I am a bit wary of using browns. I am really tempted to get a Kinesis contoured after having very briefly tried one, however I obviously don't want to invest in a board that uses switches that I am not going to like. At the moment I am using Cherry blues full time and I have used Topre capacitive for a while previously which were also nice. In some ways I think that I will adapt to the switch however it would cause quite a considerable case of 'buyers' remorse' I suspect.

I'd skip the one near left though.


And here I was thinking she was unmarried...



Who's that cougar just to the left of that guy? *purr*

Probably his mom.

Be sure to get a portable USB duster, too.  I don't want your 'boards looking like that.  

In the spirit of using obsolete hardware, protocols, etc., I just use a feather duster.

I love my Advantage - I like blues (and browns) but the important aspect is the hand positioning - short of a maltron there isn't much competition.  The advantage has pretty much saved me from giving up my career - well worth the money (for me at least).

I had to read the call letters on the mic a few times in that strip.  Am I the only one that has such a dirty mind?

Product Description
From the Manufacturer
This newest addition to Metro's proven DataVac line has been completely redesigned from the ground-up. It is much more compact and comfortable to use than previous models and features a new, almost unbelievably powerful 500-Watt motor that literally blasts dust, dirt and debris off expensive computer/electronic equipment to keep it running at peak efficiency. The new DataVac Electric Duster is positioned as a "greener," more effective, and cost-efficient alternative to the controversial "canned air" products currently dominating the category.
Product Description
The compact, handheld DataVacŪ Electric Duster is far less expensive and safer for the environment than canned air. The 500-watt electric motor blasts off dust, dirt and debris to keep expensive computer and electronic equipment thoroughly clean and running at peak efficiency. The DataVacŪ Electric Duster is much more cost-efficient than expensive, throwaway cans of air, as well as, safer. The electric duster blows clean, dry, filtered air safe for all computer/electronic equipment, printers, copiers, fax machines, digital cameras, etc, as compared to canned-air, which can contain fluorocarbons (CFCS), halons, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform that are destructive to our environment. The electric duster is also condensation-free and contains no dangerous propellants.
