I want a fullsize 60% TKL keyboard with ABS keycaps that are doubleshot PBT.

It needs a PS/2 connector, and at least 2 USB ports.

Preferably a non-detachable cable that I can remove so I can transport it more easilier.

Oh and MX Topre switches.

Any suggestions?

why do you want ps2 compatible, the ps3 has been out for years and ps4 is coming soon

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

correct.  only a long term user would realize that for example the topre crowd is a circle jerk crowd who more often
than carry out their inane worship based on the fact that they've just spent some money and must justify to themselves that it was worth spending.

This is where we see the bulk of topre worship and fanboism

Hey geekhack I just want to know what is the best keyboard and money doesn't matter because my dad doesn't know I have his credit card its a topper right

I was around  before anyone had heard of "noob" and 98% of people didn't know what the "internet" was, so I guess I was never one :)

Kids were respectful, people did meaningful things, the average IQ was 50 points higher, and there was one correct way to speak and write English.

Having the ability to view and say whatever they want has turned kids into nasty pansexual morons whom value virtual things more than real things, spend all their free time giggling at "epic failz" and "cna i has cheezburger", and insulting each other.

It's hard enough to look for the keys on one board, now I have to look through two boards for every letter? Is it just more ergonomic since it slows you down?
