    HC, you're fighting against reality. They are called mechanical keyboards. If you wish, you can call them a "keyboards like those old IBM ones that make that nice *clunk* when you press a key".

      I don't like the red 'Esc' btw.

        I have a chiclet keyboard. I think it's just fine.

        And no numpad? **** that.

          Well, I do.

          Mine came with black by default. But it included a red ESC key in the box, which I put on.

          Just be glad I didn't go with one of these...

            What kind of nerd uses a numpad??

            They make those, too. I just don't want one.

            Hell, one of my co-workers uses this keyboard:

              I think my dad had one of those on his PC back in the late 80's plus I remember the C64 (which I was using at the time) also had such a keyboard. It wasn't until the early to mid 90's that everyone switched over to those bubble keyboards and I can remember my neighbor's dad talking to my dad that the keys on the bubble keyboards felt "mush and you don't get that satisfying click when you push a key".

                I have one of those old keyboards at home but I can't find an adapter for the old plugs.

                  Do they sell any of them with media keys?

                      Great idea. I hate the usual keyboards.

                        A nerd that plays MUDs, for example. Or a nerd that works for a bank and therefore types a lot of numbers. That is, me.

                          Mechanical keyboards are called mechanical keyboards because they are the only keyboards that use a mechanical switch.
                          I figured this thread would be about old-fashioned typewriters.
