Keyboard

My merc z keyboard is showing wear and tear. Need to replace it. What is a good keyboard to use.

I use a Dell KB2521 Keyboard.
Came with a computer. less than $20 I think.

Keys are low profile(huge plus) and dont make too much CLICK CLACK, keys are easy to pop out and pop in.
I saw someone hate on it because the keys faded... not sure what's up with that.
keys faded, if you care, though. after 4+ years the spacebar is beginning to become weak.

if you care, ill list downsides here:
sloppy spacebar after awhile, took maybe 3 years until it began having some problems but I replaced the bar from another broken keyboard and now it's ok.(like i said, really easy to swap keys)
fully faded: a s d b l and enter.
semi faded: ? left-shift w e f c v n m.

im probably gonna use this keyboard for another handful of years.. havent ever had to replace it(aside from spacebar, which will cost you maybe 20 cents if you don't have a spare part lying around.

edit: also i thought I should tell you, this post probably belongs in Off Topic, since it doesn't have much to do with PR.

I use the cheapest keyboard called "defender" that there is and i'm pretty happy with it. Only problem that the keys are a bit on the loud side.
Don't fall fo brand names - keyboardwise one shouldn't care much about quality and stuff as one only needs WASD, space, CTRL, etc.

As long as the keyboard has some sort of anti ghosting (4 or more keys) functionality it should be fine.

Been using a Fujitsu Siemens from '99 for 10 years now, it works like charm. It was like 20$

Multiple water/coffee spills, not a single malfunction.

Don't buy a gaming keyboard , it's waste of money, mostly marketing B's.
