An IBM Model M keyboard. It's a mechanical keyboard that has a reputation for being *rock solid* and one of the best keyboards ever. Can't wait for it to come to make Oppo more *clicky*

PS/2 port! My desktop surprisingly has one. ASRock still has PS2 ports on some of their motherboards.

Wow for some reason I really want to buy one of these now, typing on one would probably feel/sound awesome.

They're a bit expensive but if you can find one in good condition, I hear it's worth it. I'll write a mini-review when I get it.

Holy shit, best keyboard EVER. When you strike a key you know it....no question. POSITIVE. And dat metal frame...beat somebody to death and then use it to write their obit. I have one on my old machine downstairs...I should bring it up here, use a PS-2/USB adapter and plug it into my laptop and drive my wife crazy with the noise.

I tried one of those for a while, but I ended up typing DOuble CApitals all the time for some reason. I like the cheap Dell AT101W with the Alps keyswitches, and my DD keyboard is a Leopold tenkeyless with Cherry MX Clear switches.

I'd probably be willing to switch back to the Model M if I could find a cheap M13, with the little joystick mouse thing in the middle. I love being able to make small mouse movements without taking my hands off the keyboard.
