Hey all,
Been browsing here for awhile, but first actual post. I learned to type on an IBM M2 and never quite got over the tactile feedback of a good spring buckle keyboard
Now, I'm looking to replace some keyboards at work (including mine and my boss's). I'm a lucky man -- the boss has told me to go spec something out and send him a link. There are a few requirements, though:
- Fairly cheap. Under $50 would be best, but I could justify a little more.
- Standard US layout
- USB. Having no PS/2 ports is part of why we're buying keyboards (yeah, I know, we *could* buy an adapter ... but they're mushy Dell boards)
- Quiet. It doesn't have to be silent, but it is an office and I don't think I can get by with spring buckle or loud mechanical boards.
If anyone remembers the Compaq multimedia keyboards from the mid to late 90's, I remember them having a fairly snappy feel for a dome top ... is anything like that still made?
