    I have an Omnikey, but I never use it because the keys have stiction issues. I use my Dell AT-101 now after my Model F died.

    That's sadly common with SKCM Alps switches. You can clean them out, but it suuuucks to do a full keyboard of them.

      Isn't it super heavy as it contains a metal core? Or else it's another one from the same era.

      I don't know but I guess Packard Bell is way too modern to have heavy stuff inside.

        It goes clicky click in a nice way. It feels solid, my other keyboards are shitty dollar tree ones which have RGB for some reason.

        That’s an excellent reason. Thanks for sharing.

          How do you connect it to your computer? I have a big old keyboard but it's from before there were PS2 ports so I don't know what to do with it.

          Well, you could get this to go to PS/2: https://www.cableleader.com/6-din5-female-to-mini-din6-male-at-to-ps-2-keyboard-adapter-cable.html

          Then this to get from PS/2 to USB if you need to: https://www.cableleader.com/usb-type-a-male-to-ps2-6-pin-female-converter-for-logitech.html

                        Me too! I’d get a new mechanical keyboard but they start asking if I want red, brown, blue or beige switches and I’m like “I dunno what that is!”. Also they cost a tonne and my Dell came free with a tower PC.

                          Still has a windows key. Microsoft must have made some crazy OEM deal with keyboard manufacturers.

                            My newest computer (custom mini-ITX with an AMD 5700X3D, 64 GB RAM, Radeon 9070XT, 4 TB NVME, etc.) is still compatible with the keyboard from my first computer (a Tandy 1000 RLX HD with an Intel 80286, 1 MB RAM, VGA graphics, 20 MB HDD). Manufactured three decades apart, but they both have PS/2 ports!

                            I still have that Tandy keyboard; I should dust it off and plug it in.

                                I have two of its older siblings. Both having an older design, one US layout with the bigass enter key and no winkeys, one HU ISO layout with winkeys.

                                    Nah, fuck that shape. Look what they did to my boy Right Shift. I'm glad L-shaped Enter keys died out in the mid 90s.

                                      The early naughts were a little more aesthetic.

                                          Everything does honestly. I have unmedicated adhd I think. Been meaning to take some wipes to it.
