My feelings after many keyboards has come down to this: Get one that
uses switches not membrane.
That's after
1. Owning 2 Keytronics, who voided my lifetime warranty for "spillage"
caused by spaying cleaner on the keyboard (i.e. bullshit excuse).
2. MS Natural, Rev 1 or so. Printing wore off, stiction on key travel
after a few months.
3. 3 logitechs. One goes unsupported (pre-iTouch); On another,
eventually required an elephant typist after 2 years (membrane); A 1.5
year old MX that despite being totally disassembled & cleaned by hand,
never since worked right mechanically (key travel has stiction) even
though electrically the membrane works fine; Lastly a $200 DiNovo
abortion that seems to consistently miss the "A" & "CTRL" keys unless
hit just right (membrane).
My next keyboard will at least have switches & likely corded.

For me a keyboard is a keyboard, is there any significant difference between
the ones that cost $20 and $120? I'll probably just nab one off of NewEgg.
I do some moderate gaming, but I rarely program a bunch of hot-keys. Any
recs would be appreciated..
