I'm from the old state of mind. Meaning I love buckling spring keyboards.In the early days of game playing like the old SWG. one could pound the heck out of those keys not have to worry. then I broke my hand working on the house. and went to a split keyboard. took a while but got use to it. then Microsoft stopped making the one I used. so on the advice of a pal i bought a reclusa gaming board. wow does it stink. the back light is nice but the rest of it stinks. why on earth can they not make a good buckling spring split keyboard.heck why can't they go back to making them in some form.I know most folks like silent keys. but there are some of us who still liked the old IBM keyboards. when you typed it sang out to you, there was no mistakes you knew when you hit the keys.

So now I'm looking for a new board sort of caught between a Logitech G19 or some sort of split. Grr ok thanks I had my morning rant.

In the end everything will be OK. If it's not OK then it's not the end.

This isn't exactly what it sounds like you're looking for, but it may help a little until you do find an older keyboard. At least you can get the sound anyway.
