If you recently built a system like mine, you will be like the sculptor Pygmalion in his narcissism. My Skylake is like the statue Galatea, and I have brought her to life! She's A-L-I-I-VE! A-LIVE! Igor! Throw the switch! The Bride of Frankenstein is ready to test -- in all her virgin wonderfulness on Prima Nocta! Plug in the USB Vac-u-Jack! Do it -- Now, Igor! Bzzzz-zzzz-ttt! Ah-ahhhhh! Shangri La-a-ah!!
So one is tempted to buy "hot gear" and indulge oneself further.
Here is my "current status" which may be worthy of comment by itself.
I have a "keyboard collection." A "Dynex" USB kybd; a $12 Staples-brand keyboard also USB; a Microsoft ergonomic extravaganza keyboard PS/2 and USB adapter; and a Logitech "Office Pro" PS/2 and USB adapter.
Perhaps I favor the Logitech. I currently have the Staples plugged in to the regular port of my KVM, but I discovered I can connect the PS2-USB-enabled units to the USB3 port of the KVM to the same end and result -- thus, two keyboards for each and every one of three systems.
Ironically, the MS keyboard doesn't lend itself to gaming. But all the others seem fine. The $12 Staples seems fine. I no longer have the dropouts and irregularities I'd noted previously with the PS/2-to-USB cables. I think I paid $4 for the Microsoft "wave-hump," $16 for the Logitech -- the Dynex was recycled from a long-dead system, and $12 for the Staples as I said.
I had my eye on something like this:
Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition
But there are hints of defects in the customer-reviews.
Do I NEED another keyboard?! Should I bother GETTING another keyboard? What should I DO!? After that, I was thinking about a new mouse to replace the Dynex optical/USB. All of this cheap shit works great.
