so let's say I want to get a hipster keyboard, what should I get?

things I want:
- no number pad, but everything else - is that an 87-key layout?
- mechanical switches
- no real clicky-clack (open floor plan :emo:)
- no LED bullshit, I'm not a *~GaMeRz~*
- maybe some colored-plastic keys if they look awesome

Against my better judgement I loaned my model m to one of the helpdesk guys who wanted to try it out. I'm 90% sure it's older then he is. Just gotta reel it in nice and slow and soon I'll have the entire help desk staff clacking away on unicomps :getin:

Don't do what I did and get reds on your first keyboard. They actuate with miniscule amounts of pressure which leads to thousands of typos as you brush your fingers on the wrong keys.

they also provide zero feedback, by design. it's quite difficult to know when the key has been pressed.

I have no clue what they are good for

i have the numpad version of this:
http://matias.ca/miniquietpro/pc/ (not a standard 87-key layout it's more like one of 50 billion nonstandard 75% layouts)

it's supposed to be quieter than cherry mx browns, i've never actually had a brown switch keyboard so i dunno

maybe clears, they are basically browns but stiffer, requiring more actuation force. never typed on them myself, though.

you ever try blues? you might like their clickyness.

get out there and grope some keyboards, I guess.

i haven't washed my penis since i jerked it to a phtotograph of george w. bush in 2003
i suggest ordering one of the pbt keycap sets from wasd along with your keyboard, instead of the code which has led lighting (you don't need that) and clear switches (you probably would prefer browns)
