Clicky Keyboards!

Amazing how popular these things are still.

I actually like the feel of them having learned to type with something called a typewriter. An old Olympia manual. :Q

Unfortunately I cannot use one most of the time because the noise would be bothersome and there's no way I could type this right now on one. :laugh:

I have an old IBM one kicking around somewhere..

I'm still sitting on an old Dell "clicky" board that I inherited from a data center about 10 years ago. I lug it around to LAN parties because it's handled 10 years of abuse, beer spills and dorito bits like a champ.

It takes a lick' and keeps on click'n.

The closest modern model is the Keytronics 3600/3601. Not near as "clicky", but it definately has a very close feel. I use them at home (typing on one now) and at work. Great basic, no frills keyboards.

I agree 100%. The Keytronic units have superb tactile feedback without the clatter. 😀

I had one of those too. It finally died a few years ago. 🙁
