Hi all,
Newbie from UK,
I was building out my parts list for my sons arcade machine I am building and started getting nostalgic, first for arcade mania that I had as a kid, then moved on to Atari ST emulation (have one in the loft) thru one of my Raspberry Pi's. Then I moved on to PC nostalgia - remembering my old 286 setup and the great keyboard I have.
I spend 8 hours a day working on a Thinkpad laptop and hate the keyboard. Memories of clicky solid keyboards led me to look for one and I was amazed at how expensive they are and limited in their availability (my parents junked my old setup that was in the loft for many years when they moved house.
Well i've been searching for a bargain since, and picked up a Moretec white Alps (yep learning about the different click's) at a junk shop for a fiver and waiting for the PS2 converter to try it out. Lite click but she seems in good order.
End game is Model M, and at a good price. I've found what I think is one (bundled deal with old bits), and am very eager to get my hands on it (fingers).
Aim to irritate the hell out of the people I work with who tap silently on their laptops at work!
