    What kind of keyboard do you use?

    Totally curious what type of keyboard everyone uses... I've used the white Microsoft Natural ergonomic keyboard for about 12 years now, and I've gone through maybe three or four of them over the years. Not that they wear out, but most die due to spilled coffee or soda :-/

    So what does everyone else use? Anyone use an old-school Model-M keyboard? What about a totally off the wall style of keyboard? And anyone use Dvorak style?

    I use a "budget" USB keyboard from a well known (in NZ and Australia) electronics retailer whose name gets mangled by the forum's word filter. (I think http://dse.co.nz still works as a link.)

    I use MSEK 4000. that's my 4th keyboard- they die because of coffee (no, i'm not proud of it).
    If I'd have a money, I'd buy Kinesis Ergonomic Pro with blue cherry switches (i'd have to wait for that)!

    Usually whatever came with the computer. If I have to replace one, I choose something that feels right when I type, compatible with the computer, and not expensive. With replacement laptop keyboards, there are a lot of options. I also check the laptop keyboard replacement supplier customer reviews.
    Use whatever OS or desktop works for you. Dual boot or use VMs if you want. Backup your computer regularly, and definitely before upgrading, partitioning, or installing an OS.

    No support requests by PM please.
