A /good/ keyboard is not cheap.<br/>... on the other hand, most of them last for years, so it evens out. I'm still abusing mine, and I've had it for a few years now. The one it replaced probably only really needs to be cleaned.... and I had that one for a long time, too. I like the physical switches, even if they do make everything sound like angry typing all the time... ^^;<br/><br/>I need to make myself a note about what Ailis has managed to retain (not the ER laser or all of the heat sinks) and what was lost when she got her hands on that motivated scrap heap she pilots... slightly less of a motivated scrap heap now, admittedly.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
