What is your favorite keyboard of ALL TIME?
« on: Mon, 17 January 2011, 18:22:45 »
So, if you were on a desert island (with a PC, monitor and high speed internet) and could only have ONE keyboard, out of all the keyboards you have tried or owned, which would it be?

You need the keyboard in order to send out an SOS. It will take a day and a half for you to be rescued, so you'll probably want to surf/play WoW/chat with friends/etc. in the meantime. Include a photo of the keyboard in your post and let us know what you'll be doing until you're rescued.

Mine would be the Realforce 87UB...so far it's the best keyboard I've tried. Smooth Topre switches and keyfeel, great looks and 6KRO. Until I'm rescued I'll FB Status everyone to tell them where I am and that I need to be rescued, tell my family, etc. Then I'll probably play some CS or UT '99 until I get bored and fall asleep. I might post on GH too.

I don't have a picture of it, but I'd choose an IBM Model F 122-key terminal board aka the Aircraft Carrier Board.  That way if nobody came to rescue me, I'd have the option of setting sail on top the huge keyboard.

In all seriousness, I'd choose the smaller sized IBM Model F, though if it's only for a day and a half, I could probably live with most keyboards.  I'd be much more opinionated in my choice if I was stuck there for months or years.

While I really like my Model F boards (122 and AT), and RealForces, I'd still choose:

I take requests for making keyboard converters (i.e. *old keyboard* to USB).

Model F AT. It's decent for hunting small and medium game. Need to eat somehow!

It's still the HHKB Pro 2.  GREAT layout, removable USB cable, built in hub, and decent feel.

HHKB Pro JP. Excellent form factor, removable USB cable and good feeling of oneness with cup rubber.
