Goddamn, some of those keyboards are epic.
I want them.
At some point I have to figure out a way to walk off with that random black IBM keyboard at the back of the classroom. It easily the best non-flat keyboard I've ever felt. It has that retarded arrow key setup like the black Microsoft keyboards, but this thing feels so awesome I could look past that.
God, what is the deal with IBM/Lenovo and awesome keyboards?

IBM invented PS/2.

The PS/2 interface was handy at the time, but is now absolutely worthless. Their keyboards own so much though. The G15 is mediocre to type on, the Apple Pro Keyboard is worn out, the HP keyboard was lame to begin with, and all the other ones I have are old and garbage.

The HP is good to type on.

The HP keyboard has retarded edges. Jesus Christ, you could cut yourself on those keys.

When comparing my Compaq (PS/2 and low profile) and Saitek Eclipse II (USB and huge) keyboards, I must say that I prefer my Compaq keyboard over the Saitek. The low profile keys allow me to type faster and more accurate than my huge Saitek and it's compact and easily portable. Not to mention that my timing is better whenever I buttonmash FFR and/or StepMania. The Saitek's enlarged keys adjusts my timing, making me hit the arrows earlier and that the key response is faster. The only thing I love about my Saitek would be the three interchangable backlighting and the media keys in the top right corner. And the handrest, although plastic, makes typing more comfortable with the addition of "softer" feeling keys. Here are the three backlight settings that Kuldeep has taken with his camera. BlueRedPurple Dual Keyboard setup, FTW. |

Those pictures are awful.
I like both classic keyboards and low-profile ones for various reasons, but they must be of a certain standard to avoid being tossed into a keyboard swordfight with Curtis. The G15 is alright, but nothing amazing. A lot of flat keyboards are also awful. The only good ones I've found are ones by Lenovo and Apple (exluding the Macbook Pro, which is pretty average).

Those pictures are before I knew what a macro was.
Patrick also fails because he doesn't have a tripod (lol)

Why the hell would I have a tripod when I don't even own a digital camera? It's your own fault for not bringing one when you rode your bike to my house that day. Also, the arrow keys on my Saitek are worn out. Especially the left arrow key, since it's pretty much completely transparent now. Low profile USB keyboards I would like to get my hands on are the Razer Lycosa and the Razer Tarantula. |

The Razer Lycosa is pretty damn sexy, although the non-removable wrist rest would piss me off to no end. Rubber keys do sound promising though.

Also, I really hate auto-focus. With Light  And Without Light  |

I like the low-light picture you took. The 5 key is the only one focused, and it's the only one with no other writing on it.
What a fucking loner.

Yeah. Too bad auto-focus fails and refused to focus on the 5 in the lit shot.
