Well, I can't stand it. The cheezy Dell keyboards at work are just toooo lame. I'm taking my prized IBM M2, since the desk for the project I'm working on is tiny, and hoping the noise doesn't get me branded some kind of radical throwback! Wish me Luck! TPF

Good luck!
Every workplace should let you endulge you a bit now and again I think!

I bring my Filco brown to work and no one notices. I continue with a Ninja keycap set for alpha keys, and our colleagues like it.
-
I'd definitely get fired if I brought in my Model M to work. They would not appreciate it

Everyone thinks I'm weird just because I visits a website about keyboards, let alone if I brought in my own to work.

My coworkers think I'm weird because over the past few months I've had pretty much every keyboard in my sig (except for the Dell and the Unicomp) here at work for at least a few days. Right now I've got my MJ2 Brown and Das Keyboard on my desk, and the guy who works next to me is borrowing my PLU to see how he likes reds (he usually uses a Black Widow).

Caution: coworkers will know when you're slacking off.
The Model M is great if you do any kind of phone tech support. Your caller will hear the keyboard and (with luck) realize that you're doing something on the computer and they should shut up until you're done :biggrin:

This week I brought Model M SSK, Poker Red, Chicony 5181, Apple M3501, Poker ergo-clear to work. I'm already known as 'the keyboard guy' :smile: They usually just look at the keyboards a little bit and walk away.
