I need a mechanical keyboard for work, any suggestions?
-
I moved (back) to a mechanical keyboard about 2 years ago, and I am so happy with my IBM Model M. I can type more accurately, my fingers get less tired and I type faster, for longer periods. I've decided I can't stand no more using a crappy rubber domed HP OEM keyboard at work, and I want to get a better keyboard for work. I love my IBM Model M, but there's a few issues- its huge, it's expensive, its hard to find (try finding a new condition car from 1989 and you'll know what I mean) and it doesn't play nice with modern computers since the PS/2 spec was changed in 2004. Worse, since modern computer components are not made the way they' were back in 1989, this keyboard doesn't work with most inexpensive PS/2 adapters, in most cases even the $25 active ones gets killed in about 3 weeks. It needs a hefty PS/2 port that looks like it's bulletproof and supplies around 1.25 amps instead of the lousy 0.05 amps they do now. Besides the IBM Model M I have I've only tried an Adesso with Cherry Blue MX switches, which while a significant improvement over the HP OEM keyboard but it was too noisy for the office and the keys bottomed out pretty hard. I haven't seen any other mechanical keyboards in any local store so I don't know where to start looking for another keyboard... Any suggestions? My budget is $150 or less, it should be USB at least, or comes with an adapter if PS/2, much be mechanical that emits a click when keys are pressed, and as much like the IBM Model M as possible (but quieter). thanks!
