Most geeks don't look at their keyboards.

Thanks for the link! I'd always just called them "clicky keyboards" and wondered why you could never find them anymore...

Just don't spill water on them. I destroyed my last one with a wayward cup of water and have been using a crap logitech one since.

I love mine. I just wish I could have a cut of the purchases from my referrals.

[tlrobinson → simianstyle]

Badass.

Not sure I want to spend $80 though. I wonder if I can bleach the markings from an old keyboard or something.

[jrockway → tlrobinson]

Just get an old Model M from ebay, and remove the keycaps with characters. You do have to get an oldish one, though, the newer Model Ms don't have two keycaps.

And ZERO geeks look at their keyboards while playing games (gamers being the probable target audience for this).
