Yea, choices, choices, choices.
That 91UBY does look pretty awesome, but looking at my keyboard, I press the spacebar pretty much right underneath the "J" button, and I'm not too keen on having to skootch over so much just for a keyboard. I'd probably be pressing in between the space bar and the button that has that circle...
The thing is, I've dealt with high-end yo-yos (
http://www.flickr.com/swilly if you want to see some crazy stuff, and believe me, there are a lot of collections crazier than mine out there...), high end audio (settled on some JH5 pros, probably not going anywhere in terms of upgrading, at least for a loooong time), and now keyboards. Except that yoyos and headphones are a lot easier to ship around for trading, and keyboards would get costly due to size and weight.
Hard as it is, I would like to get a keyboard and stick with it for a while, and most likely, any of these high ends (since this is my first true mechanical keyboard, not a Steelseries 7G I loaned for several months) will satisfy me, Leopold, Filco, Das, Legend, Topre... etc.
I'm actually trying to stay away from gaming all that much, so maybe I shouldn't have a problem with variable weight.....
I tried the WoW 10-day trial, but finally told myself to stay away; I think there are more things to do that can occupy my time, like type up random stories (esp. if I get an awesome new keyboard, haha.)
Topre and Leopold seem to be the main players in my decision now, since (once EK gets them in stock), those are the brands that should readily have 10keyless keyboards available...
How much does a nickel weigh? I'm going to have to test out my laptop's force required to push the button down to get an idea...
Thanks!
