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 my original Model M keyboard that came with my IBM PS/2 30286 in 1989. It has been used as the working keyboard on all five computers I have had over the past twenty years. My wife is a touch typist who swears by it and despises all other keyboards.
I recently changed jobs. The keyboard on my PC there is is the usual modern piece of junk. In the lab I am using an ancient Preparative Liquid Chromatograph dating back to 1986. The more recent white box PC used for the instrument's data system is fitted with a glorious IBM Model M keyboard that is probably all that survives of the computer that came with the system. Great!
