I was just using whatever my employer was giving me to use and whatever came with my computer for home. I was 'borrowing' a few keyboards from work for home, and only after wrecking whatever I was using, did I go out and buy a keyboard, a shoddy wireless Logitech keyboard mouse combo, which was worse than what I had before...and then, here, I am, rocking the old stuff. I keep looking at the new stuff and what I see is: too much cost, weird-ill thought out designs, poor quality; and not just one or the other but a combination of poor qualities)...I don't know what if any modern keyboard will satisfy my love for quality and reasonable cost. I'm digging my new-old stock 2005 Unicomp Model M, but the rest of my stuff is pre-windows 95 mechanicals.
