My Fancy Keyboard 2018-06-23

I like old keyboards. I like keyboards that do not have Windows keys. I like shit that works and doesn't need gimmicks to sell itself. For a while now I have been using old keyboards... well, old hardware generally really. My old keyboards don't look cool, don't light up ('cept maybe that NumLock LED), and don't suck.

Yes, this is an actual photo of my keyboard.

Until recently I was using an old Compaq keyboard that got hit in the ground when I lost my temper myself. There are still signs of its existence, but it is clear that is no longer a keyboard. The new keyboard is great, but I would really like to have a backup in case this one has an accident one day. The trouble is, it doesn't seem to be so easy to find a solid keyboard at a price that doesn't suck.

I wish there was a place around here where folks could go get old school hardware. :-(
