now, in fact

12/21/2008 10:45:53 PM

i've still got my old fullsize keyboard.

it's great, but my loud as shit MS Natural Pro is what I'm best on.

you've defended the iphone's lack of tactile response before? does not compute

12/21/2008 10:48:43 PM

phones are in a different class than desktop keyboards... don't be stupid, omar. i see what you're trying to do, but it's just not working.

12/21/2008 10:49:04 PM

yeah, i dont think that i would try to type my thesis on an iphone

12/21/2008 10:50:32 PM

12/21/2008 10:52:03 PM

girl at work has one of these. damn thing annoys the fuck out of me anytime I need to do something on her computer.

12/21/2008 10:52:12 PM

if you arent a pure touch-typist, those things really are the devil

^^I have a BRAND NEW IBM Model M like that, still in the original packaging. I've kept it in case I ever needed a keyboard with an AT connector. Funny thing, I never have.

12/21/2008 11:42:09 PM

I ordered an ATX to AT adapter on accident from eBay... it's buried.

The g11/g15, esp the old rev 1 G15 with the 18 G keys are great. They are the closest to a microswitch feel of any of the non micro keyboards.

12/22/2008 3:37:13 AM

I like the keyboards you can roll up.

12/22/2008 4:58:16 AM

I like the 1st series Dell QuietKey models, the ones that were made from around '97 to around '03. Unfortunately they are getting quite hard to find NIB, though I still check eBay occasionally.
