I use a CODE keyboard (Cherry MX green) and absolutely love it.It's got the numeric keypad, backlight etc. . This will be a keyboard for life. I also have a wireless mechanical keyboard but it was forever draining batteries. I have (wired) mechanical keyboards on every computer in my house (I

Thanks Grant, I did her that because they’re not “ergonomic” (slight curve in the keys to fit wrist position better) that they may not be suitable for people that use ergonomic ones at the moment - I currently use a Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000 Jason Roberts Journeyman Software Developer

I kind of don't understand what they do, their just a robust keyboard? You still have to press as hard? I've been loving apple keyboards as it's soft and easy to press, is it like this or going in the opposite direction? Thanks On Fri, Oct 24, 2014 at 1:49 PM, Craig van Nieuwkerk

I use the Filco Tenkeyless (without the numeric pad on the right) with the blue cherry switches. I spent probably $220 on it all up (I've got the plain keys without lettering so the keyboard is completely black... can't touchtype? not 1337 enough to use my computer!) If you spend 8+ hours
