In case anyone is wondering about the keyboard prices, i looked through the list and also looked up the unavailable ones on the Internet. Here's their current prices at a glance, in USD: Keyboard Latency Connection Price (USD) chinfai silicone 35 USB FS 17 genius luxemate i200 55 USB 21 logitech k360 60 unifying 25 logitech k120 30 USB 29 easterntimes i500 50 USB FS 31 razer ornata chroma 35 USB FS 59 MS comfort 5000 40 wireless 71 kinesis freestyle 2 30 USB FS 89 apple magic (usb) 15 USB FS 99 das 3 25 USB 101 unicomp model M 30 USB FS 104 hhkb lite 2 20 USB FS 112 pok3r vortex 30 USB FS 129 filco majestouch 30 USB 129 topre type heaven 55 USB FS 149 olkb planck rev 4 40 USB FS 169 kinesis advantage 50 USB FS 319 ergodox 40 USB FS 354 MS natural 4000 20 USB 399 Personally, i have a Logitech K120 at home as a backup keyboard, and as far as membrane keyboards go, it's a solid and affordable choice. I'm not sure whether it's regional differences or something else, but i got my keyboard for about 10-15 euros. I guess the fact that it's extremely "boring" also adds to the charm, at least when compared to designs like Logitech K360. Also, i wish i could vouch for the Unicomp Model M keyboards, however shipping one to Europe would almost cost me as much as the keyboard itself and i'm currently not sure i can exactly afford to splurge like that. Regardless, have a look at their site, they're essentially carrying on with the legacy of IBM Model M keyboards in a way: https://www.pckeyboard.com/ https://www.pckeyboard.com/ From what i've seen while occasionally visiting their site, they also seem to introduce some new varieties occasionally. From what i've heard, those keyboards aren't exactly ideal for gaming (a regular mechanical keyboard might be better there), but are really good for typing because of their buckling spring design. LinusTechTips also had a video on the Model M keyboards a while ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7wmMZmMinM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7wmMZmMinM

I second the K120. I switched to it from my Das Keyboard Pro 4 after I got fed up maintaining it. The 3 key rollover is not ideal though, but otherwise I think it's solid - light to the touch, sturdy build, unassuming design, nothing weird going on with the layout.

  >nothing weird going on with the layout The Esc key is shifted to the right compared to a standard layout. (Same for the F-keys, to a lesser extent.) If you're used to the standard Esc position it can be slightly annoying.

    Oh yeah you're right, I haven't noticed. I wonder why they did this.

I use the K120 and when I bought first bought it a few years ago it was $12. I just bought another one and found it combined with a mouse (listed as "MK120" but really the same keyboard) for $15.
