i'll keep this list updated at least once a week (of course for the first 2 weeks it'll be updated regularly until we have a full list) so why? well a friend asked about mech boards i pointed him here and he said he couldn't find keyboards to buy, so i figured, might as well create a list for all.

updated lists die fast, i've been around for a while so i don't think there will be issues to me updating it.

again unfortunately i am an ergo guy, so i'm not up on the cutting edge of newly released mechanical keyboards, with which there is a slew of.

So list keyboards that you can buy now... (no weird ass maltron's or utrons) that a regular person can goto a brick and mortar store or ebay, and just type in the search term and buy.

I'm gonna do some research and fill in stuff, and put in "proper" search terms for the keyboard (no links)

my list to find...
cm i guess rapid is tkl / pro trigger 104
corsair vengeance k60 fps/k90 mmo
das model s (still kicking it old school i guess)
filco majestouch 2 and tenkeyless
hhk
logitech g710
noppoo choc mini/mid
razer blackwidow ultimate 2013/tournament/expert
rosewill rk 9000 (9100 led)
steelseries 6gv2/7g/
thermaltake meka

(will pretty it up when i'm not working)

I'd add Dos to the full size section. I have a Dos Ultimate with browns. Nothing sexy about it. Probably not on par with Filco or Leo, but I'd certainly place it above Razer in terms of build quality.

Unicomp sells a variety of desirable high-quality buckling spring keyboards.

The fact that they are of arguably lesser quality than their IBM-branded counterparts from the previous millennium does not diminish their value today.
