Depends on the model.
SK-1000REW is garbage.
SK-8000 is mediocre.
RT7D5JTW (made in Thaliland) are exceptionally good for rubber domes. Dedicated Delrin sliders and individual domes. However, they yellow really easily.
Thanks for this, I will write these down and make sure I get the correct one, do all three models use the sliders, or is just one of them? I like the slider feel compared to standard rubberdomes, although my G83 (cymotion) has high quality rubber domes compared to the rest of the domes I've used. What can I say? My Model M makes far too much noise when I decided to have a type-out-stake-out next to my parents rooms.
There are many, many different keyboards out there that say "QuietKey" on them, but most of them aren't the good ones. I have a room full of QuietKeys that are all crap.
I'd do a search to look for the good model#s and country of manufacture that help to identify the good QKs. The QKs we had around the office ~14 years ago locked up my forearms like the worst RSI ever (even though it wasn't RSI). Hate'em, hate'em, hate'em.
Hoping for the Thailand model!
Sounds weird with your fingers though.
Good CRTs are also in demand by gamers who want high frame rate, good picture and low lag.
All (?) LCDs have either lower update rate or lag (IPS and VA)
or bad display angles (TN) compared to CRTs.
CRTs are indeed still better but with burn in and the PSUs slowly dwingling on them it is hard to find one with a good amount of colour and will last a long time. Saying that, i've been on a Mitshibishi Diamond 220 since October or something that I got for free and it's treating me very well, it will be ten years old this year.
LAG/HZ wise the only comparison truly available is the 120hz LCDs, which cost ~£200. Until the prices lower I will continue using my CRTs, even if the quality is smaller and I get asked why I have a 'big ass' monitor hanging out of my window. Might take a picture of it soon. It saddens me that people just dismiss the things as junk, something that lasts for 10 years and does 160hz can not be junk. Going to be a sad day when it dies.
