Filco Majestouch: http://www.overclockers.com.au/article.php?id=888593
Das Keyboard Model S: http://www.overclockers.com.au/article.php?id=900540

The Das is still going strong, typing this on it.

Added, thanks for that

Hopefully they make a difference, let us know. I might end up ordering some myself.

Watched a youtube review on the Das Keyboard Professional. User says that the letters on the keys start to wear off after a while i.e. they aren't lasered on. :@

Does anyone know of the TT MEKA G1 has lasered key caps?

EDIT: so the Das Keyboard actually has laser etching whilst the TT MEKA G1 is pad printed.

Any of you gents find this an interesting site?

Deck Legend and 82 are the most attractive to me but havent ever seen one or heard the sound.

Geekhack has a metric ton of mechanical KB info. Their start here wiki was really helpful when I bought my KB.

Also Unicomp who still make buckling spring KBs. They bought the technology from Lexmark who in turn bought it from IBM so they still retain the iconic Model M look & feel.

You are very quick to beat down onto people.

Got a blackwidow rolling in hopefully today.

Any owners of the illuminated Deck keyboards?

I'm fine with typing out words and stuff it's seconday functions which I look at the keyboard for.

Akh-Horus · 15th July 2011, 10:13 PM

Fired up the razer tonight - LOVE IT.

Stupid me though - hadnt checked which flavour was illuminated - this isnt the one

Now to find someone to swap one of the DAS of someone with a blackwidow ultimate who doesnt need led lighting.
