Keyboard For Gaming

Opinion time-

What is the mostest bestest keyboard a person can have? Why? How much? Where?

Hah! That's easy. I'll probably be banned from this form for this, but I HAVE to have the ol' IBM buckling spring keyboard. None of those mushy "off" brands (tee-hee....). IBM no longer makes them, but you can get them here:

They have a stock, and a great price too.

Consider it a good investment into our computer heritage. If you don't like it you can donate it to your local Science and Technology museum.

Watch out though, you may have to reinforce your desk to keep it from collapsing under the weight!

Without a doubt. IBM!! The Sherman Tank of computer Equipment. I have an old '86 IBM keyboard and someone would have to kill me if they wanted it.

I'm sure they'll outlast the cockroaches.....the one I use at work (purchased with an IBM computer, no less, in 1989) survived a fire and accompanying water damage, and of course the numerous beverages, etc.

Not only re-inforce that desk, but get some ear muffs for when those springs start a bucklin'!

I love em!

Yep, I'm a fan of those keyboards too, but I don't have one right now (I needed to go with a split-key).
It's the computer equivalent of having an early 80's Buick on your desk. BIG, METAL, WONDERFUL.
