I was going to suggest that too, but OP in Feb 3 14:31 UTC dismissed daskeyboard because loud isn't an option, so I guess that makes a Model M an even worse choice. Probably can't beat it for durability, though. Whichever keyboard you go for, I do recommend to make sure that either it's hermetically sealed (unlikely...) or that the keys are easily removable and replaceable for cleaning. Because no matter how clean you try to keep it, grime eventually does get in and start interfering with the mechanism. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”

I have two: a Kinesis Advantage 2 and a Corsair gaming mechanical keyboard, both USB connected. I use the latter almost exclusively and love it: the feel of the mechanical keys, the sound of those keys, and the keyboard lighting. I seldom use the Kinesis: just could not get used to it. -- Eric S Fraga via gnus (Emacs 30.0.50 2023-09-14) on Debian 12.2

I am saying that these are the biggest problems I have found with keyboards in general, and that the CHERRY MX BOARD 3.0 does not have these problems. If you are a touch typist, focus upon the quality of the keyswitch. Cherry makes/uses a good keyswitch. Buy Cherry. RLH

It comes down to your personal preference and on how much you're willing to pay for a good keybard. I'm using [1]. I'm using it because I'm finding these buckling spring keyboards the best variant to type on. I've never found anything better in the last 40 years. They also have the advantage that they have a decent size not only for the keys and their spacing, but also for the housing which is designed so you can put stuff like pencils on it. The ones from IBM are so old that they're usually somewhat worn out. They also have become difficult to get and expensive. Unless you can find a new old stock and are willing to pay for it, you're better off getting one from Unicomp. I even got a new Model M a couple years ago for a steal, and I still have it. I like the Unicomp better because of the extra keys without which I wouldn't know what to do, and it feels a little better to type on than the Model M. As an alternative, you could look for a Cherry G80. Apparently they don't make them anymore (And I wouldn't buy anything of what they show on their web site now.). It's a pity since they were acceptable keyboards if you like their switches and if you could get one for a decent price. They were built cheaply and somewhat wobbly, and I don't like that cheapness at all, but the money was in the switches. When you have one have on your desk for typing it's fine. The switches are good (though I don't particularly like them, but that's personal preference) and not in any way cheap or wobbly. I would like Outemu switches way better than the Cherry ones if the Outemu ones weren't so wobbly. They give me nicer feedback while the Cherry switches feel like nothing (perhaps that's intentional), and I'm finding their way of travel too small while the Outemu switches seem to travel a little further. If you can find a keyboard with Outemus, it might be worth a try. Stay away from these so-called 'gaming keyboards'. Everything that's labled 'gaming' is usually either incompatible, otherwise bad, or overpriced, or all of that at the same time. So if you find a 'gaming keyboard' at least make sure it's compatible before buying. [1]: https://www.pckeyboard.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=UB40B5A

Lee <ler762@gmail.com> writes: > I figure there's a high percentage of keyboard jockeys here so .. > which keyboard do you like and why? I've had a fnatic ministreak for a few years. Why? - RGB backlight, I set it to a pleasant green. - remappable keys, remappings stored in the keyboard so it works the same everywhere. Two layouts but I only need one. - mechanical keys but quiet ones (Cherry MX Red Silent). - tenkeyless, so without the numeric pad I don't need. - Some media keys, I really only use volume up and down. Only improvement I'd like is macros that you could copy-paste in and adjust their speed. This has macros but you have to type them in which isn't that helpful. My use case is getting passwords into stupid devices and apps, thankfully it's not that common but there's always that one thing on some gizmo that insists you have to type in the password. In fact, my TV has at least two. Before this I had a Happy Hacking keyboard lite for about 20 years. It was and is great, just a little short on keys and lacks the other features mentioned above too.

You might want to buy a spare as soon as you see one and wrap it up against dust and mechanical accidents. -dsr-

I used to love the old IBM Model M, and I used a few of those over the years until I started having trouble with USB-PS/2 adapters. Then I tried a new Unicomp USB keyboard. Very similar feel, as you'd expect, but it didn't have the same build quality and the lower row of keys started to die after ~5 years or so. It was also *very* loud, enough to be a problem even in my home office. About 2y aho I picked up a Filco Majestouch-2 with Cherry MX Brown switches. I'm loving it - full size and a good level of mechanical tactile feedback WITHOUT ALL THE NOISE ALL THE TIME. Very much recommended. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. steve@einval.com Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky, Tongue-tied & twisted, Just an earth-bound misfit, I...

We have another K520 and a K540, also with mice, though the mice are scattered around. The 540 says Logitech Europe, though it's a US layout like the rest. I also have an M 1391406 keyboard from 1988, with a GB layout, so it's got 102 keys. I use it on a 2011 Dell tower (which has PS/2 connectors), paired with a 20-year old Logitech Pilot 3-button. In a cupboard we've also got a couple of MS Internet Pros (US) and a Viglen (GB), all USB wired. I don't like their touch. Cheers, David.
