IvyMike: Keyboard bling.

Wednesday, March 07, 2007

My current keyboard is getting a little old, so I've been thinking about upgrading. Here are some of the cooler keyboards I've found:

Matias Tactile Pro 2.0. "Premium mechanical keyswitches", USB 2.0 Dock, "Optimizer" key. Looks a lot like my current Apple keyboard. $149, ships in April.
Deck Legend Ice. Every key individually backlit. "Deck™ uses a sublimated negative printing process which drives the ink into the plastic keycaps at 525°f." Way cool. $169!
Saitek Eclipse II Keyboard. Backlit, media keys. At $55, it's a steal.
IBM USB Keyboard with UltraNav. Almost the same keyboard as in my Thinkpad, down to the integrated trackpad and trackpoint. $100.
Kinesis Advantage USB contoured keyboard. Looks crazy... crazy awesome, that is. $299!
Das Keyboard. When you're just too cool for key labels. It's supposed to have unparalleled tactile response, too. $80.
Endurapro. No bling, just a solid keyboard. $99.

I'm still looking, so hit me up with your favorite.

i almost got the saitek, but joe talked me into a cheaper one, which was probably for the best. i don't notice it in my daily typing, and maude keeps kicking poop on it.
