Yes, check the mouse cable isn't trapped under it...


badumpah!

I'm using a "Das Keyboard 4 Professional" with blue cherry switches.
Had a lot of problems with other keyboards, keys getting stuck and such. This one has been working like a charm for years now.

CM Storm Quickfire Pro Red
Q-Pad MK85 Red

Not a chance I'd go back to a non-mechanical keyboard.

Well I'm using A4tech X7 G300 keyboard and recently got another one in case my current one dies

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!

Seriously though, what on earth did you do to that poor piece of equipment? It's like the PC hardware equivalent of the tortured frankensteinian toys of the sadistic kid next door in Toy Story.

I use a Logitech K400r wireless for general stuff. Works alright and I think Logitech Setpoint Software is a mess but I use my PS4 controller primarily for games anyway.

Why it looks a little like this one.

It's funny to hear modern gamers complain if they have to press shift from the home row of keys when little ladies in the olden days managed to do it with those contraptions

Aww, that's a shame. The blasted website doesn't even specify what the mechanism is. An excellent upgrade. I've never used cherries, but as I understand I've basically skipped a few steps anyway. :P Yeah, that does look like a crummy keyboard. I think I have a model similar to it, as a dust attractant. Cleaning a keyboard like that really shouldn't be too hard, especially with a bit of retrobrite.
That...looks like a custom job.
I've got a Lexmark rubberdome Model M upstairs. I dunno, it almost feels like a tactile uncanny valley, kinda wrong, you know?
Well, what's going wrong?
This is how I feel now. And the Unicomp board isn't too expensive, nor does it light up like a holiday tree.

Well, it's not exactly difficult, but it does take a while to do it properly. Ordinary soapy water will do it. I did clean it once about 10 years ago, but I really should get around to doing it again one of these days. What I did last time was to pop off all the keys and soak them in a bowl of hot soapy water, then wipe off the case itself with a wrung-out cloth soaked in soapy water. Finally I took the keys out of the bowl one by one, scrubbed them, rinsed them off, and then left them on a dry dishcloth to dry for a couple of hours before putting them back on the keyboard.

At home, though, I use a QPad MK-80. Wonderful Cherry MX Blue switches, and backlight.

I do have a bunch of other keyboards as well, most of them not currently in use. A couple Model-M ones with DIN plugs, a cheap Japanese-layout rubber-dome USB one I purchased when I got the idea that I should try typing as part of learning the language, a couple Apple ADB keyboards for my old Macintoshes, a couple USB keyboards for Mac, the Belgian/French layout PS/2 one I bought and switched around keys to make it qwerty (because fuck azerty) for my first x86 machine (based around an 550Mhz Athlon and a Gigabyte motherboard I can't remember the model of), the keyboard from my Logitech Cordless MX Desktop combo is probably still around somewhere (the mouse is long gone and I'm not certain I have the receiver), I've a minimal scissor-switch bluetooth keyboard for my PS3, and finally there's the absolutely horrific XBox 360 chatpad, which I've previously reviewed somewhere around here.

I may have forgotten a couple, and I can't be arsed to move the few metres I'd need to check.

Unfortunately not. Would love to try one out, but I can certainly bet that it wouldn't help me much. After having used keyboards for several hours every day for over 20 years now, I still haven't learned to touch-type and need to look where my fingers are.

I suppose that's just an age thing.

Nothing yet, just like to have a spare in case of something happens so I can replace it right away.

I have two: the standard Apple keyboard w/ numpad for my Mac and an el cheapo Logitech K120 for my Winbox.

I never understood the obsession people have with mechanical keyboards. I was never a fan of all that clacking.
