Re: [tlug] Keyboards

[Joshua@example.com]

I've seen some very nice displays of keyboards in the DOS/V sections of 
Yodobashi and Bic Camera - they were all on a long shelf out of the box so 
you could type on them and get a feel for the keyboard.  Usually there are 
a couple US layouts. 

I actually use an old IBM PS/2 (model no. kb 9930) that I scavenged from 
my office.  It makes delightful clicking noises and has the most robust 
springs I've ever had the pleasure of depressing.  It has a few extraneous 
button's including seven coloured, low-profile switches along the top that 
are apparently programmable ... Oh!  ... I see the white one puts my 
notebook in standby.  I think I wont press any others for the time being.

Good luck!

Not exactly Linux related, but...

I need a new keyboard, because this one is a bit cheap, and the key
movement's now gone a bit sticky when you don't hit a key dead on the top.

I want one that hasn't got an excess of 'web' buttons that I don't need. 
USB preferred.  So:

- Has anyone had a keyboard that they particularly liked?

- Is it possible to get a US (or better still UK) layout keyboard around
here?
