Do you like mechanical keyboards, I love them, bought one because I had X amount of amazon rewards points and it cost after that 5 bucks. It has been for me much more precise, because I can feel the click when I type, and feel two clicks when I type two keys at once, plus I do not need to mash the keys to know I typed that letter, as the click told me I did so.

Reminds me of the old keyboards for the olds ibm pc's and the apple 2's. The downside is the click is very loud and audible, meaning no silent typing vs membrane keyboards or even hybrid keyboards.

Most of my typing out side business is on mobile devices like pads or phones. But I find mechanical boards much quicker and less prone to errors.
 
Nothing like the old IBM clicky keyboards!

I love 'em!
 
I’ve got a new fancy one that I paid a lot of money for but I love it. My fiancée hates it she says it sounds like I’m fighting the keyboard when I type. I tell her that you have to dominate the words.
 
Keyboard over thumbs.......
 
I am looking at them, but they mostly say for gaming.

Are the gaming keyboards the same as regular keyboards? I'd love to have a really good keyboard for my desktop, because I spend so much time on the desktop doing homework. These are cool, with different colors, big, beefy looking...
 
Like would this one be good for regular home use? I need a good, solid keyboard. I have the hardest time getting a really good keyboard that lasts.

All of them are good for home use, but keep in mind that keyboard has otemu blue switches, which are knockoffs of cherry blues, my keyboard has otemu blues as well. They work very well but they are very loud, so keep that in mind with lower end mechanichal keyboards. Mine seems to be getting quieter as i type more on it, but they advertise it as a gaming keyboard, it has done no good for games at all over a normal keyboard, but has made typing easy, I no longer have to mash keys to make sure they worked, I just feel and hear the click.

btw the keyboard you linked is spill resistant, wish I had gotten that one I spill beer on keyboards a lot. I also get ashes in my keyboard, I think there is a unknown force that sucks cigarette ashes from the ashtray into the keyboard, but my new one I got has raised keys making it easy to clean. This is the keyboard I got but when it was on sale.

I have an external keyboard for my at home laptop and my away laptop. I love them.
The membrane keyboard on my iPhone sometimes get difficult with the letters on the edges, and i need a stylus anyway to type fast with them.
Yes, chalk me up with the mechanical keyboards.
I also have covers for both of them so liquids spilt do not ruin them.
 
I've been hooked on ergonomic keyboards, esp the ones that have a joint in the middle so they can 'split', since I became aware of them

If I ever have to use 'normal', rectangular mechanical one, I'm totally at a loss, slow way the hell down and make a LOT more mistakes.

I think you are referring to physical keyboards not mechanical keyboards. Mechanical keyboards have mechanical switches on each key, while identical looking keyboards can have rubber dome membrane contacts. chiclet keyboards are membrane keyboards without physical keys, meaning you push on the membrane itself, which gives the feel of fondling zombie flesh when you type.
 
LOL, no need to worry about the noise if you are not watching porn on the DL! JK (wait...maybe projecting :3oops: )

I have a laptop with a keyboard and had the option of touchscreen (a gift from my, great brother) I opted for the HP laptop with key board.

Thank you for the clarification. I think I would lie a mechanical keyboard even better.
My K key is stiff and does not respond sometimes.
I can see where a mechanical keyboard would be much better.
 
I would like to add the mechanichal keyboard I bought was mighty tough, I was playing diablo 2 with nothing but junk spawns and constant lag, and I punched the living crap out of my keyboard, As hard as I hit it most keyboards would snap in half. My brother who is living here jobless and rent free was tasked with fixing it after 2 keys stopped working. The end result was I dented the frame enough the switches did not contact, he bent it back and everything works again.

Moral of the story mechanical keyboards stand up to being physichally punched by a pissed off and drunk 240 pound man, so yeah they is tough.
 
Nope. Too noisy. I need to have silence when I write.

I have what amounts to the old mechanical 104 Key IBM keyboard, same as back in the IBM AT days, complete with the big border above the function key row for all the little desktop knick knacks that just have to be there.
