New Keyboard With Good Key Feel

[AndeeG]

I just recently ordered parts for a new computer but have yet to buy a new keyboard. My primary concern is good key feel - not too stiff/mushy etc. I don't need it to be wireless or have any sort of back lighting. I think I remember trying an eclipse and the keys were weird - it seemed like it would be hard to push the same button twice as there wasn't much recoil. It's hard to explain but maybe that was a different keyboard, i'll probably try it again. I've heard that the logitech Ultra X uses laptop style keys which is interesting. Is this just like a laptop or more of a mix between that and classic pc keys?

Best feeling keyboard I have ever used. Keys have a "solid mush" feel...odd, I know, but the keys don't just slop down, they're solid without being firm. Think...softer then a mechanical KB but just a bare bit of mush. Its my current KB and if anything ever happened to it I'd buy a new one of the same kind in a second.

Isn't that the really classic clicky style keyboard? When i said classic, i meant regular, as in the keyboard that came with my dell.

Yep. Love those things.

You might want to look into Unicomp. They own the tech used in those old IBMs. I have one of their keyboards and fell in love instantly.
