IIRC they're just making the current versions of the old Model M's after IBM quit. I've heard good reviews about them though, and if they're anything like the originals I really wouldn't mind having one.

I just bought the Das Keyboard from NCIX this week and so far I love it...

Metadot Das Keyboard Ultimate Model S Mechanical Keyboard - Metadot - DASK3ULTMS1 (8 55800 00117 3)

All of the reviews that I have read about it also say its one of the best on the market. It is very solid, clean looking and best of all the sound that the key's make is like music to my ears.

When I was looking for a gaming/typing keyboard I wanted something that didnt have all the bells and whistels of a typical gaming keyboard... I.E. back lighting, additional buttons, LCD screens etc. I wanted something simple that looked great on my desk but also performed at a high level.

So far I have found this to be the case with the Das Keyboard... Highly recommend it.

Gotta watch out that if you aren't getting the ultimate version which has the engraved lettering for the backlighting, the paint of letters of the normal version would come off after extensive use.

Guess I never really used a mechanical keyboard before...
but hard to imagine how it could be better since I have no problems typing with my current one.

I need to test one out some day.

I must be the most non-picky typer out there.

Last week, someone else at the office requested one of these, so they ended up ordering an extra one.



I decided to take the extra one to try it out.

It's nice, but I don't find that there's anything particularly special about it.

I don't find that I type any better on this than other keyboards, and I would have no problem going back to a regular keyboard.

Looking for one with Red switches.

Anyone know anything about this one/have: Cherry G80-3800 Red Switch MX-BOARD 2.0 104 Key Mechanical Keyboard Black

Or this one/have: Corsair Vengeance K60 Performance FPS Cherry MX Red Mechanical 20 Key Rollover Gaming Keyboard USB


@bobola how long did it take shipping from newegg.ca for this one: Newegg.ca - Rosewill Mechanical Keyboard RK-9000RE with Cherry MX Red Switch

Thanks


EDIT: removed steelseries 6gv2 red edition because of the retarded keyboard layout.
