ABS
Adesso
Cherry
Das
Deck
Ducky (are they still in business?)
Filco
(IBM Model M if you can find it)
Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (cherry brown)
Razer
Rosewill
Steel Series 7G/6Gv2

This is just a short list of where you can find some mechanical keyboards. But those with PS2 will vary.

you can order Ducky from China. ABS M1 was discontinued a year ago and the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 with Cherry MX Brown was a mod.

you can order Leopold from elitekeyboards.com

It's a ware out there--until ZIF takes over. :roll:

Has anyone seen a slim key mechanical keyboard? I've seen the slim keys for sale individually but never on a product.

BumbleBee · Jul 11, 2011

what do you mean slim keys?

LAN_deRf_HA · Jul 11, 2011

Like laptop keys. Once you go slim it's hard to go back to tripping over those old clunkers...

you don't have to press a Cherry MX switch all the way down like a rubber dome.

Cherry MX switches travel 4mm but actuate at 2mm.

a scissor switch like in a laptop travel 2-3.2mm.
