Which type of keyboard do you use?

[slicksilver]

I love my four year old mechanical touch keyboard...........its my favorite component in my system..........I did try the membrane ones and didn't like them at all.........you dont get that clicky sound when you key in......moreover I think I can type faster on mechanical one........so what kind of keyboard do you guys use?.......and share your reasons

im pretty sure my ms natural elite is a mechanical since there are little springs in there and its noisy. I used to use a compaq membrane one on my first computer for a long time, and well that wasnt all that bad either. and i'm used to the really shallow ones on laptops. i guess its a tradeoff between quiet and responsiveness.

You have a link to the two differences? for my curiosity. First time I've heard those words applied to keyboards or anything else.

Happy with my Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro because I like the feel to the keys and I'm probably one of the few that actually use all the short cut buttons and the 2 port USB hub.

The best I ever used was a Northgate Omnikey 102. A few are areound - and they are being rebadged and sold as "Avant." They run about $189 a pop. Available here:

Original IBM Model M...best damn keyboard I've ever used, and got it used at a flea market for really cheap too!

Hmmmm.... I don't really know how to describe this, but I like keyboards that drop resistance once you've pushed the key down far enough to register it. It gives me a tactile confirmation I like. The best keyboard I've stumbled across is one that came from an original DEC ALPHA PC. It's many years old now and I'll miss it when it finally dies.

I love my Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro with the Media and internet control keys on top.
