Thermaltake had one upcoming item that was put into the Esports line, but it's position there is kind of questionable. It is another keyboard, so new that it doesn't have a name yet, but it is very plain. No fans, no dancing bear icons, no nothing, just a black keyboard. The only visible thing that separates it from a keyboard bundled with a new PC is a long wrist rest.

It is however somewhat magical in operation, the keyboard is an 'clicky' unit in the old IBM model M style. Rather than rubber domes, this keyboard has springs and mechanical contacts that make an audible 'click' when you type them, and give tactile feedback of key presses. It is more expensive to make these keyboards, but many people swear by them. If you like clicky keyboards, Thermaltake should have one for you in short order.

I have heard a few people over the years say they wanted just this, so here you go! :)
 
**** yes

you can buy copies of the original keyboards from unicomp but they are expensicve to ship over from the US but well worth it

i will definately be trying these out
 
My dad is using an old Acer clicky keyboard for his PC. Damn loud but an absolute dream to type on. I can get serious speed on it :cool::p:p
 
i'm packing a genuine IBM one much to the derision of "meejer keyboard" types in my office. It rocks. Keyboards are for typing, not controlling the volume.
 
oooo think ill be keeping a nice close eye on this, keyboards these days are a nightmare to type on, these older style ones really let you pick up some steam when typing.
be nice to have something that isnt soft and mushy under my finger tips aswell!
