If you hang out on tech forums you will certainly have heard of the legendary IBM Model M keyboard. Unlike most keyboards out there it uses mechanical key switches instead of cheap membrane ones.

However, the IBM model is not the only one which uses those switches. daskeyboard also sells those kind of keyboards.

I’ve been using one for almost half a year now and if you are thinking about buying one: It is definitely worth it. Those clicky mechanical sounds make you feel happy when writing. Its solid pressure point and tactile feedback makes you go on typing forever. Because the fingers can rest on the keys and there is no tension required to keep them from falling and pressing wasd, you can type for hours without getting that fatigue finger-feeling usually caused by membrane-based ones.

And there is even a version with blank keys. How cool is that!

(at least I thought so until I wanted to take a print screen)
