Mechanical Keyboards

[TSE]

Hi guys.

Currently looking at Mechanical Keyboards for my dorm room next semester... wish this black Apple Pro USB keyboard had a better typing experience as it looks gorgeous.

I want one most similar to the Model M, without the numpad, and preferably in black for around $100.

Anyone use something similar? All I see are the FILCO ones, and they all come in different mechanical key flavours. Any suggestions?

It says, "compare to the legendary Model M"

Keyboards aren't that hard to find...

Hey TSE!

Maybe take a look at these. It's comparable to the Filco keyboards.

Oh and if you don't know what flavor you should get maybe consider taking a look at this as well.

If you want a black Model M style keyboard for ~$100, have a look at Unicomp. These keyboards are about as close as you can get to a genuine IBM Model M. However, I don't believe they have one without a numpad. Also, they do offer Mac keys for any of the Windows keyboards they sell. I currently use a Spacesaver M, which comes standard with Mac keys (great keyboard, btw).

I hope you won't have a room mate, because these things are LOUD.
