As a programmer I care a lot about my keyboard... My priorities are a bit different though... I don't care about knobs, backlights or extra buttons... I just want a keyboard that feels well... The best one I've had so far is Das Keyboard. Very high quality, types very well. I chose the blank keys just to be cool...

Well, that looks cool and all, but $130?  For a basic keyboard?  That seems...extreme.

I take it you'll pass on the $999 alternate model?

So ain, how does it hold up to the everyday dirt and grime that's bound to get in it? Does it clean easily/well?

It's a great keyboard, I love it, it holds up quite well because there is enough space between the keys and the board. It cleans quite easily as well because all the keys are easily detachable.

It's build like the old IBM model M but more responsive... Very good craftmanship.

It's got Cool in the name, what more do you need to know.

I just picked up a G15 today, seems pretty slick. I kinda feel like a Starfleet Navigation Officer but that might just be the bald fellow sitting behind me.

Am I right in thinking that to make any use of the LCD screen would mean installing Logitech's "50MB for a keyboard driver? You must be shitting me! No seriously" bloated package of doom?

It's 50MB? :o

Ooooooh shiny.  I love small form factor keyboards with laptop style keys.  If only it had some media keys on it...

Also, if I recall, laser keyboards can only register a single key press at a time ;P

Ah yes, good old Model M, one of the most awesome keyboards ever created and the das is based on the same tech...

It seems kinda dumb to have individual screens on all the keys, but I don't see anything actually bad about it.

It's probably cool if you don't know what keys are what. But it's a bit superfluous if you know how to type.

[copulatingduck]

That's what I've been using for a while now ever since my keyboard died. And yes that's AT by default. >_<
