Luckily they were the medium sized control/alt type keys, which i can do without, but it looks so ugly with 2 blue switches on the surface.

 

Let's hope it rains like a mofo tomorrow so I can open the bag of dust and find my keys.

You're supposed to use compressed air. and not a vacuum. lol

On a side note, does anyone know how i can restore that new-keyboard-feeling coating on the keys? I really liked that feeling but after the multiple cleanings, it's gone =\

Same mousepad
 

Black Mac Wireless keyboard...I hated the white keys so I bought a replacement unibody Macbook keyboard and transplanted them.

Das Keyboard III Ultimate. Filcos look cooler but it's technically all the same because I'd get one with blue cherries, so there's no real reason for upgrading. Oh wait, since when people here need a reason for upgrading?

Does the Das III give you any issues on boot (not being recognized)? The Das 2 was notorious for this (some problem with the design of the internal USB hub/controller). It was so bad I had to return my Das II even though it was an awesome board.

Never experienced what you described but I feel the USB hub is a bit screwy on this model too; the hub works fine but I'm having occasional problems with device detection when I plug devices directly to my motherboard's slots.

Then there's also the infamous n-key rollover bug but I don't think it's that big of a deal, unless you type 90+ wpm.

It's the best board I've ever owned even with the problems it has.

Razer Lycosa. Slim keycaps with a rubberized finish and the keys go completely black when the lighting is turned off. Looks awesome and confuses plebeians. Wish it had a few more features but I like the action enough that it makes up for it.

I have a Filco Tenkeyless Otaku with the Cherry Blues. Awesome keyboard.

I rock an IBM Model M. ;D

I'd love to try out some more modern keyboards with real mechanical switches though. I find the keys on the Model M to be just a tad heavy, and no rollover means it's completely useless for gaming.

Das boot. LOL I just can't help it after having seen both being said in the same sentence.
