   Frankly the phrase “Buckling Spring”, whilst wonderous, is not worth £40. Unless I’ve missed something and there is a real reason you want the keyboard?

   How could anyone not want a keyboard that “Makes two-handed computing as much fun as one-handed”? (Near the bottom of the page.)

   You’re probably right though. I can’t justify spending that much money on a keyboard, or even The One True Keyboard. Not for now at least.

   I use an old 1984 IMB keyboard myself. They are best for typing. My comments: http://www.hardwaregeeks.com/board/showpost.php?p=281723&postcount=14

   Ugh…is that for sentimental reasons perhaps?? My all time favourite (was worth every cent):

   Elric? Qui sont vous?

   That keyboard fails for three reasons:

   1) It’s USB. While my PC still has PS/2 ports, I intend to continue using them.
   2) 104 Keys. It needs to be 105 or 102 keys (with a UK English layout).
   3) A glowing keyboard? A bit gimmicky, isn’t it? And my computer has enough lights on it already that I have to cover it at night so that it doesn’t keep me up.

   There’s also the fact that I don’t really need a new keyboard anyway, so I’m not going to bother getting one unless it’s really good.
