I have several keyboards I switch between. My home keyboard is a mechanical with MX Brown keys, my work one is a Logitech Wave keyboard with squishy dome keys. I have a second keyboard at work with scissor keys and a trackpoint. I'm thinking about ditching both of the latter and going to another MX keyboard, or a Buckling Spring one.
I have a lovely bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo unit, which comes in handy for setting up devices. I also have one of the finest keyboards, an IBM Model M. Nothing like a keyboard heavy enough to be used as an effective bludgeon.
I just got my new Kinesis Freestyle 2 Blue for Mac today. And I think the wide separation and the angle provided by the Ascent accessory will be good for me.
But when I type on its mushy blah surface all I can do is wish for the two best keyboards I've ever used: The IBM Model F 84-key PC-AT keyboard, and the IBM Executive Model D typewriter.
Mechanical FTW. I can do 70 wpm on a clicky keyboard, around 60 on a full-travel firm membrane, and it's downhill from there.
At work, I use a Focus 2001 keyboard that's around 25 years old; the cable is still a 5-pin DIN, adapted to a PS/2-style 6-pin mini-DIN, and through a USB converter.
DEC LK201. The LK401 was ok. The LK462 replacement went to cheaper switches (what can you expect once HP bought Compaq who bought DEC... cheapshit PC components, thats what).
It's something I feel like I should care a lot about but I really don't. I can type fine on whatever keyboard as long as the keys are in the right place.
@tightwad I like that one. I have two at home and one at work. I hate the stupid USB dongle though. I wish they'd make a Bluetooth version. I'd buy three and give these away.
More like Mehboard
Mechanical keyboard FTW
The ergo kind.

First time I've seen that Meh has reasonable expectations of what we will do in the forum if we don't like their choice of answers to the daily poll.
@DonberKon Also, I am typing this comment up on an Asus laptop integrated keyboard.

Where's the 'Whatever came with the computer' option? That's what I use
If you sell a keyboard that you can wear around your neck ...I'll buy one!
@smilingjack They're talking about the keytar, (piano guitar) in a funny way

Both of my fingers will work with any keyboard. Currently using a Logitech K750 wireless solar powered unit...feeling green.
@tightwad I have been using that one for a couple years now, still my favorite keyboard.
