mention keys in dumb places?

I keep hitting left-ctrl when i want left-shift for starters :| Plus it's super lightweight key-pressure quietkey crap, the Fsck-lock drives me insane, and did i mention the keys have been moved to stupid places? :|

Buckling Spring, properly weighted and placed keys>j00 :cool:

But i think the noise would get me strung up within the week :( Whaddya reckon?

I love my IBM Model 'M' but it is semi-retired due to the noise pissing off my girlfriend.

My wife made me retire mine. :(

I keep it around though... I can't bear to part with it. :)

You were both clearly not true fans then :|

There isn't a keyboard out there that comes close to weighting the keys nearly as well :(

Add to that it's utter indestructibility, perfect key placement, and rugged good looks, and you've got a timeless classic :cool:
