Re: [STUMP] mechanical keyboard guide

[Haller, Tom]

Excellent article.  Mechanical key switches definitely have a much nicer
feel than the common rubber membrances.  This company still makes
full-size keyboards with mechanical switches, much like the old IBM's:

I have one of their updates of the classic IBM Model M, and it is very
good quality and feels great to type on.

This vendor has a selection of mechanical switch keyboards.  I bought a
couple of keyboards from them recently and they turned around my order
in a couple of days:

My favorite keyboard these days is actually the compact Happy Hacking
keyboard.  The "Lite" model is rubber membrane and I have used a couple
of them for years with no issue.  It actually feels pretty good
considering it is not mechanical.  Apparently they do or did manufacture
some more expensive models with mechanical switches but alas they do not
seem to be available, at least in the U.S.  A Happy Hacking keyboard
with mechanical switches would be my idea of a perfect keyboard.

I have absolutely no connection to any of the above vendors, I am just
obsessed with keyboards (and avoiding mice) and am happy to share.

P.S.  Thank you Shawn for making life better for the keyboard-centric
amongst us.
