I have a Razer Black Widow at work and a generic Dell at home. The Razer is the best keyboard I've owned size my beloved IBM from my PS2 __________________________ Writing the next chapter that I've been looking forward to. | |||

Yes, but mechanical has evolved a bit maybe compared to what you’re thinking. For example, my wife bought me a Logitech G510+ six or seven years ago that’s still going strong and never had a problem. When I’m typing quickly or really on a roll, it’s pretty clicky, but it feels much nicer I type on than the newer style switches, which feel mushy or rubbery in comparison. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

I've been using this Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard on my Linux box for five years. Only problem is they did an odd thing: The shifted characters are printed under the un-shifted characters, rather than over them, which is confusing. "America is at that awkward stage.

Das Keyboard. Not ergonomic. Plus it can be used as a bludgeon in a home invasion…. | |||

I just bought a Logitech Bluetooth wireless MX Mechanical keyboard. Best keyboard I have had in years. Comes in a couple of sizes and styles. Feels like it will last for years. I bought it off EBay, I was too cheap to but it retail. | |||

That is the only type of keyboard I use. Pricey but nice. | |||

https://www.amazon.com/Perixx-...Z0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1 This one is relatively cheap on Amazon. It is a wired split ergonomic keyboard. I personally use an old Microsoft natural keyboard but they are no longer made. Here is an Amazon link for a Microsoft wired Ergonomic keyboard. https://www.amazon.com/Microso...d%2Caps%2C113&sr=8-3 Best of luck with your search, Mike __________________________ "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants to see us happy." - Benjamin Franklin | |||

you mean the good old model 4000? That’s the best keyboard ever. | |||

I still have one and use it occasionally on a secondary machine. Currently using the Microsoft wired Ergonomic keyboard mentioned in the previous post. The 4000 is hard to beat. | |||

Need one of the old IBM keyboards you couldn't break them if you wanted to, wired, clicky clack, every key had good action, and they'd hide all the crumbs from your morning bagel and lunchtime chip droppings without getting stuck keys... I might get a K860 to replace the 350 I have now before it takes a dive. It comes with the MX Vertical or Master mouse, not sure which would be better. Daughter uses the vertical and likes it not sure I want that monster on the desk.. | |||

I'm typing on an old Apple keyboard, hardwired, date of manufacture is 2006. Came with an old iMac desktop, use it everyday. Never owned a wireless keyboard or mouse.

yeah, i have a couple from 1997 and 2000 but they’ve seen better days. For some reason the u key doesn’t work well on both and the USB cord is too short to fish it through the desk to the computer underneath. They do still work though as long as you smash the u key when you need it. | |||

I have been using a Logitex MX108 wired "Razor" mouse for 16 years, never skips a beat. Multiple buttons, etc. It is a gaming mouse, is very precise, and has never faltered. Rebuilt the computer twice, on a second wired keyboard, but the mouse is still original. -c1steve | |||

I have a semi-gamer keyboard, in that it has clicky keys, and not the squishy touch pad keys. But mine is meant for business and actual typing, not gamers. It is a lighted keyboard, but not with rainbow gamer lights. It does help me type faster as you get feed back when you actually actuate the key. Therefore, you have to press less hard and can type faster. It is wired, and is dead reliable. It is K845 from Logi. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Get a unicomp, they're the old IBM keyboards from the 80's and 90's made new. They own all of the original IP. https://www.pckeyboard.com | |||

This thread made me start cleaning my grungy keyboard. I got the first bottom row keys out but I broke the left and down arrows so I have to buy a new one from Amazon. I think keyboards are just a commodity item now. In my last company, keyboards and mouse were available via a vending machine as part of consumable supplies. Just stick the company ID card and press the buttons for whatever you want - cotton swabs, keyboards, etc. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Be careful what you wish for, Mark. I'm still using a Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite that won't die. The problem of being a cheap ass Dutchman prevents me from replacing it until it dies. This thing has to be going on 20 yrs old. ETA: The battery life for the wireless has been really good but I think I'm over all wireless keyboard and mouse products. Wired is the way for me from now on. | |||

Here is what you want, a direct copy of the IBM Model M keyboard. The finest computer keyboard ever made and one that is very close to the feel of the IBM Selectric. if you are not familiar with these products I suggest some reading on Wikipedia. Linky follows. https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/NEW_M I've stopped counting. | |||

I don’t have a long track record for durability (just received it about a month ago) but do like the feel/performance of the Logitech MX Mechanical. | |||
