Best keyboard ever
-
I have a Razer Blackwidow too, but I'm not all that impressed. Oh, it's very pretty, but I've only had it a year or two and some of the key mechanisms have already become flaky. I'm currently suffering through an update to Synapse that ate my simple configuration file and makes it harder to create a new one. One other thing, I can type so fast on the Razer that I make mistakes that I don't make on other keyboards. I'm not sure it's a net-positive.

C'mon, that's hardly the keyboard's fault. ;P

Did your case have the jumpers so you could set the "speed" you wanted - especially to annoy the gullible when you set your Turbo switch (remember those as well!) to show 128 instead of 66 ... :-D

I honestly don't recall the jumpers. This was my very first PC and I wanted whatever the Computer Shopper said was cool. The Pentium had already peaked when these new "overclockers" were starting to come out. I knew nothing but that I was future-proofing by investing in the "next big thing". But I do remember the prominent turbo push button and wondering why you would ever not want it on - it wasn't as if running it at a blistering 66 made the lights dim.

CM Storm QuickFire Rapid 10 keyless with brown keys to keep it fairly quiet. I've got 4 of them for some of the computers around the house. No RGB lighting for me!

Makes me wonder whom you afraid to wake up. Never considered my typing a noise; the first neighbor to complain may be surprised.

Absolutely! But you know, I am not a gamer, I'm a developer. I bought it for these reasons: 1) Durability. It lasts forever. 2) The Blue Cherry's are the best for my taste. 3) The red light is soft for working. (Multi color can be a little overwhelming) and 4) Because it has 6 x 3 macro programable keys which is fantastic to avoid repetitions for folding, unfolding, build... etc, functions that usually require CTRL + xx, CTRL + yy or something like that.

Heh, not the neighbors. It's the guys I game with over the internet. They didn't complain but they could hear the clickity-clack when I was key mashing.
Aight, good point; I'm on "push to talk", with the button to activate it on the mouse for that reason. That and the humming, singing and whining :D

A while ago I dropped half a mug of coffee over my cheap USB keyboard and of course it died. Been given a Corsair K68 RGB, a mechanical keyboard (+ non spill mug). Sturdy keys, good for bulk typing. So, few days ago, the unthinkable happened - I dropped a full mug of coffee on the new keyboard. ..and it still works, without flaws. There's an anti-spill rubber between the keys and the internals, and there's a metal covering under that which protects the electronics. I'm convinced that nothing is idiot proof and I will find a weak spot, but for now, I'm pretty impressed. It's easily taken apart and cleaned and might actually last longer than a year.

[Unicomp buckling spring keyboard](https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/FeaturedProducts/UB4044A) (IBM Model M clone, basically) on one computer, [Filco Majestouch II (with Cherry MX Browns)](https://keyboardco.com/keyboard/uk-filco-majestouch-2-tenkeyless-nkr-mechanical-keyboards.asp) on the other. I don't know how well either of them deals with liquids, but I'm pretty sure I could use the Unicomp for self defense, given the weight of it!
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Plain simple DELL based. One that makes me feel key was pressed. :D
