KU-1255 is the best keyboard I've ever had :) It's just my fingers and me not wanting to spend more than $120 on a keyboard. And now it's showing it's age. I want (or even NEED) to replace KU-1255.

I see that the new lenovo board is going to be out. With no wired connectivity. I'm a bit paranoid ...

Ok, so I got the board. Some pics are here https://goo.gl/photos/7KqCgJS75drbLVKp7 . I've put some of my conclusions from a few days of using below.

The scissor boards and laptops I use daily:
- Lenovo X220
- MacBook Pro early 2015, 13 inch
- Lenovo KU-1255 03X8715
- cheap Chinesse scissor board ...

this is the sweetest thing I've seen in the internet lately

this one will be used at home, and since I've got 3 small kids, I have very little time for leisure computing, max 3h/week.

I'm using the lenovo 8 hours a day for a year or so at work. My fingers are very dry, so I've already "polished" most of the keys on it, but the mechanics still work fine ...

this is something that other people at my office use. In PL it costs about 20-25 euro. So not 100 USD for the MS product. The A4tech KV-300H ...

Hi!

After I've replaced a full MX blue board with a lenovo 0B47190 at work, I instantly fell in love with scissor type switches on for regular use. I want to get some other scissor switch enabled keyboard and I found this:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mini-Bluetooth-Computer-Speaker-S11-TF-Card ...

Looks like this might be a dome board, but maybe only the numpad is dome-based. Look at the pictures here this: http://allegro.pl/klawiatura-logitech-k ... 83057.html

Well, there is a high possibility that someone will kill me, but hey, world belongs to the brave.

I've got a question about Logitech K280e K290 keyboards. Does anyone know what switch type these boards have? Are those normal boring domes or scissor laptop/type switches?

Best regards

Still typing ...

elecplus: what would you recommend? Rubberdomewise I have the Lenovo 73P2620 which has great key shapes and great overall ergonomics, Fujitsu ergoboard is slowly travelling towards me. I'm typing this on a MX blue gaming keyboard and I also have Fujitsu KPQ-E99AC-14 with inverted Mitsumi domes.

I'm using cherry MX blues at work right now, so sound is not an issue. I've just wanted to check out this dell, but since you generally tell me this is shit, I'm crossing it of my bucket list.

A few PLNs and a few hours saved

Hi!

The question stated above. I know about the wiki page http://deskthority.net/wiki/Dell_QuietKey

You can easily get SK-1000REW with rubber domes, RT7D5JTW with domes with sliders is a bit more rare.

I'm asking, since people are generally very satisfied with those dells and since you can get ...

Fujitsu ergoboards in Poland. Seller will post abroad. 15 pln (that's 3,5 euro) + postage.

oh you! Be sure to post your experiences after you get it

1391403 IBM Model M, DE layout, 2 units, made in 1987 and 1992, all functional but dirty. Located in EU. What could be the value?

@002 thanks! So it's alps clone board. Is it still any good? The seller says it's "clicky".

Can you tell me what is that? Looks like ALPS...

This machine would be the sweetest thing to play old dos games. 486 for DOS4GW titles was blazing fast. All the lucasarts titles, first UFO, flashback, warcraft 1...

You might want to try putting a LAN card in that, trying some TCP/IP on DOS, than telnet onto some local linux box and use a text ...

Hi!

does anyone know anything about the switch type in this keyboard? I've googled a bit and found nothing.

I have access to one unit, PS2, some european layout. I'm wondering if it is worth to try to clean it up.

Another thing - do you think there would be any real interest in SUN 5c? I have ...

They sell for 80-100 pln refurbished here in PL. 20 quid seems ok.

I've had very medicore experiences with cheap Logitech and Repoo wireless keyboard+mouse sets. Logitech is a bit better, but still crappy if you would compare this to cheap wired corporate rubber dome keyboards.

What I would recommend to look for are Fujitsu wireless sets LX390, LX901 and the like ...

Hi!

I'm looking for some el'cheap'o TKL keyboard for typing. So MX Blues or Ducky Green Alps is the way to go I guess + a custom wristrest.

Keyboards that were cheap and not-so-bad are gone. I have CM Storm Quickfire Rapid and the Ducky XM 1087 on my mind.

Are there any new models that are ...

Mechanical AULA blue switches

Well, I ain't no gamer, but gamming meanwhile…

I seek for something dirty cheap to type with. I've googled a few minutes to find something on those "mechanical aula blue switches" and it looks like those are MX blue copies. Maybe made by Kailh? Geekhack says so ...

Hi!

Check out, what I have found.

It's also available on newegg

It looks like it uses MX blue ...

Guys, since we get along so nice, I've got to settle one more thing: To be TKL or not to be TKL.

Is the hand movement towards the mouse on the right that much shorter and faster, that getting a TKL is worth that much of a hustle? Or not? Some of you still use old terminal keyboards that have a big ...

Hey jakkul, if you're in Warsaw then you might be in luck. I've seen nice keyboards go for like 100zł on Allegro before - check it out. :)

Scott, I'm in constant contact with the dude that sells them. This is the same guy that recorded the video with the Fujitsu keyboard. He lives in 3city. He ...

Thank you for your comments. Some were delightful, some were very informative, some were both.

Ah, yes, I did ask for permission from my wife to get myself a new toy :) That feels a bit strange, since she does not consult me if she goes to get ANOTHER pair of shoes or a new dress/bag/what-the-s**t ...

Check out the quick videos in my Ducky Shine 3 review for realistic MX red, green (same as blue), and IBM buckling spring comparisons:

http://deskthority.net/review-f45/ducky-shine-3-tkl-all-yellow-special-edition-t7130.html

I recorded them all with the same mic and setup. That's how they are ...

Is that Fujitsu buckling spring? The video never actually takes a cap off, but the backplate looks almost right.


I googled and this is not Fujitsu buckling spring, but this http://deskthority.net/wiki/Buckling_rubber_sleeve the first pic.

The keyboard was made in 1997 and I got it brand new ...

well, I would like to take the keyboard to work and continue using the Fujitsu at home (which has topre-like mitsumi switches just like this IBM http://www.clickykeyboards.com/index.cfm/fa/items.main/parentcat/33623/subcatid/0/id/551026). It might happen that some people in the openspace would not ...

Dear Oracle.

I guess it is a good place to start by asking what keyboard should I pursue next.

I currently use Lenovo 73P2620 and Fujitsu KPQ-E99AC-14 (this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFtSSXJ8D64). The first one has GREAT wrist comfort, the second is quite ok, especially with the key ...
