My model M keyboard arrived today. It weighs 800 lbs, takes up my whole desk, and sounds like a washing machine full of wrenches... I love it.

@Fuego The only reason I'm not using one of my old Model M keyboards is that they won't work with "passive" PS/2-USB adaptors so instead of buying an adaptor I went and splurged on a Razer BlackWidow v2.

That was before I discovered how dodgy Razer are, so that's a mistake I won't make again. Heh.

Anyhow, I love the solid feedback of the buckling-spring switches, and believe you me, back when I was using TeamSpeak and Ventrilo, all my friends from City of Heroes knew it too. TAKaTAKaTAKa...
