    Got my "new" keyboard in the mail today

    A 1993 NEC clicky keyboard.

    I think it's brand new - the keys have NO wear on them, the rubber feet on the back are not even scratched and the cord is not stretched. The plastic is not discolored at all.

    $39 on ebay - What a deal to a keyboard-o-phile like me!

    You can see my old keyboard in the background. I've calculated that I've typed at least 1,000,000 keystrokes on that thing.

                              1 million clicks is not much, I'm sure if you've had it a couple years you are up to 5 million +

                              I use whatpulse.org to track my keystrokes

                                                  nice, but how do you connect it to a modern PC? Is there a such thing as a AT/usb adaptor?

                                                          Weird I was just thinking about this the other day. Back in like 2000 or so they had something called "Project Dolphin" which did the same thing, teams would compete or what-not. I have always typed so fucking much. Wish I had had this thing running since 05 so I could see my stats. I think ima signup.

I loved the key action, but the stylized letters and the fact that the f1-f8 keys were not in the same place bothered me - I wa always hitting the wrong f key since I never looked at them.

                                                                                                  I did love the illuminated thing though. maybe I could illuminate this new keyboard...hmmm....

I loved the key action, but the stylized letters and the fact that the f1-f8 keys were not in the same place bothered me - I wa always hitting the wrong f key since I never looked at them.

                                                                                                              I did love the illuminated thing though. maybe I could illuminate this new keyboard...hmmm....

I hate how the shift characters are gray and are below the normal characters. That fucks me up when I code sometimes but I am getting used to it.

The keys were really really hard to presss and required strength. After 2 hours of typing my finger muscles were actually sore. After a day my hands felt like I had gone to the gym and were all tight and cramped.

                                                                                                                          This is why I jumped on the NEC keyboard - clicky but very light touch.

                                                                                                                          The seller had only one of them. But the model number was NEC APC-H412 if you want to look again on ebay. The APC-H412 is the really light touch keyboard that I like.

The keys were really really hard to presss and required strength. After 2 hours of typing my finger muscles were actually sore. After a day my hands felt like I had gone to the gym and were all tight and cramped.

                                                                                                                                              This is why I jumped on the NEC keyboard - clicky but very light touch.

                                                                                                                                              The seller had only one of them. But the model number was NEC APC-H412 if you want to look again on ebay. The APC-H412 is the really light touch keyboard that I like.
                                                                                                                                              Yeah, you have to watch which switches you get. The first ones didn't use the cherry mx blue switches like the razer black widow and most others do these days.

                                                                                                                                              I'll keep my eyes peeled for one of those NECs. I'd love to have one of those or the original IBM model M.
