The spacebar on my 15 year old $15 newegg special with windows XP logo windows keys finally broke after 10 years on the edge, so I went out and bought a G413 silver because I was looking for something cheap but mechanical. I used a red MX510 until the left button got too hard to press reliably 2 years ago, for reference as to how cheap I am with peripherals that do their jobs.

I love it so far, just the bee's knees after 15 years of that loving garbage. I learned how to type on Selectrics and this just feels so good compared to domes. Plus you can actually loving clean it, I like the open floorplan a lot.

I bought a true high-end computer before I joined the 21st century of keyboarding, and I'm pretty sure there's no going back on either at this point.

Anyone bought a Unicomp in the last year or so? How are they? My girlfriend bought me one for my birthday because I learned to type on Model Ms and typewriters and I just wanna get an idea of how much of a difference I'm in for compared to the old ones you could murder someone with.

I'm using a Logitech G413 right now, for reference.

I've been using the full-size New M my girlfriend bought me for my birthday for about a month now, and it has been a return to form for this aging nerd that learned to type on typewriters and Model M's.

So I bought new keys, I'm digging it so far but I'm sure I'll end up making it look like a Flying Circus monstrosity when all is said and done.

Screwed up the colors on the 1 and 4 on the tenkey but otherwise I have a lot of fun typing on that thing, it's covered in fiducials that make it fast to orient in low-light and stuff.
