Looking for High Quality Clicker Keyboards

[rdesear]

I am looking for a source to buy some keyboards. I like the old style clicker but I like the Windows Key. I have an NMB RT8256CW+ which is perfect. It has 104 keys, the windows key, and is PS2. Any other options out there as well as a source?

I like the burst spring technology which gives me the clicker action I so need, , ,

Thanks

Ryan

If you can find it, you'd probably like the Focus 2001. I'm a piano player and a touch typist, and I love mine.

They're hard to find, but you might be able to Google for them.

< update >

I found it here. They're asking $39, each, and they have 51 in stock. This may have been discontinued so if you like it, you may want to get a few.

This is a great keyboard. I got mine from newegg for $18 but they have not been available there for a long time. I guess, considering availablity, $39 isn't bad.

I'm using a focus 2001 myself, my only complaint is I can't clean the thing, I bought 3 of them at newegg and so far I have one of them left.

Whenever I've tried pulling the keycaps off the plastic rips off and gets stuck in the button.

I'm interested in trying the unicomp customizer 104 But at $59 it's far from cheap, if it holds up as well as the original model m's it'd be worth it.

i remember the old school ibm's (circa late 80's/ early 90s) i had came with these super tactile keyboards. def. were spring loaded. dont know if the current IBM keyboards are like that at anymore.

You can get that type of keyboard here PCKeyboard as well. I also noticed at the Focus web site that the FK-6200/7200 (6200 is plain, 7200 has a trackball at the midpoint of the space bar) have a "click-tactile" switch that may have an acceptable feel for you. The nice thing is that I found a place using froogle.google.com that sells them for $15. - cheap enough to buy one just to try...
.bh.

There's the :sun: !


And, BTW: Harvey, kindly reserve your political inanities for the P&amp;N section... :roll:

Now I'm sad that I (in frustration) destroyed my FK-2001 model, and sold/gave away two other "clicky" Focus-brand keyboards. Oh well.
I have two of the IBM Trackpoint II keyboards in black that I like a lot. They are basically just like the old Model "M", but with that little trackpoint widget from IBM Thinkpad laptops. Very handy. It also has a PS/2 mouse pass-through port, to use a regular mouse in addtion. The pass-through is done in software in the keyboard controller though, and it doesn't appear to pass the data for the scroll wheel on mice though.
