Hardware, Embedded Systems How does the Alpha Geek establish dominance over the other techies in the herd? With a self-consciously old fashioned, expensive, and fussy computer accessory, of course! We take a look at the Das keyboard and see if it's that much better than the mushy crap keyboard that came bundled with your Dell.

I have somewhat of a keyboard fetish and work at a second hand store where a lot of keyboards ends up. I usually buy and try out the interesting ones.

I own a couple of clicky boards, including a Model M but the one I have settled on happens to be a Dell. Nice in several ways, ordinary key placement, quiet, comfortable, keys feel good.

The Model M feels too big for me, takes up a lot of space and the keys feel too big and far apart. And it's ugly as hell ;) But I use it from time to time just for fun ;)
