dell quietkey or one of the old gateway rubber domes with the sculpted keycaps
Do scissor switches count? TypeMatrix 2030, and I'd try to get higher-quality keycaps for it... somewhere. Otherwise, I'd like to try some programmable Cherry G86.
I don't really mind BTC 51xx (w/ Cherry MX-compatible keycaps), old KeyTronic, Dell QuietKey, Silitek MaxiSwitch and possibly some others, but the layout! There's no way I'm going back to full-size AND winkeyless AND staggered layout. Maybe MS Natural Elite or Goldtouch Adjustable Keyboard...
Probably going to be considered blasphemy but if I had to go back to rubber domes I would probably pick this board. I used one for years and always liked it.Show Image(http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff510/acm_tech/product/other/dellkb2.jpg)

I'm typing on that model now :p
I think I've been using it for like 10+ years. It's super shiny, but only the W and D lettering is slightly worn off.
The domes on the Sidewinder X4 aren't the best, but it has something higher than 6kro, relatively low energy backlighting (red), and for gaming purposes the domes are nice (for a 40 dollar RD board). Macros, too, but I never used those.
So this would be my recommendation for gaming board if all mech go away somehow (wat)

It's a scissor switch board. Definitely one of the better non-mech boards out there.

Oh, are we playing the davkol contradicts people without specifying what he's arguing or backing up his claim at all game? I love this one.
Ok, my turn:
Yes it is.

I'm definitely interested in the result, because I'd like to do that to other RDs eventually.No, it isn't.The domes on the Sidewinder X4 aren't the best, but it has something higher than 6kro, relatively low energy backlighting (red), and for gaming purposes the domes are nice (for a 40 dollar RD board).

It's definitely RD (took mine apart). But I can see why some might say it feels sort of scissor switchy? There's not much travel on it which I actually liked for gaming. Maybe I'll go lube the caps on mine and see if anything cool happens lol.

The Dell L100 I used at my last job was decent. And I used to have a mid-90s KeyTronic that was better than most rubber domes I've tried.
Model M rubber dome.

Scissor switch counts as rubberdome right? (It has a dome under the scissor anyway)
[The Logitech DiNovo Edge] was way ahead of it's time in terms of style. Can you believe that beauty is almost 8 years old?Yes. The black Macintosh-inspired styling is quite dated now. Anodized aluminium, fingerprints everywhere on the glass surface. But the amber LEDs under the black glass are quite cool. Very good scissor switches.
