Title: Hello From Ohio
Post by: Corvarea on Mon, 08 June 2020, 11:30:26

Hey guys i  am new to this exciting hobby but not to PC's. I have been in the tech space for 20 years and currently work for Dell. Looking forward building a new board and trying out all the switches.

Dude! You're working for Dell! How often do you get references to those old computers? What keyboard do you have now?

I'd like to try an old Dell Quietkey board sometime. I used to use a good Honeywell membrane board back in the day and I have fond memories, wonder how they'd compare to stock mech boards today.

I've got a Quietkey that came with the Dimension D300 XPS we used to have. It's...okay.

If you want an old Dell keyboard, the AT101W is definitely the superior option, and it's not even that expensive.
