As for the Unicomp models, I recommend them highly. I've one set up like the old Sun keyboards for *nix use. I had used the original IBM Model M's and the Customizers are as close as it gets to the genuine article.
I'm very much a fan of buckling spring, positive keyclick switches with the famous tactile feedback. There is absolutely no uncertainty that a key has been engaged and one of the effects is that you don't use as much pressure or resort to the temptation to mash keys; it could help prevent RSI. If you're a touch typist they are fantastic.
The only real downside to me is the noise they make; it's fine if you're in your own office but in an open workspace I doubt your colleagues will appreciate the noise-- in heavy coding mode they sound a bit like warfare.
- dlevine 15y agoI have a Unicomp Spacesaver that I've been using for the past several months. I love it, and the RSI I had from before I started using it seems to have diminished significantly (although I have changed a bunch of other variables). It is even hard to go back to the built-in keyboard on my 13" Macbook Pro (so mushy). People often comment that the Unicomp is loud, but no one has complained. More like "that's legit."
- aidenn0 15y agoI love my Unicomp. I have a cheap membrane keyboard though, for when the wife is trying to sleep.
