Hello everyone.

Ups, I forgot to introduce myself.

I'm programmer from Poland.
I'm old enough to remember Linux 1.3 kernels ;-)
I do not play games, but I type (and think) for living.

I've recently typed on MX Blue and Brown keyboards, Brown is my favourite.
I've also typed on BS, and simplified ALPS keyboard, but it was 18 years ago, and I don't really remember how it feels.
I've never used Topre nor linear MX keyboard. I would like to try them some day, but my SO would object spending money on unnecessary gadgets.

Welcome!

I quite like the MX Brown switches too, use one of them for my work, but recently I've become quite a fan of the old buckling spring boards.  For work use, way too loud for the home.  :-)

Based in Poland, eh?  Close to the source for vintage Cherry keyboards!  Let us know if you see interesting options available locally, I'm a sucker for odd boards for projects.

I've got one unidentified mechanical keyboard at home, its not Cherry MX, it is not ALPS (switches are round around stems, not rectangular). Unfortunately it is ISO layout, and I'm used to ANSI. (You should know that the most common keyboard layout in Poland is ANSI physical layout with Polish Programmer's logical layout, that is US layout + diacritics accessible via 'AltGr + letter'.)

There is one thing you must understand about Poland, till 1989 we were behind Iron Curtain, privately owned personal computers were rare and offices didn't have many of  them. After 1990 political situation changed, but economical situation was not so good, therefore most private computers were built around cheapest components (think rubber dome). Office computers were acquired according to public procurement rules (there is only one rule: cheapest bid meeting requirements wins). Therefore vintage mechanical keyboards are few and far between.

I don't follow German on-line auction sites. I do not know German language, and I'm not interested in ISO keyboards.
There is a Polish auction site. Here is what I found there today: http://allegro.pl/klawiatura-mechaniczna-mx-11800-cherry-mx-brown-i3095969770.html (current price of 87PLN is roughly equal to $30).
