Any other advice rather than QFP? LED black-light is not necessary .

Just went out to buy paper, the keyboard at the register was a Model M (I think) and I heard the cashier call it stupid. mad.gif

Well, there is the Rosewell. Its a nice cheep simple 104 layout. But try the TK again. It does have 10 key, jut shared with the arrows. I think it will feel more like my iRocks than a true 10key-less, like the QFR.

Should've been like - "Yes, that is a stupid keyboard isn't, being all sentient and that. Then suggest that you could replace it with a much nicer and newer MICROSOFT keyboard, and that you should destroy the model m for being bad."

I was tempted to hit her with it but I didn't want to kill her. tongue.gif

I should go back and offer a £5 Dell keyboard as a trade.

It was most likely a IBM ANPOS rubber dome keyboard.

Looked identical to a Model M and sounded mechanical though.

If you want to play it safe, go with browns or reds for gaming. Gives blues a try if you feel adventurous. You won't be disappointed by any of them.

Thanks, ended up going with browns. I'm sure I'll be pleased with the board.

Now if I can just find a solid mouse!
