Sorry, I prefer quiet keys. I'll never understand this recent fad for the old style loud as fuck keys. Yes, the old style keys last longer. I'm not fucking poor though. If I need to buy a new keyboard every 6 years I will. I've had a Gen 1 Logitech G15 for almost a decade now and it has lasted just fine anyways.

Well like me, the old rubber bubble type worked for a long time, and was great.
But my choice to start looking at mxblue was because as I get older, my fingers arent as agile and quick as before, or as sensitive on touch to know if I hit a key hard enough..but I still try to type at the speed I always did,the bubble keyboards give me no 'feedback' for when a key actually activates.
So i make a lot of typos, as they are a soft 'spongy' feeling I often times in my haste to type fast as I always have don't push it all the way down. (ie my fingers cant move over there, hit the key as far as needed and move to the next key like they use to)
I've noticed a HUGE difference typing on my server, since I got one of the old bucking IBM keyboards plugged into it to use, I dont make nearly as many mistakes, or missed letters or double letters on it. I get realtime feedback that I can subconsciously use to know the key 'took'. Only way I can explain it.

Horrible. Like Mchart, I do not understand the fascination with these horrible things. I understand DX' point of view, but I still don't understand it. Accidentally, I seem to type best on chicklit keyboards, but alas, no one would make one that is larger than a laptop size.
I looked at that one. Saw it in the store here locally, what got me thinking of getting a mechanical.
I didn't like it too much, it had too much of a hollow echoish sound to the keyboard itself. You heard more of the keys sound inside the keyboard like it was clicking inside a plastic box, than from the key.

Same. Logitech's Illuminated Keyboard has been serving me well for like 2 years now I think, now do a chiclet one Logitech
I still have my Logitech Wave at my parents place. Always need to adjust to it when I go there. I just like the clicky feel of a mechanical keyboard, no other real reason I use it. Somehow button presses feel more satisfying.
The lab is called: Lab exercises in modern physics...
The detector and the exercise is from 1993... modern xD
The data I acquired was saved on a diskette. At first I was like: dafuq. But then I saw DOS on it and I was like: I remember this from my childhood
As h_s said. But it's more: it's expensive as hell and we don't have any money Well, I get the detector part. The brown tank, and the tube that's attached to it (the high purity germanium detector) cost around $40k, and my university barely has for toilet paper, let alone a new detector setup
I'll take a picture of other museum worth stuff in there (that's not in use, but's still cool to see )...

Damn those are too loud!! I really like the sound and feel of my Filco MX browns, good compromise of click and touch. you can actually type quietly if you half press the keys, they are very good at that and very fast too.
Shit dingo, I threw 3 packets of x10 diskettes the other week. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have donated them and be called the most generous donor of your Uni's lifetime.

Have you tried a mechanical keyboard?
Yes but not extensively. It's a gimmick and the keys are harder to press. What is the point of that? The less force fingers need to press, the less strain there is on the hand. But I guess I ain't of teh coolz if I don't make 80s CLAANK every keystroke.
I use Microsoft Ergonomic at work, much better than the mechanical it replaced.
Leo you can get mechanical keyboard that doesnt need force when pressing ze buttons. MX red for example, feels much better than shitty rubberdome keyboard. Anyway i like that keyboard makes sounds, currently using MX blues Have also old IBM model M Got it from work, was brand new in sealed box
There is far less force needed to press buttons on my mechanical, than on any membrane keyboard I ever used. Maybe even too little as I'll sometimes press the buttons just by resting my fingers on them.

Sadly that might be true
But I have like 3 packages of old diskettes around here somewhere I don't have a diskette drive, or a DVD for that matter

This sounds reasonable, but I would still keep the ergonomic.
