I'm glad I found you guys! See, I have had this need over the last year or so, to find the best keyboard I could find. I started with a Rosewill mechanical, next a Razer blackwidow, then to a steelseries, followed by a Realforce 84, to a HHKB. These are the keyboards I've kept (well, the rosewill died, should have kept it for parts!), so I'm not counting a number of other ones that didn't last very long at home at all!
I'm on a quest guys. I need to find that keyboard where I touch it, and unicorns jump out from behind a pot of gold, and singing "we are the champions." I have faith in you random internet peoples!
Anyway, nice to meet you all! I'll see you around!

Welcome to Geekhack!
We have unicorns around here - pink ones.
Sounds like you have tried a good range of keyboards. Maybe a buckling spring one should be next.

Pink ones you say! Well that's a start.
Yes, I remember when I was really young having a Buckling spring keyboard. I really liked typing on it. But then my parents got the smaller and "better" keyboards that came with the newer computers. Later on I worked for a computer firm building computers. They had a back room FILLED with old IBM keyboards. Such a waste when I look back. I should really go see if they have them still!
Yep, that may be my next move. Is clickykeyboards the best place to find model M boards?

Could be. Or eBay - bargains sometimes turn up there.
Or if you want to try the modern equivalent from the company that took over their manufactuer: http://www.pckeyboard.com/
