KeyTronic DESIGNER-P2

Firm keypresses - you know exactly where the keypress contact is ; Audible response for the same reason ; Nice long cable ; Super comfortable

Can't open the darn thing to clean it--although the upside-down shakes don't sound half as bad with this keyboard ; No USB adapter included

Great feel and noise, and gets better with age, great for typing and RTS gaming ; Weighted keys are very nice to type on ; Solid feel. Truly is one of the best keyboards around ; I really enjoy the typing feel and sound it makes ; As close to the Topre...

A couple of issues I had with this keyboard ; 1. The F keys are way to high to use for gaming, but I actually do not use the F keys, shame on my, but I've been doing it for 10 years so I'm fine with it ; 2. The keyboard does not take kind to any water...

Nice layout: Enter key and backspace are where they should be, keys have nice height and most have decent action. I can get 85 wpm; 10 higher than on the Model M I traded for this ; I wish I hadn't. I hate this keyboard

Keys are not removable. I like to know what's in my equipment so the first thing I did was pop a key off to see what kind of switches it uses. Unfortunately I was doubly disappointed because first it uses rubber dome capacitive switches that feel like...

The keys are tall, and have very spacious gaps next to each other. This is a very important feature for me, as laptop keyboards and other "flat" designs usually have no space between keys, causing me to hit 2+ keys far too often. I got this one used...

Not the best choice for gaming, especially if you like to hotkey things. The reason is that the F1 - F12 keys are super far away, and difficult to reach in a pinch. Cord is also a tad shorter than I would like

Heavy, sturdy, nice tactile response. Stays put. Bought to replace 15 year old IBM KB. This one seems easier to type on and I seem to be able to type a bit faster with fewer errors as well. Has an 'old-school' keyboard feel to it. Keys are laid out...

It wasn't free. That's hardly a valid 'con' but it's all I've got

Large enough keys, very sturdy, easy to read characters

Loud keys, long from monitor to wrists (had to push my monitor back)

Keystroke feedback, quality feel, simpley great overall excecution

For the price, none

I have been a long time fan of Keytronic'c keyboards, but I haven't owned one in a while. I *finally* got this one today, and all I can say is "wow." You definetly get what you pay for in this case. The feel of these keys is unbelievable. Nice, crisp...

Limited retail store distribution, somewhat high shipping for such a low-weight package

Keyboard preferences vary widely. I like mine with a good tactile feel - slight resistive pressure to start then a smooth quiet (not silent but not with a loud click either) contact. That describes this keyboard pretty accurately, and it's the best one...

The textured finish on my board is slightly non-uniform. It's almost like it endured abnormal thermal stress during manufacturing (a total guess on my part). This effect is slight and not too noticable - you have to be looking for it to see it. It...
