In any case, the ultraslim cherry is a bad idea?


Yes. The Cherry boards we've been praising here have MX switches, G84s have ML switches, which are totally different and rather bad.
Typing on blues.

Okay, last question. before I take the plunge and buy the unicomp, I want to ask something about the das keyboard. I've been hearing a lot about getting a student discount on it. Will that bring the price of it down to that of a unicomp of a used model m, and if so, how can i get it?

The student discount is about 24%, anyhow if you still haven't gotten the keyboard, you ought to look into the Razer Black Widow. It uses Cherry Blue keyswitches and is probably a little bit more than the Unicomp. Not too sure about its build quality though, but coming from Razer it can't be all that bad.

Unicomp is still better in most important respects.
