Keyboards!

I kinda thought of this because I've got the keys from my good keyboard in the dishwasher. Sooo... what kind of keyboard do you use? :P

Right now, I'm using my dad's Macally iKey. Suggestion: *never* buy one. It's got insane amounts of resistance, and a really spongy feel to it. Now, my normal keyboard... It's an old PS/2 SGI keyboard that I picked up at the MIT Swapfest a while ago for something like 5 bucks. Very light resistance, nice "clicky" feel (even though it's a membrane!), no Windows key, small footprint, nice coloring... Ahhhh... They're about 20 bucks including shiping on eBay, and I highly suggest you get one if you're looking for a new keyboard. I ought to pick up a spare one sometime...

For a Long Long time I used a DIGITAL keyboard, big, nice feeling with a lot of space for the keys.
It started to catch up radio-transmissions (as did my speakers and one monitor) and spew out crap while that happened, so I had to disconnect it and get another.

Currently I'm using a laptop-like keyboard from Logitech, their UltraX keyboard. Nice feeling (if you like laptop style) but little pressure. And it seems to wear out too easily.

Got a worn out logitech natural keyboard on the other machine, not very good.

I'm using an unbranded Natural Keyboard...

...unbranded, ever since I filed off the M$ logo... ugh

Argh, I lost the 2 key for the main number row... >.<

Anywho, has anybody used an IBM Model M? I'm considering getting one of them, since it's always good to have a second keyboard...
