I can't judge why you have no income, in your best (or worse) case scenario you live in the middle of nowhere and have a disability while caring for an entire family, but it doesn't matter. We spend silly amounts of money here on shiny things that don't exactly bring humanity forwards, but if I'm given a choice between giving away an amount on shipping a mechanical keyboard to someone who "needs" it, and giving it to charity, it's a pretty easy choice.
Keep on looking. IBM Model M's are common keyboards so one's bound to turn up someday. It may take a while like it took with me, but I eventually found a clicky keyboard in the garbage at my workplace.
If you can't find a mechanical keyboard for under $5, you're doin it wrong. I find them for $0-3 all the time, I'm also happy to pay $300 for the right one that someone else found for $1. So go find the right one and I'll give you $300.
If you can't find a keyboard, find something else or do something else or sell something else.... if you're motivated you will find one, if you're really motivated you'll find 50. Handouts to someone who won't take the initiative to help themselves does no one any good and frankly chaps my hide. Enjoy your rubber dome or get off your tail and do something instead of whining about the injustice of your situation. A situation that is pretty far from dire.
Give me 2 hours in any city and I guarantee I can come up with a mechanical keyboard. Walk into businesses and ask if they have any really old computer junk you could buy, talk to your school, talk to your church, go dumpster diving in the right places, get creative. Or just call a temp service and work half a day and buy a proper keyboard. Over 18? Donate plasma. Under 18? Mow a lawn or shovel snow.
Step 1: Acknowledge you are begging. Done, good job.
Step 2: Fix it.
Now get your sorry excuse for an ass out there and show me your keyboard face you sissy maggot!Show Image(http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/images/full-metal-jacket-sergeant.jpg)
EDIT: Go do something worthwhile to make some cash and come back when you have, then I'll give you a ripping deal on a Model M or some other Mechanical keyboard that's good enough to make you fall to your knees and thank the heavens you're no longer a lazy freeloader and you've actually accomplished something other than feeling sorry for yourself.
also i will be your sex slave
so if anyone could please please send me a keyboard and pm i feel bad for being a begger :\
It's April Fools Day.
But just to PROVE that Republicans have no sense of humor.
No need to watch all the way through. There IS no punchline.

There are many keyboards I would be very interested in buying, the point is not about what I'm looking for, it's that there are buyers out there for anything you have to sell. It's you taking initiative and getting some drive to find things to sell that makes the difference.
Find something like these and you'll have a whole lot of people competing with me to buy them:
I can't even begin to explain how much I dislike this cryticfarm kid. If you're a student, there are JOB LISTINGS EVERYWHERE.
Hate pathetic begging, and the sad part is somebody will probably end up sending him something.
classifieds
buy, sell, trade, barter, plead, beg, etc. (replaces marketplace forum)
Like I said, canadaYes, that's very useful. Unfortunately, I live in Edmonton, Alberta, but then I don't really have a mechanical keyboard I could spare (although I think I could spare one of the good DELL QuietKeys).
or do you mean like city, in that case, mississauga, ontario, canada
That computer on your desktop is more powerful than a $4 million IBM 360/195.
LMAO Rip, a Lego Seriouscat!!
So Crytic, what are you getting?
