Filco Tenkeyless Majestouch 2.

CM Storm Quickfire with replaced keycaps

[Grond]

Filco Tenkeyless Majestouch 2.

+1

[7bit]

Just the Tipro 122 key main-module, it is only as wide as a Noppoo and has got as many switches as a 3270 terminal emulator!

Otherwise I'd take the Noppoo. But this is 2011, in 2012 it will be the Phantom 7BIT layout ...

Folks, don't bother with +1 and repeating the same keyboard, this is a call for nominees, voting hasn't started yet.

Anyway, I'd like to nominate the following:

KBTalking Pure (similar to, but better thought out than the poker)
KBTalking Race (compact yet with dedicated arrow keys and backlit)
Data911 TG3 (amazing robustness, backlit, integrated touchpad)
Rapoo v7 (programmable !)
PLU ML-87 (good quality yet economical tenkeyless)

Realforce 10th Anniversary 87U

Why no Model M SSK love?

Apple Aluminum!

Finally I have a decent keyboard for my PS3. Plus, it's sometimes nice to not have to deal with wires.

The bluetooth Apple Aluminium works with the PS3?

[ripster]

Yep.

Stupid Apple forum posts made me think it didn't but it works fine.

Realforce 10th Anniversary 87U, awesome looking board.

[Findecanor]

Apple Aluminum!

The <Alt Gr> key is on the wrong place. It made my quite annoyed when I tried to write code using one yesterday.

Realforce white 87U uniform 45g. Yes, that specific

Reasons:
Uniform 45g weight
Dye sub keycaps
Tenkeyless
White/grey two-tone color
keycaps readable, unlike 87UB
Embedded numpad
LEDs! Unlike 86U
Dip switch Configurable capslock/Ctrl swap (and some other settings)
Rock solid build
Easy to open case, no tools needed
In high demand, initial stock sold out quickly (2 weeks?)
Firmware upgradeable - ripster's favorite feature
