It seems the DK Pro is highly recommended. From the info I have found on this site on the DK II, it used to be an overpriced, not so great keyboard. Have these issues been alleviated with the DK Pro? Will the lettering on the keys wear off?
How much does it weigh? One thing I am concerned about is that it looks like it might "feel" cheap, (ex: squeaking plastic when you pick it up, flexing, etc...). Is that not the case?

The Das Keyboard claims that the DK Pro has 12-key rollover. Has this been proven false?
What about the Happy Hacking Keyboard Pro 2? It seems to be an
extremely good keyboard. How does it stack up to my requirements?
The Filco ones also seem good, but I have seen some sub par reviews around here, also don't like that the keys get white stuff on them after a while.
How are the CVT keyboards? They would seem to be the most like the Model M.
Finally, am I to understand that the PS/2 keyboard interface supports a higher n-key rollover than USB? How can that be when it has only a fraction of the bandwidth? Any PS/2 keyboards that prove this true?
I am quite overwhelmed by the options here. Going from what I have read, I think I would like the Cherry Blue switches the best, for tactile+clicking. Brown also seems decent, and if scissor is like laptop keyboards, I would probably like that as well. How do capacitive keys feel and work?
Can anybody confirm the switches used in the Déck Legend, and if they will be switching to Cherry Blue or not? I think I can rule out the Topre keyboards because they are specifically advertised as "quiet keying" keyboards. What kind of switches do they use?
Black cherry MX switches do have feeling (i.e. they are tactile) but that feeling is a steadily increasing force as the key gets lower - they have no click.
Steadily increasing force... I don't think I would like that, I like the Model M, how the key goes down a little, and then "gives", and goes all the way.
