Even though apparently no one likes the Das boards that much, I love mine.. the cherry switches are wonderful, and other than the normal typos that come with switching from typing on low-profile membrane keyboards for 5 years, I haven't had any controller issues even when typing around 100-110~wpm. I might be lucky though and somehow got my hands on the only decent Das out there. *shrugs*

Personally, I've never needed more than 3 keys at a time...so I don't think I' have much trouble with one of those either.

Blues are great! The das however has a lot of issues with it.
A filco with blues would be much better.

How good is the Scorpius M10?

Edit:
I found a review, and it uses the Cherry Blue switches.

It would be easy just to get another Model M, but I need a keyboard with 'Windows' keys to function as 'Command' keys, because I have a Mac at work.

The M10 does have some build issues too. Its best to have a look on geekhack for some more info.
However it does not have the rollover issue.
I think it was more about badly soldered PCBs with the M10.
The price and availability might make it worth a look though.
Personally I would go for a Cherry G80 3000 with blues. If you dont mind having a full size board and PCB mounted switches rather than plate then they are hard to beat.

I ordered the M10, so I'll see how good it is when I get it.

Well that Model M I ordered just arrived . You can tell it hasn't been used at all





And for those that have never used one before, here's a keycap and an entire key removed:

Do any of you know if wireless mechanical keyboards are in production and where I could get one if they are?

Well I just found out that there is a brand new distributor for Filco keyboards here in the states, as of less than a month ago. Currently he only carries the models with browns and blacks, with or without n-key rollover, but he is looking for anyone with interest in a model with Cherry blues, which Filco doesn't even offer but would custom make for him if there's enough people who want them.
