Got my "new" keyboard in the mail today - GoFuckYourself.com

camperjohn64 · 04-14-2011, 07:57 AM

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.

CaptainHowdy · 04-14-2011, 08:00 AM

My fingers hurt just by looking at it ...

Godsmack · 04-14-2011, 08:08 AM

Oh and the noise they make !

BareBacked · 04-14-2011, 08:16 AM

thats OG

BFT3K · 04-14-2011, 09:14 AM

I mount old keyboards and computer boards onto one of my walls...

alias · 04-14-2011, 09:17 AM

That's cool BFT3K.

Rochard · 04-14-2011, 09:26 AM

That is kind of cool really...

Intrinsic · 04-14-2011, 09:27 AM

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

iSpyCams · 04-14-2011, 02:26 PM

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.

Frank21 · 04-14-2011, 03:57 PM

the old things are way better, i bought a brand new 110 dollar illimunated keybord last month and after not even 48 hours it was broken after only a litle cumspil in it.

What is it? I need a new keyboard, preferably one with back lit keys and no noise.

Overload · 04-14-2011, 05:06 PM

lol, i am still using my very first keyboard ... it has taken a lot of punishment and still works like a charm ... i washed it dozens of times and played pinball hrs upon hrs ... newer ones cant take a punch and dont survive for long (thats why i always have two or more to cycle - when my oldie is dirty enuff for a washing i use a new one while the old one dries ;)

Zorgman · 04-14-2011, 05:09 PM

Chaze, it's a Apple keyboard

I actually bought one of those but took it back. 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 actually installed a ps2 card:

The ps2/USB adapters didnt have enough power to power the old keyboard and it would constantly power-down. remember the old keyboards have little cpu's in them to communicate with the main computer.

I don't like the letters but unless I am coding I don't look at the keys much. 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.

Working on getting a Das Keyboard. Those are badass but they backordered from my normal parts place so I have to wait. Does the seller you got your KB from have lots of them? If so, mind sharing?

John-ACWM · 04-15-2011, 09:08 AM

Nice, enjoy it

fatfoo · 04-15-2011, 09:11 AM

Congratulations on getting a keyboard that is in good condition. The white and gray colors of the keyboard are pleasant.

I purchased a Das Keyboard a few years ago but sent it back. 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.

Tom_PM · 04-15-2011, 11:42 AM

Those keyboards really made you feel like you were launching rockets when you typed. ShtunkCLICKwooshhhhh

Well ok, not that much.. but close dammit.

chaze · 04-15-2011, 09:38 PM

I'm inspired, looking at this one no:

It just sucks buying anew one when my old one works perfectly, it's just loud and not cool like yours.

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.

Jeremiasz · 04-16-2011, 06:58 PM

clicky keyboards were the best

i had one in 1994
