Hi!

This is a bit borderline but since I guess everybody is using a PC here (or a MAC...) you probably have a keyboard too...

I recently (less than a year) got a mechanical keyboard (Logitech G512 - liked the 512 number...) and it's been complicated. I initially offered one to my wife, she loved it and "forced" me to get one too.

I had to wash it dismantling the keys, putting them in soap and water, drying them, etc. I also bought a small hover to suck the potential dust creating problems (or ... something else). After less than a year both keyboards have been back under warranty, one because of the RGB lights breaking on some keys, the other one because of keys not working after a few hours of work (that's mine).

When having problems (like the space bar, C key, arrows, etc stop working) I eventually took other keyboards I already have, and then I really missed the 'typing quality' of the mechanical one.

I also appreciate that the Logitech keyboard do have Free Software projects allowing you to control each key and set up the lighting the way you want. You can even do (keyboard) games with those.

I however suffered all those (un)typing issues and am disappointed by the overall quality. 2 keyboards, 2 went back under warranty (1 replaced, 1... waiting for it).

So let's say I am hooked with the technology but...

Do you guys know of any keyboard with similar typing quality but with durability and eventually free software driving the RGB lighting? I can probably live without the RGB stuff as well ;-)

Oh .. I don't play games, just spend the whole day (and night?) behind (in front of?) my PC.

Thank you.

Fred

ps: numeric pad is a must
If you can find an IBM model M keyboard somewhere, you'll never look for another. They haven't been made in years, AFAIK, but I have three of them--two full sized and one without the numeric pad that I use with a laptop at home. The only drawback is that it's loud--I tried it at the office once when I was still working, and I had to take it back home. No lights, except  for
Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Sceoll Lock.
Good luck in your quest!  --doug
