Real keyboards have curves... in their giant steel backplates. - eviltoast

Currently got this one on my work laptop. Model M terminal board with internal converter. The only layout changes I made versus a normal 102-key are that RCtrl is is a Windows key, and the four keys along the right side of the numpad are =, -, +, and the normal Enter.

      Half the fun of using a nice keyboard is that it’s loud AF. I love my keyboard peeps, but I do not get the obsession with trying to make them sound all lovely and quiet. “Slightly quieter” is a compromise to be grudgingly tolerated if you have to work around others, nothing more.

      VIVA LOS CLICKYS!

        This was my first keyboard with old school 5pin DIN and everything. I liked it a lot but ended up having to give it away. You see, it was my freshman year of college and had finally made some friends. My roommate however had not. I had suspected there was foul play taking place with my PC because of some things that had gotten moved, so one night I did the surprise pop-in… Quietly walked up to the dorm room for with my keys ready: popped then into the key hole and quickly opened the door… Yes, caught him in the act. It was towards the end of the semester and we did not speak of it again. I didn’t use my computer for the rest of the term and left my old keyboard leaning against a wall in the dorm hallway. A freebie of sorts.
