Old Timey Keyboards

How could it have taken me so long to discover the joys of mechanical keyboards? The last few work keyboards I've had the misfortune to suffer with have had a squelchy non-responsive feel. They don't work well with my primitive form of touch typing, and the lack of a clicky noise when hitting the keys makes typing sadly unrewarding. My error rate has increased as my joy has declined. So it was exciting to discover that old-fashioned clicky mechanical keyboards are making a comeback.

And for those lacking desk space, why not ditch the rarely used numeric keypad? It is a sacrifice to ditch the media keys, but it's still possible to reprogram a key combo to perform the same functions.

This is the sort of keyboard you can end up with... a Ducky One 2. I've ordered one and am counting down the days till I can hook it up to my pc.
