Props for the precision also accuracy of this quandary which I express as, the Search for an Original IBM-grade Keyboard: with its unerring 'feel of completion-of-stroke' at price of bulk and alas, absence of such now-universal fucction key-assignment
I have an annoying Logi- K-811 (the '10' but aimed at OS X) which does many things seamlessy BUT, while there is a weak over-center-toggle: it does-Not correspond with success!--actual keystroke-landed, unless hit rather hard for this One's expectations: thus multiplying My?/Their? fucking-Typos unto distraction. In other words, there's no 'flow' twixt one's stuff to be entered and ... that one-finger-typing process wherein each key is hit as-if it were rilly-dumb. And who can type well ..That way?
I can stand a bigger gadget, but it must indeed have the (in this case: even room-light aware) key illumination; I too would pay-for Color-assigned keys like the bloody caps-lock-in-Red: I just disabled its function--it is so maddeningly adjacent to several popular keys; w.t.f. Needs to regularly do ALL-CAPS? (except Mad-men).
I'd put up with the pukka, clean IBM /noise were it capable of retro-fitting--short of soldering-up boards to emulate what's missing re Function assets--but that would be a job for still-around? BYTE-creative types, not moi. If I'm missing perhaps.. some KB you've encountered which handles what the K-811 does OK, I'm all ears. I'm about to make-room for the pair, expanding desk-part of my otherwise nicely-small Station == iMac ancillaries.
Blu-tooth 811 means: handiest would be a sturdy-support floating just above/behind the IBM. (No, a hovering robo-copter is just too noisy).
No reply needed unless there's something out there I missed, but you didn't. :-)
