Trialling a new mechanical keyboard

[hutch--]

From a local company in Melbourne, Kogan, I picked up 2 mechanical keyboards to test out. I used them during the 1990s and have never really like the conventional membraine keyboards as I tend to get a lot of typos with them.Plugged one into my normal box and this thing lit up like a Christmas tree with pulsating colour changing lighting so I had to actually read an instruction leaflet, copy data from a link and save it in a text file. I found a key combination that turned the nonsense off and now I have a backlit keyboard with illuminated letters in white text on black.

Apart from looking strange, it seems to work OK and the tactile feedback is good, I am not typing up to speed yet but with decent tactile feedback and noisy microswitches, I should be able to get the level of typos down at last.

I picked them up for $25.00 AUD each.
