There are so many sexy ones here.





I'm currently emailing the guy about the price. They're going to be expensive.

Best part bout these? Model M's. I am in shock...so much shock...

They certainly look amazing, but do they type as well as they look?

As for an amazing keyboard :


The optimus OLED keyboard!

Supposedly a keyboard where every key is an OLED screen, so you could give
every key a special function if nescessary.

I've seen the Optimus, I am not impressed.

Well, they're Model M's, so they're the best typing Keyboards ever produced, just with cool configs.

If I was rich, I'd get one for me and all my friends. Plenty of unique stuff.

They're like 1200-1500, while Optimus is 2500$ and a giimmick. These Steampunk ones are Artworks really.

It looks nice and flashy but i don't think i'll ever buy something like that. It's just a keyboard for crying out loud. :)
Well, maybe if i were very rich.

buying such an expensive keyboard if u were instead of giving this money as a charity is a lack of priorities, imo. after u could do with a nonflashy high quality keyboard

Of course. Considering you're filthy rich, first priority is:try to help others (foundations and stuff).
You can buy tons of keyboards after that. ^_^

Yeah, you're rich, you can do both.

Like I said, if I was rich, I'd buy one of these. They just are very unique, they'd give me an entirely different feel for the computer.

It is a Model M Harsens. It's a newer Model M, basically, made recently, but built on the same principle.

For example, I have Compaq OEM Keyboard and it's a Model M, it has a Windows key, it's just not an original Model M.

Hars, if you are in need of money...you could have just said so. Nobody should be forced to work with such an old keyboard.

Really? Is it incredibly loud and does it feel like they build in a brick?

Yeah, it's so loud you can hear it from two rooms over.

Dude, I dropped it down the stairs and soaked it in water over night. IT STILL WORKS.(Well, I have a 5 pack of them, so I just did it for fun, but yeah!)

Special Spring & all. :p

My model M is battledamaged. It still works, but I wouldn't want to use it, you have to exert a lot of force to push down on the space key.

This is my keyboard - http://www.daskeyboard.com/

It makes a nice clicking sound when you type, its addicting. Plus it has two USB ports on the side, which is incredibly useful
