What do I mean by durable?
No not if it can by run over by a truck but for how long I can type on it before the keys tops start to wear (so you can't see what your typin) or key failure generally for over usage.

For Cherry switches; Several of Cherry's own branded boards. But you need exact unit codes to know exactly what model board and type switch you're getting. Cherry's number convention is also considered a complete cluster****. Cherry G80-3000, Cherry G80-3494 and G80-3600LYCEU-2 (have Cherry red switches which are currently a hot sought after switch, only appear to be available in the Asian markets so would require buying and importing from there), ABS M1, Filco, Das Keyboard II (a rebranded Cherry G80-3000) Das Keyboard III, Rosewill, Deck Keyboards, iOne Scorpius M10, iOne Xarmor (their website appears to be down at the minute and a chap on another forum has a pre-production unit he was testing for them which was wireless (2.4Ghz)), Steelseries 7G and 6Gv2, Adesso MKB-135B Pro, Razer Blackwidows, DSI SMK-88, DSI Modular Mac Keyboard, a couple other DSI boards I can't remember the names of, Creative Vision Technologies, Kinesis for ergonomic keyboards, Maltron for really weird ergo and just plain WTF keyboards, Datacomp DCK100

Looking at the stuff I prefer cherry switches but I need to know out of all of those which has the most non-fade keys.
And my budget is £100-£150 but I will pay more for quality and I don't need wireless as its a PC keyboard not a sit on the sofa one.

It could be on the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate. The Geekhack review states;



But the Razer website states;



Other websites also state that the Razer is NOT NKRO but wired to prevent most blocking near the WASD keys. It has problem with Z, X and C obviously and also round the arrow keys. It's not as good as full NKRO. So if I was gaming I'd be wary.

As the Geekhack review also points out, it's a keyboard aimed at gamers. So the lack of full NKRO is quite puzzling.

just a thought but has anyone thought of doing a PS2/USB hybrid keyboard?
