That sounds nice.
But, I an strictly a wireless keyboard man. I was hoping it was wireless and I would have instantly bought one. I broke the chair in my shack, leaning back in it too much. The plastic leg snapped, I went ass over tea kettle backwards while holding my keyboard. Now the right side shift key doesn't work, so I need a new keyboard. |

I am not familiar with any wireless mechanical keyboards. This thing weighs over two pounds so it isn't ment to be very portable.
The cherry MX clear switches are really nice. |

$170.00 for a keyboard that clicks?
Am I missing something here or is there some other compelling reason for one of these? Please explain? |

Usually build quality and features, some times just fanboy-ism. For the most part the average person will type faster and more accurately with a mechanical keyboard. |

I spend all day every typing. Das makes a quality high speed typing instrument. It's a pleasure to type on and I can type faster on it than a rubber dome keyboard. I also use a $1000 monitor

The $5.00 Chicom keyboards are what I usually buy when I need to replace a keyboard.
I can appreciate buying good stuff, but for me a $170 keyboard would be a poor investment. |

If you look around you can still find original mechanical keyboards at thrift/goodwill stores for $5 or less branded by IBM etc, many times still in a box or unused that came part of a large shipment. They normally don't last long before somebody flips them on ebay for good profit$. Just a quick glance 20-30 year old ones still in a box sell for between $400-$600.
