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 took it with me from job to job. Typing was a pleasure and I never got a pain in my wrists from it, and I loved the sound. Sadly, it stayed behind when I switched jobs last time because I couldn't muster the energy to go into that horrible place even just one more time.
And -- there was a problem connecting it: I had to use usb-ps2 adapters (and the ps2 plug was an add-on anyway), and that adaptor tended to miss that I had shift pressed. So I lost my selection a lot of times.
These days I just use whatever is on my laptop. My X61t is great, the old-style 17" macbook pro keyboard is okayish once you get over the lack of keys and the idiotic idea that home should go to the beginning of the document and end to the end, instead of begin and end of the line.
The new macbook keyboards are too ghastly for words. Computer makers have been sued into oblivion for better keyboards.
