I use this mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Switches, it is a full keyboard with additional Macro keys (which I use extensively) and every key can have its own light and own macro with switchable profiles and more and it works perfectly, better than any other ‘advanced’ keyboard that I’ve tried with Linux: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/landing/k95-rgb

Mine is a Spanish Filco Majestouch-2, Tenkeyless, NKR, Tactile Action with Cherry MX Brown (spanish layout has not other options) and without numerical keys. Y really hate that part of keyboard, I never used it.
And in garage I have a IBM Model M keyboard, with those lovely buckling spring.

Unicomp 122-key Model M.
I also have a WASD CODE w/ MX Greens, which I use when I need to setup a temporary desktop or some other situation where I’m away from my main desktop and have the ability to settle in somewhere.

I have I think one of the first Corsair mechanical keyboards Vengeance K90 (Cherry MX Red mechanical key switches).
It works till now. So quality / durability is perfect

I’m currently using a Happy Hacking Keyboard. I love the Topre Electrostatic Capacitive Key Switches.

I’ve never been able to stand one of those split keyboards. When I type my hands fly all over, exceeding 120wpm back in school with no errors. Although my hands rest in the ‘home position’, once I start typing my fingers go to where-ever they are expected to go based on distance, regardless of their order, then I just make sure to control the order and continue moving. Those split keyboards slow me *way*the*heck*down*! I’m not sure how anyone could really stand using them.
Thus I’m curious, what benefit do they bring you? I’ve never heard anyone describe what its use actually is?

I can’t speak for @mkunikow, but I use the same keyboard and it helps with wrist pain.

I don’t have any wrist pains etc. so all I need from keyboard is just few things: low key profile (like laptop keyboard), backslash somewhere near the ENTER key, left CTRL on far left (hate it when far left is FN key on some laptops), keys with backlight (really helps, when you want to write something with just one hand in the dark)
