Also, that keyboard is quite loud to type on compared to any other keyboard in our house.
No, it doesn't. It is a little loud compared to some of the newer keyboards. My parents' gateway keyboard from an original Gateway profile that I got for free is much louder. My favorite one that I own would probably be my 14 year old Dell Quiet touch.
My favorite keyboard is my $5 Logitech one where I took out all the keys and moved them around one day when I was bored. :D
lol That would make it hard for a lot of people to type.

It's fine as long as you leave F and J in place (assuming you can touch type).

I've memorized where the keys are on my keyboard, so even if they were hopelessly out of order, I could still type with relative ease.

I'll have to take some pictures of my workspaces sometime...

I can type pretty well without looking, but only if I don't think about it.

I have myself a Das 3 Ultimate keyboard.
Expensive sucker, but I actually got it as a gift.

As close as I can really get to an IBM Model M really, I don't have near the money for one of those.
The clicky keys aren't *quite* as nice as a Model M's keys, if you ask me, but damn close I must say.


I can type roughly 70 wpm average, but my absolute highest has been 115. (I've yet to break 105 again)

Come on, those are only $70 new. And they're made in the US, too!

That's not a Model M.
It's simply a clone.

I'd want a genuine one, if anything :roll:

Why wouldn't they sell it under the name "Model M" if that were the case?
They're amazingly desirable.

I guess I can't judge what silly Unicomp does with their products...

(I'm not saying you're wrong, it's true, Unicomp does own the rights to the Buckling Spring technology.)
