Look for specifically the NMB ones, which have a model number that starts with RT. The Dell QuietKey RT7D5JTW is the best, and it should have a "Made in Thailand" label on the sticker.

They use NMB Rubber Dome With Sliders. Pretty good for rubber domes and definitely worth trying if your mechanical keyboard pride doesn't get in the way.

Yeah the NMB ones (sticky discrete dome with slider over membrane) are pretty good, I rated them quite high in my dome with slider megareview :D .

(sticky discrete dome with slider over membrane)


I have gotten them with both light and dark blue domes, and also orange. I don't think that there was any real difference in feel, and they were all the RT series.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

I've also found a purple version, but that was also the same. I'm actually saving different colour NMV sticky domes xD .
